We are building stronger, more compassionate communities with a deep understanding of the natural connections between yoga philosophy and social justice.
Our innovative brand of yoga education is delivered through the lens of public health, social equity, and community wellness rather than a luxury commodity.
Our work is growing happier, healthier, and more connected communities through compassion, gratitude, and mindfulness.

Stadiums and their teams are an expression of a community’s values and cultural spirit. The best stadiums are designed to build multigenerational prosperity and civic pride for entire cities, states, and regions.
We believe Dillon Stadium should be recognized as a public park and school infrastructure with the goal of building community health and wealth.
Our public interest advocacy exposes Dillon Stadium as a monument to the political corruption, social injustice, and ruling class capitalism crushing Connecticut.

The Hartford Times is a legacy media brand styled as “a champion of reform and an advocate of the people.”
Our work revives the Hartford Times as a civics platform to improve Connecticut’s access to information, community connectivity, and media justice through consistent solution oriented engagement, inspirational story-telling, and a shared sense of self-determination.
Our goal is to develop a sustainable, equitable, non-partisan, non-profit multimedia platform promoting community-driven, multigenerational narratives and open, people-centered dialogue, with an aim toward providing historically underrepresented and underserved people access to our democracy.
