HERENOW The journey starts inside with a connection to our "wiser self". We will explore and enhance this connection through daily mindfulness practices, breath awareness and guided movement as well thought-provoking discussions about who we are, our purpose and how we live our best lives.
TRUENATURE We came from nature. We are part of nature. Rekindle your connection to the natural world with our educational hikes. We will learn how island ecosystems evolve and how their delicate balance can be affected by our actions.
