Impact Investing Solutions Announces the Legacy of Impact and Love Retreat to Discover Life's Purpose
Zug, Switzerland, May 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- This November, a rare and transformative event by Impact Investing Solutions (IIS) and BE SHIRO Foundation, is unfolding in the serene Swiss countryside, a private, weeklong 'Legacy of Impact and Love' retreat designed specifically for seasoned investors ready to shift their capital and consciousness toward global impact. Limited to just 15 carefully selected participants, this immersive experience will take place at Kloster Fischingen, a historic monastery near the forest, from 22nd to 29th November 2025. It will offer the perfect backdrop for profound inner work and deeper personal realignment.
Legacy of Impact and LoveBehind this initiative is a forward-thinking organization with a mission to accelerate the flow of capital into meaningful, world-changing causes. Drawing from ancient meditative practices, cutting-edge AI matchmaking, and years of experience in impact investing, the retreat will help participants align their resources with their deepest values, what the organizers call going beyond impact.
Why this event? Because too many successful individuals, despite their financial achievements, still feel something is missing.
'Money doesn't make you whole,' says Sveta Banerjee, founder and CEO of IIS. 'You can have all the earthly possessions and still find yourself looking up at the stars, hoping for more. But when you look inward and realize what you truly want to bring to this world, that is what brings true fulfillment."
This retreat is for those who have built wealth and influence but are seeking a more authentic legacy. Attendees will work closely with a handpicked team of four facilitators, including Sveta, the co-founder Ben Banerjee, alongside Andreas Dudas and Antoinette Haering of BE SHIRO, a Swiss-based cluster dedicated to empowering individuals to turn their unique life purpose into impactful change. Together, they'll guide participants through soul-centered meditations, purpose discovery, and deep conversations about how to activate philanthropic or impact capital in alignment with their true selves.
The retreat's exclusivity is deliberate. With only 15 spots available, the experience is highly personalized to ensure every participant has the space, time, and guidance to go inward and connect deeply with what truly matters.
Using refined AI matchmaking systems and insights gathered from years of working at the intersection of wealth, purpose, and social change, the team behind this initiative believes now is the time. 'We're seeing more and more investors holding back capital, not because they don't want to make a difference, but because they're still trying to decide with their heads,' says Sveta. 'This retreat helps them decide with their hearts.'
The idea behind this retreat is truly for participants to uncover their life's true mission and then channel their wealth, whether through investments or philanthropy, into causes that ignite that mission. That's how real change happens. That's how legacies are built. With a powerful team, ancient teaching, and an extraordinary setting, this retreat offers something truly unique: a bridge between wealth and purpose, between success and fulfillment.
With the retreat taking place this November and demand already building, now is the time to apply. By securing their place, individuals can solidify their place in global impact.

St. Jude Children's Hospital's fundraising arm selects new CEO in midst of global expansion
St. Jude Children's Research Hospital's fundraising organization, ALSAC, promoted Ike Anand Tuesday to become its new president and chief executive officer. The leadership change comes as ALSAC -- which raised more than $2.5 billion for the Memphis-based hospital in 2024, according to tax filings – navigates a global expansion and an increasingly complicated funding landscape in the United States. 'My role is to make sure that ALSAC is able to deliver on its promises to St. Jude so that St. Jude can continue to dream big,' said Anand, who had been ALSAC's chief operating officer since 2020. 'And ALSAC has a lot of initiatives in the pipeline to make sure that that happens.' Dr. Frederick M. Azar, chairman of ALSAC's board of directors, said Anand had been instrumental in redefining the organization's strategic direction, including its six-year $12.9 billion plan to provide pediatric cancer cures and treatments globally, and will help it continue to grow. 'Throughout his tenure, Ike has demonstrated visionary leadership and an unwavering commitment to the St. Jude mission,' Azar said in a statement. For Anand, who spent 15 years at travel tech firm Expedia Group and the rest of his career at other for-profit businesses, heading a nonprofit, even one as large and influential as ALSAC, was not an early life goal. But the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on his family and friends changed that. 'I was hunting to do something that makes me feel valuable and purpose-driven in this world,' Anand said. 'And what I found, it was the perfect match.' At Expedia, he learned the importance of data, nurturing customer relationships, and managing teams around the world – experiences he says helps at ALSAC. 'We have a culture here now of testing and learning, getting better at what we do and ultimately understanding that we're not really competing against anybody else,' he said. 'We are trying to be better at what we do.' One area where Anand has drawn attention is incorporating artificial intelligence into ALSAC's fundraising. Its initiative of using AI to help guide its communications with donors has influenced multiple programs in philanthropy. Anand is quick to point out that ALSAC does not use donors' specific data to communicate to them individually, but does use aggregated data to make decisions about what information may interest certain types of donors. 'For us, it is really, really vital that the consumers have trust in us and that they see us valuing their privacy, that they see us valuing their information and using it in the right manner,' he said. 'And so we're really careful about it.' Health care policy changes from President Donald Trump's administration may impact rural hospitals and increase the need for St. Jude's services, which include free treatment for children with cancer. However, Anand says that St. Jude and ALSAC see it as their mission to care for all 400,000 children around the world diagnosed with cancer, so the changes do not really change their focus. 'Our mission is a unifying mission," he said. 'We are not a political organization. I think everybody agrees that saving children is one of the most important things we can do as humanity.' Marlo Thomas, National Outreach Director for St. Jude and daughter of the late entertainer and philanthropist Danny Thomas who founded ALSAC and St. Jude, said that goal has remained the same. 'When my father founded St. Jude with a dream that no child should die in the dawn of life, he meant no child anywhere,' she said in a statement. 'Ike Anand is the perfect person to carry that dream forward and help continue to expand our mission globally." ____
