To use creativity to heal our communities and cultivate the leader in all of us.

We are devoted to reducing violence and health risks for anyone affected by Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs).

Inspired by the legacies of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Thich Nhat Hanh, we create through mindfulness, peace, and creativity to heal communities and empower the next generation of leaders.
