We recognize that the resources that helped to develop the United States and much of the Western world were stolen from Indigenous people and people of African heritage and exploited to build wealth for a European-descended minority.

We aim to build an actively anti-racist society that uses contemplative practices to continuously recognize and reshape oppressive ways of thinking, relating, educating, and community building. Our goal is to transform the human legacy of oppression and exploitation and create a new paradigm for coexistence and development.
