On October 24, Foundation House explored the rapidly evolving world of artificial intelligence and its implications for social impact.

AI is transforming our world. Will it help or harm? Wired for Good? explores how we can harness artificial intelligence to advance social, environmental, and mental well-being, while aligning innovation with ethics to ensure technology serves both people and the planet. 

We are racing to make machines more intelligent, but perhaps the more urgent task is to make humanity more awake. Artificial Intelligence is transforming our world at breakneck speed. It can already compose symphonies, write code, predict disease, and navigate financial markets faster than any human mind. Yet amid this technological brilliance, something essential is being lost: the wisdom to guide our intelligence toward what truly matters.

The way we treat the soil mirrors the way we treat each other, and ourselves. For generations, industrial systems have extracted from the Earth without giving back, depleting both ecological and human well-being. But a different paradigm is possible: one rooted in reciprocity, regeneration, and respect. In this Impact Insights paper, we explore the deep connection between soil health and soul health, and how shifting from extraction to reciprocity can restore not only ecos

Sustainability isn’t just about improving the outer world. The focus must also be at our inner world. At its root, the climate crisis is a crisis of disconnection: from nature, from one another, and from ourselves. In this Impact Insights piece from our Climate Conscious series, we explore the inner dimension of sustainability—why consciousness, values, and mindset are foundational to meaningful, lasting environmental change.

For thousands of years, the Vedantic tradition has taught that the outer world is a reflection of our inner state—and that harmony with nature begins with harmony within ourselves. Today, as humanity faces the climate crisis, these ancient insights feel more urgent than ever.

If the science is clear, why aren’t we acting? Climate Conscious unpacks the mental, cultural, and systemic blind spots that keep us from confronting climate change — and shows how shifting awareness can turn knowledge into transformative action.

“Three great forces define our time – climate, capital, and consciousness. Our calling is to converge them to create a just, regenerative, and prosperous future.”

We explore how climate justice serves as the bridge between ecological health, human dignity, and psychological resilience—and why integrity in our actions can transform inequity into shared flourishing.

Coming Home to Place explores the bioregional movement, a vision for organizing our lives, economies, and communities around the natural boundaries of watersheds, foodsheds, and ecosystems. By rooting solutions in the unique character and resources of each place, we can regenerate the land, strengthen local economies, and build resilience from the ground up.

The fourth annual Climate & Conflict, co-hosted by The Peace Department, convened a diverse group of grassroots community leaders, policy experts, cultural strategists, funders and investors, and the public at large at a pivotal moment—as federal climate policy rollbacks threaten progress on environmental justice and the green transition.

This gathering, led by Greenwich United Way, brought together local organizations, parents, and advocates to unveil Greenwich Connects, a program developed in partnership with Liberation Programs and YMCA to address these urgent challenges and launch new pathways for support.
