a simple premise:

If we care about connection and belonging, we have to care about leaving and endings.

a simple question:

What would communities be like if how institutions leave mattered as much as how they begin and grow?

a simple goal:

To build norms, language, and standards of responsibility and care for institutional leaving that are as robust as the ones we bring to building and joining.‍ ‍

WellLeaving’s goal isn’t to make leaving more common; it’s to make leaving more about community.

a simple structure:

WellLeaving is a five-year project — not an organization that needs to be around for the long-term. We’re planning to end from the moment we start, leaving a legacy of momentum and impact.
