A Quiet Rebellion
A space for building conscious community for a more peaceful world.
This space is created through the principles of inclusion, acknowledgement, care for self and others. The expressed goal of the offerings provided here and the nurturing of the community is to root in loving-kindness and energetically expand our capacity for peace. Practicing non-violence and incorporating yogic philosophies into daily living support these hopes for a more peaceful, inclusive world. It is in the everyday gestures of connection and intention that we create a quiet rebellion toward the liberation of all.
