ECCO INITIATIVE

Thank you for your interest in partnering with the Institute for Culture Wellness, curator of the ECCO Initiative (Experience Curation & Cultural Organizing).

This partnership opportunity is designed for organizations that:

• Produce or support culture wellness–based events

• Value excellence in experience curation, execution, and impact

• Respect community self-determination as a foundation for sustainability

• Are interested in strengthening the field through learning, collaboration, and shared promotion

• Want to participate in coordinated summer activations and marketing efforts that elevate intentional, community-centered experiences

If interested, please provide the requested information below.

ECCO Initiative partnerships are collaborative and values-aligned. At the core of our work is Culture Wellness, which we understand as a theory of transformation. Culture Wellness holds that the unique, authentic expression of the values and principles self-determined by a particular community is essential to that community’s long-term health, wealth, and well-being. In practice, this means supporting experiences, events, and systems that allow communities to define themselves, care for themselves, and thrive on their own terms.
