Mission
To encourage individuals to awaken to the Spirit within and live optimistic and purposeful lives while supporting others to do the same.
Vision
To transform individuals, families and organizations through an increased awareness that encourages personal and organizational growth.
Principles of Transformation
Based on core values that emphasize the importance of empowering the self, families and organizations; these principles center on the theme of attaining true balance in life – balance measured by physical, psychological and spiritual health. These principles challenge individuals and organizations to realize they are more than the sum of their behaviors; they must take responsibility for their actions and never forget to leave those they meet along life’s journey in a better place than they initially found them. This can be achieved by creating transformational experiences which foster positive life changes and personal empowerment.
