About Geraldine Hepp of Amani Institute

Geraldine Hepp is co-founder at EAST and Global Community Director at Amani Institute. As part of Amani's founding team she has seen the Institute from start-up to scaling phase, launching on 3 continents, designing and delivering leadership trainings for over 500 professionals from 60 different countries and innovation programs for cultural hubs and organizations around the world.

I enjoy building - and being part of - communities that have the courage and moral imagination to envision a world rooted in love and aligned with our highest potential as humanity. My work is focusing inclusive, transformative and restorative experiences in the social impact field with Amani Institute and in the cultural sector with EAST (East African Soul Train).
