INDIVIDUAL TRANSFORMATION

Radical acceptance of self is necessary and vital for liberation.

What we envision for the world, our organizations, our communities, our families must start with us.

Accepting and honoring our personalities, bodies, imperfections, and truths cultivates a loving-self relationship which in turn cultivates loving relationships with others. Systems of power require disconnection and hierarchies. Healing relationships is a key strategy to disrupting systems of power.
