Q1 2025 Highlights from our Elephant Rider Chapters Around the World
We now have 10 official Local Elephant Rider Chapters in cities across the globe, and it’s all thanks to the generosity and leadership of our incredible Chapter Leads, who host in-person meetups to help keep our global community feeling close, connected and inspired.
When you complete one of our ECD Specialist Courses, you become a Certified Practitioner and officially earn the title of Elephant Rider. You keep that title for life.
After your 90 days of course community access, even if you choose not to become a paid member, you’re still an Elephant Rider — and you’re always welcome at any of our local Chapter Meetups. These gatherings are a place to come together, swap stories, share learnings, reflect on emotions at work, and simply stay connected.

Wherever you are on your Elephant Rider journey, there’s always a place for you in our community.
