Why Awareness, Courage, and Love Matter
We emphasize the principles of Awareness, Courage, and Love (ACL) because they are empirically supported to facilitate deep connections with self and others, and a sense of belonging. We aim to create an environment where you feel seen, heard, and valued, and where you are encouraged to manifest your truest and most authentic self in service to the world.
Awareness - Embrace your feelings and the feelings of others with open-hearted presence, curiosity, and tenderness, acknowledging the history that shapes our reactions. Agree deeply with whatever resides in your heart and body, and extend that understanding to others.
Courage - Step out of your comfort zone to pursue what you value. Live boldly in alignment with your passions and inspire others to do the same.
Love - Nurture love by embracing your own worth, practicing self-care, and openly receiving and expressing appreciation for yourself and others. Foster deep connections by acknowledging and celebrating the experiences and growth of those around you.
We are an international community focused on transformative growth through genuine heartfelt interactions.
