God made us to be in relationship with others and all of creation. From the moment of birth, we are intimately connected to others for survival. Throughout our lives we hunger for deep connection and to be present as our authentic selves.  Yet, as we grow and experience wounding, our life-giving connections become severed, distorted, and/or convoluted.  Broken relationships, addictions, and loneliness have too often clouded the path to the intimacy we so desperately seek.

Through ritual, teaching, and sharing with our brothers we seek to reclaim our true intimate selves and restore our connection with earth, each other, and the Divine.
