We are currently hosting a book club that sets the stage for dismantling structures and improves awareness of the importance of Knowledge of Self. We believe that without these tools that focus on gaps in our education; we will continue to reinforce destructive behaviors towards man and the planet, nor will we be equipped to dismantle these structures or see a connection and responsibility we have with the natural laws we must abide. These experiences are required to reconnect us with our purpose, place, and protection of the planet and its inhabitants. Nothing is more important to us.
