Hope is the beginning of navigating change…
LYOS philosophy is based on the principle of “spiritual awakening.”
In this context, a Spiritual Awakening means: we awaken to the feeling of hope as a path to change and grow. If we can awaken to hope, it gives us a path to awaken to ourselves, to nature, and to our feelings. Doing so allows us to awaken to our accountability for bringing the possibilities we want into existence through conscious choice. From here, we begin to awaken to our authentic needs and right to live a fulfilling life.
LYOS recognizes that many of us require a new template for life that enables us to feel joyous, happy, and free; the template is a spiritual awakening that gives us hope for a new way of living.
Each of us is accountable for the choices we make today, but some things from our past are not our burden to carry any longer. Whether we’re dealing with trauma, addiction, PTSD, and/or serious health issues, we have the right to live to our fullest. The suffering many of us have been through can be the inspiration to step into hope; hope as a path to develop new ways of living that birth meaning, connection, and self-love. Getting there means we start to ask difficult questions about our life, our feelings, our conditions, and our history.
The inner work we do affects all our relationships. It moves through us, and our actions, into the communities around us.

Community
Community change is a process for engaging in identifying, analyzing, and addressing social issues in our shared past, present, and future living environments to help us foster, uncover, and express our most healthy selves in connection with other people, animals, and nature.
Systems
Every system is bounded by space and time, influenced by its environment, defined by its structure and purpose, and expressed through its functioning. Changing our individual or collective system begins with the awareness of what is happening with us and our system: family, friends, lifestyle, beliefs, diet, exercise, et...
