Our Inspiration and Vision
With their backgrounds in personal development, work with professional athletes and youth at Nike, and experience building successful, ethical businesses, they were inspired to share their passion and knowledge with others.
They created the foundation to offer young adults from challenging backgrounds the same supportive retreat experiences that had a positive impact on their own lives. By teaming up with retreats and connecting with teachers who specialize in self-realization, breathwork, self-love, and personal healing—experiences often out of reach for city youth—they’ve opened new opportunities for these young adults.
Together, they provide a chance for participants to learn life-changing skills, build confidence, create successful lives, and positively impact their communities.
