Our Practices
We spend quite a bit of time reflecting, unlearning, feeling and sharing with each other. In a world that survives on fast-paced life and toxic competition, we try to celebrate wellbeing, slow-pace, transparent communication, care and supporting each other be a better version of ourselves. In the process, we try to create and hold space for each other that feels safe, nurturing, liberating and meaningful.
