To promote health and to reduce the risk of developing preventable adult onset diseases (diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, obesity, cad) by educating, motivating individuals and families. By targeting people facing the highest health risks, we work to disrupt a longstanding upward pattern towards avoidable, unjust adult onset diseases and stress related health issues prevalent in lower income communities and communities of color. Participants gain practice, tools, strategies and support for coping with life stressors for the fortification of body, mind and spirit wellness as a means to support one's highest dreams and aspirations. Our model is a neighborhood community center and holistic studies education center. Our professionally qualified community-minded teachers accomplish this through building awareness, yoga, group exercise, workshops, healthy eating education, walks, healing arts, mindfulness meditation, support groups, outdoor excursions, wellness circles and retreats
