PurposeLab
PurposeLab — November 2026
Find your purpose. Shape an idea. Take your first step.
Ten days at Berivoi to ask a question that matters, discover whom you want to serve, and turn an idea into something useful. Come with a project, a question, or simply the desire to explore what is in your hand.
We begin with God’s larger purpose, then work through perception, beliefs, values, identity, purpose, motivation and action. Expect hands-on workshops, honest conversations, small-group coaching and time to make, test and share a first contribution.
See one. Do one. Teach one.
Morning workshops open the questions. Afternoon Doers labs give you room to investigate, build and try things with real people. You will leave with a useful first result, what you learned from it, and a clear next step toward the entrepreneurship program planned for January/February 2027.
There is room to breathe, too: shared meals, walks, two Sabbaths of worship and rest, and a Thanksgiving table on November 26.
