It takes a village

Join us in making a meaningful difference to humanity

“It is not the end of the physical body that should worry us.
Rather, our concern must be to live while we’re alive – to release our inner selves from the spiritual death that comes with living behind a facade designed to conform to external definitions of who and what we are”

— Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, Swiss-American psychiatrist
