Mission and Program Overview

Mission

SEE THE ATTACHED STATEMENT on schedule O

People who arrive as staff at Lost River Hostel vary widely, but usually share a few characteristics. Almost all are at a major turning point in life. Perhaps just leaving home for the first time, changing or leaving a job, getting a divoirce, finding or losing a great deal of money, or starting a business. The lessons we teach are ones that repeat over and over as time goes on, but that never lose their value. They are geared toaward purpose, peace, self-confidence, intentional living, kindness and acceptance. When we succeed, we are sending people out into the world more prepared to teach, meditate, build, problem solve, uplift, discover, research and organize for the basid building blocks of a quality human life.
