Live your values. Change the world. Choose MOGO!
Let your life reflect what truly matters to you. Discover ways to choose MOGO (the most good), act on what’s most important to you, and build a better world. Come to our life-transforming weekend MOGO workshop, that offers you:
- Dynamic activities that show you how to help people, animals, the environment and yourself all at the same time, bringing together everything you care about
- Practical tips for your daily decisions, volunteer work, and career, so you can implement change in any and all aspects of your life
- Like-minded people who will support and inspire you, building confidence in your ability to affect change
- Beautiful natural surroundings that provide the setting for new experiences, reaffirming your commitment to the earth and its inhabitants.
You’ll learn about the ways in which your everyday choices, your work, your activism, and your volunteerism can do the most good and the least harm. Part retreat, part educational workshop, MOGO is recommended for anyone who wishes to learn how to make their lives a manifestation of their greatest vision for the world.

“Excellent! Worth every minute!”
~ Cherie Herne, York, ME
“Thanks to you all for a very stimulating, informative, spiritual, and revitalizing weekend.”
~ Linda Starkweather, Canandaigua, NY
“Thank you. Thank you. Thank you! By nature I am a ‘quiet advocate,’ trying to do the right things and make the right choices in life – to practice MOGO on some level. This workshop has helped me refocus my energy and desire, to feel okay about my failings to be perfect but encouraged to do better on a daily basis.”
~ Doug Bowie, York, ME
