Our Mission

We envision a future when people find common ground and work together to build a peaceful, thriving world.

Track Two’s purpose is to convene non-governmental influencers across borders, providing them with the space and tools to form alliances that spawn peace building networks. These influencers include journalists, artists, educators, students, writers, business and non-profit leaders, psychologists, scientists and philosophers.

​Drawing on a long history of successful citizen diplomacy grounded in self-awareness, Track Two structures gatherings so that participants can explore the conditions and predispositions that influence their own actions and those of others. These convenings are held at Esalen Institute (Big Sur, CA) and in various locations within its areas of concentration: Russia, the Middle East and the North Pacific including China. Their aim is to help participants work with colleagues from different sectors to reimagine solutions to a variety of problems.
