The Manaslu Leadership Expedition is an invitation to adventure! On this course we work together to build an intentional community where we explore concepts pivotal to an empowering culture. As we travel, we seek to engage honestly with each other and with God. This professional growth opportunity is specifically designed to be a catalyst for leaders, ages 18+, to recharge and build a better community. Join this expedition to the rooftop of the world and learn the art of Expeditionary Leadership.
