WHat we stand for
-
Holistic Healing
We believe that healing arises when we attend to mind, body, spirit & our relationship to all that is around us.
-
Diversity
We embrace each person’s unique experience of culture, gender, race, sexuality, income level, age, ability, spirituality, family, and other significant influences.
-
Social Justice
We recognize many challenges people face are related to systemic issues and practice using anti-oppressive frameworks.
-
Community
We are committed to fostering a sense of belonging by encouraging mutual support and connection, and developing resources that build community.
