Videos, podcast, and community-- To see who we truly are, and to become more ourselves: more aware empowered agents, being humans together; To fulfill the profound desire for connection and intimacy: the need to know others and be known, loved, and needed in return; To cultivate more meaningful relationships and bonds; To escape loneliness, isolation, and individualism; To develop your hierarchy of values and priorities, and embody it in the world; To revitalize and build communities that embody our highest ideals and wisdom across generations; To advocate for the beauty of humanity and life in the face of anti-humanism; To overcome being institutionalized by the state and corporations; To turn from the never-ending emptiness of the pursuit of success, wealth, status, and power by knowing what enough is; To develop meaning and purpose by acting intentionally in the present. Amen. Amen. This is the way of being humans together.

“Leave me alone!” This is the curse we cast on ourselves.
Solitary confinement is the greatest punishment we enforce in many of our societies. We did away with torture and most capital punishment. So now we make people sit alone in cages.
But guess what? Many, many of us sit alone in well appointed cages of our own making and our own choosing. We buy our isolation in 4000 square foot homes, with smart phones and social media, and an increasingly caustic civil society where people resist, riot, and shout no at each other all day long.
Wealth, institutions, public schools, corporations, and the pursuit of success all contribute to increased isolation and loneliness in our culture and society.
We can escape isolation by valuing relationships and sharing time, hospitality, and meaningful experiences together.
