Stress and anxiety are mounting in society today, affecting every level of performance and quality-of-life. To master this unruly part of our nature requires that we connect with a force more powerful than ourselves. It's a practice, an art form, and a science. More than that, it's a commitment to evolve, if we choose.
Our philosophy is that we can rise up from the debilitating effects of stress and the stress-response in our lives and begin turning on higher and higher human potentials, from neurological to spiritual, that give us incredible power to change the course of our habituations. We are meant for more. We are meant to evolve beyond the primitive survivalist we're programmed to be and step into our true highest potential as human beings.
