•     We are all spiritual beings and therefore of infinite worth. 

•     We are all in need of healing, because of what we have done, what we have failed to do, and what has been done to us.

•     That confronting the past enables reconciliation and mutual understanding – two necessary components of a more peaceful and just future.   

Who We Serve

            We serve people who endure the pain of discrimination, marginalization, and other traumas large and small. These include, but are not limited to immigrants and refugees, victims of domestic violence, child abuse, rape, sex trafficking, people in residential substance abuse treatment, those living with disabilities, indigenous peoples, war veterans and their families, incarcerated and formerly incarcerated, police and communities and first responders. Our workshops have proven highly effective in empowering them to begin to heal, to seek further help if they need it, and to move forward with hope to create a better life.
