We see Self Care as a critical element to cultivating the strength and fortitude to show up to the injustices, pain and challenges of our world.

How we take care of ourselves in times of insecurity and destabilization often reflects our deepest values and beliefs, and is an opportunity to support the world we want to see come into being.
