It Starts With The HEART

Change is the new constant in our lives and it leaves us feeling overwhelmed and stuck in survival mode “getting by” each day. Living in survival  impacts decision-making, stifles innovation, and hinders true progress. We lose sight of the potential for a thriving future, both individually and as a community.
‍
"It Starts With The HEART" is a movement that unlocks the transformative power of heart-centered wisdom. Drawing on neuroscience, we can train our brains to shift away from fear and survival towards compassion and heart-coherence. This shift leads to thriving.

We then unlock new possibilities, collaborate with clarity, and cultivate resilience that propels us forward. Let’s imagine living in a city where EVERYONE benefits from innovation and progress, driven by the qualities and wisdom of the heart.
