Rest and Dreaming
AWE
The
Experience
At WFO, we believe that dreaming is where vision takes shape, and where the seeds of innovation and justice are planted. And dreaming requires rest.
Be part of a gathering designed to give you space to breathe, reflect, and dream boldly. The Awe Experience is like no other opportunity out there. This is your chance to create space for your visionary dreams.
These are not just retreats. They are fundraisers with purpose. Your gift above and beyond the starting investment will support the same experience for justice workers across Oregon, so they too can rest and dream about our collective future.
