The breath of plants gives life to animals and the breath of animals gives life to plants. My breath is your breath, your breath is mine. It’s the great poem of give and take, of reciprocity that animates the world.

From Human-Centered to Life-Centered
This 4-week transformative learning journey is an invitation to reimagine how we live, think, and connect with the world around us. Our program offers a holistic learning experience integrating:
- Indigenous Wisdom & Ecocentric Philosophies
