Strong Roots, New Heights
May 23-26, 2027

The 2027 Mountain Lake Colloquium invites us to reflect on the theme Strong Roots, New Heights.

 

Inspired by the image of a tree that survives and grows because its roots run deep, the theme speaks to the realities of a time marked by global conflict, rapidly changing technologies, political shifts, and ongoing uncertainty. In moments of change, strong roots can provide the grounding we need to draw on what we know, what we value, and what we have learned together. Strong roots help us withstand instability, discern which changes warrant response, and move forward with purpose to reach new heights.

 

As Pakistani writer and consultant Tasneem Hameed reminds us:

“Learn character from trees, values from roots, and change from leaves.”*
