To be a catalyst for creativity and thought, where potential is realized.

To inspire leaders - artists, cultural, business, and community - to conceive powerful ideas and create new work that can be shared with and improve our world.   To experience the power of the mountains, particularly our home on Sacred Buffalo Guardian Mountain, supported by talented employees and thought leaders, to envision and to create, and be in relationship with our environment and each other.
