Our 1-day Rewealth Seminars are a rapid, affordable, enjoyable, and highly effective way to fast-track the growth or revitalization of your career, your investment portfolio, your company, your non-profit, or your academic institution.   Entrepreneurs, redevelopers, and investors also use these seminars to network and explore potential deals and partnerships.

For the past decade, your Rewealth Seminar leader, Storm Cunningham, has the world's foremost thought leader on restorative development.  He quite literally wrote the book on the $2 trillion/year global restoration economy, and on rewealth (the economic growth strategy based on renewing the world's natural, built, and socioeconomic assets).  He works directly with community leaders worldwide, primarily through the Places To Invest initiative.  He also works directly with institutional investors, redevelopers, corporations, and universities that are serving the needs of this exploding growth industry.

Now, you can take advantage of Storm's wealth of knowledge and connections by spending a day with him at Resolution Fund's headquarters in Washington, DC, just 3 blocks from the White House.

Note: Rewealth Seminars are primarily for the private sector.  If you are a community, regional, or national leader, you might wish to look into our Sustainable Renewal Seminars, which teach the public sector how to create rapid, resilient renewal. 

Rewealth Seminars are just $495 per person. 

Here are just a few of the benefits of attending:

• You'll gain a deeper understanding of the trends and principles in Storm Cunningham's two groundbreaking books: The Restoration Economy (2002) and Rewealth! (2008).  Lessons are illustrated with hundreds of powerful before-and-after photos, and revealing, behind-the-scenes stories.  You'll be the first to learn of any updates, activities, or new research related to these subjects.  The fluency you'll gain will help you more effectively champion rewealth strategies and implement rewealth tools within your community or organization, enabling you to become a key facilitator of rapid, resilient renewal.
• You'll gain advance knowledge of government initiatives, funding sources, new companies, and public-private projects...possibly leading to valuable strategic alliances or business development opportunities.  Each seminar is based on a syllabus that remains largely the same from month-to-month.  However, each is unique in two ways: 1) the attendees in each seminar are different, bringing unique knowledge, resources, and opportunities to the table; 2) we at Resolution Fund are constantly exposed to new rewealth initiatives and opportunities around the globe.  Those that aren't confidential will be offered at each seminar as examples, and contact information will be provided if you perceive a potential opportunity. These personal relationships and "inside information" alone can be worth many times the cost of your seminar. Larger organizations should thus consider sending staff to these seminars on a regular basis individually (rather than as a group) to maximize exposure to fellow attendees.
• You'll have a chance to receive worldwide publicity.  If Storm is impressed with a project or activity in which you're involved, he might write about it in his next book or magazine article. Or he might feature it in his keynotes and workshops.  This seminar could thus be expensed as a strategic marketing investment.
• You'll receive a handsome certificate of completion to hang on your wall and add to your résumé.   Rapid, resilient renewal is a universal goal of communities worldwide.  When potential clients or employers see that you've obtained training in restoration and revitalization strategies, they will see how you can help make their endeavors relevant to these powerful growth trends.

If you want to restore the world for a living as an investor, entrepreneur, redeveloper, researcher, teacher, policymaker, or corporate leader, a Rewealth Seminar is your ideal first step.

  • You don't need to register in multiples of 4: you'll get a 25% discount on your total registration whether your quantity is 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8.  There's a maximum of 8: we don't want a seminar to be too heavily populated by one organization.

• 50% Tuition for students, faculty, & small non-profits.  We offer a limited number of seats at half-price to full-time students, faculty, and the staff of small non-profits (annual budget under $250,000).   Please email us information about you and your school/organization, and we will send you a one-time-use discount code to use in the online registration form if you qualify.

Optional one-on-one consulting: Eight 90-minute one-on-one consulting sessions with Storm Cunningham are available during the 2 days following each Rewealth Seminar (Tuesdays and Wednesdays).  Fee: $500 each.  See the online registration form for availability.  With up to 48 people per seminar, but only eight consultation slots, you should register well ahead of time if you desire this optional service.

• You can use these 90-minute one-on-one sessions in almost any way you wish...run business plans/strategies past Storm for his input...tell him about a project that is seeking the kind of investor Storm might know...describe a restorative research project that needs partners or sponsors...tell Storm your ideal retirement lifestyle dream so that he might help you find a rewealth opportunity in your idea of paradise.

• Note: if you will be staying in town for after the Rewealth Seminar for other business or pleasure activities, it would be a great courtesy if you would choose a Wednesday time slot for your Consult.  That way, those who need to return home as soon as possible can use the Tuesday time slots. Thank you for your consideration!

Size, attire, & makeup of classes: Seminar sizes vary, usually from 6 - 18 registrants, but will never exceed 36.

We have six meeting rooms of varied sizes available to us, ranging from three conference rooms in our office to the magnificent Rotunda on top of the Reagan Building.  Smaller seminars have the advantage of greater personal attention per student from the instructor. Larger groups have the advantage of greater networking opportunities with other students.  It works well either way, but we prefer intimate groups, so we don't cancel seminars unless attendance goes below 6, which is highly unlikely.

Business casual is the suggested attire, but if you feel more comfortable in a tie--or in jeans--feel free to come as you please.

Your fellow attendees will likely come from all over the globe, so these seminars can be good networking opportunities for those seeking international opportunities or resources.  We purposely mix the public and private sectors, so those seeking and offering resources and business/investment opportunities might find them among their fellow students.  Classes will typically include investors (individual and institutional), entrepreneurs, mayors/community leaders, as well as executives from major corporations, economic development groups, planning/design firms, professionals/consultants, and government economic/environmental/social agencies at all levels.

Lunch / Reception Sponsorships: If your organization would like to pick up the tab for the seminar lunch, you can have 5 minutes to address the group and pass out your materials.  If you'd like to pick up the bar / hors d'oeuvre tab, you can join the group for the one-hour informal networking reception at the end of the day (again, with 5 minutes to address the group and offer materials).  We reserve the right to refuse lunch/reception sponsorship opportunities if we deem the products or services offered to be inappropriate or not of interest to seminar attendees.

The cost of these sponsorships varies with the size of the group, of course, but we can tell you the cost per attendee in advance. Sponsorship opportunities are limited to organizations whose leaders have attended a Rewealth Seminar, as we wish to to ensure that you understand the goals and interests of our attendees. Email us if you'd like to learn more.

Language:   All seminars are presently conducted in English.  Sorry: due to the intimate size of the seminars (6 - 36), simultaneous interpretation services are not cost-effective. [Note: we are looking to partner with a small number of organizations that can offer Rewealth Seminars and the Real Revitalization Program in other major languages in their parts of the world. Email us if you'd like to learn more.]
