The community that is possible to create online continues to astound us, but get ready, because we are committed to also providing an in-person experience for all of you where we do all the things: eat amazing food, move, practice, make websites, and explore how you want to contribute to the world.
The point of all of this? Find your tribe!
Find a friend or a group of friends, mentors or peers that will listen to your ideas, dreams, your wants and your worries. It makes the hugest difference to be surrounded by people that you trust to be honest and supportive. And, it feels so hopeful to know youāre working towards contributing to the world with people by your side.

ps: One of our other favorite recipes of the week!? Chia seed pudding! 1 cup almond milk, 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, 4 tablespoons of chia seeds. Put it all in a jar and shake it vigorously, and then shake off and on for another about 5 minutes whenever you walk past the jar again. Put in the fridge overnight. So good!
