Our Vision
Our Vision: A woven tapestry of sovereign people and thriving communities working together for the wellbeing of all current and future generations. We work towards our vision by supporting the creation of local economies based on natural principles, powered by heart-centered leaders, dynamic teams and partnerships, and connecting one another through a network of reciprocal learning, technology and wise-practice.
Our Purpose
Our Purpose: We work to inspire the true potential of leaders, teams and communities to build a world that allows all of us and our Mother Earth to thrive. We work towards our purpose by supporting self-reliant communities develop their own value-based economies. In building new ways forward, our team of like-minded professionals are investing in sovereign solutions.
Our Origin
Our Origins: GIDT is led by some of Canada’s most prominent leaders who have transformed their communities by building strong leaders, dynamic teams, and empowered partnerships. Jerry & Sonia came together 10 years ago with a shared vision of communities prospering from their own internal well of knowledge, wisdom and sovereign decision-making agency.
Together we are writing our new collective story
