About
Shaya Collective was created due to the frustration with DEIA practices led by practitioners across the
globe.
Our organization found that training alone was not enough for people to transform. We started to question how we reconcile injustices as professionals in the field of DEIA. As we reflected on our journeys and experiences, we all gained understanding through immersive learning environments that inspired us to take action over performative allyship.
Although at Shaya Collective, we understood immersive travel as transformation through our experiences, we wanted to test our theory. So we conducted a qualitative research project to understand how traveling affects people from diverse backgrounds. Our research showed once individuals were exposed to an immersive learning experience, they were better able to understand opposite values and attitudes and be more empathic towards others. They did less stereotyping and had fewer misconceptions about other people and cultures.

Some DEIA training and practices have essentially upheld systems of injustice by creating a space with quick training for the check mark as opposed to a destination. We are confident our services do quite the opposite, inspiring transformation and agency over action. We offer a catalog of services to fit the needs of any organization or company.
At Shaya Collective, we believe everyone is made in the image of God. Therefore, everyone has the basic right to prosperity and peace, and if you believe that as well, you are a partner of ours; welcome!
