Our Mission
The Embodiment Arts Collective is a site of wellness and resilience in a changing San Francisco, dedicated to keeping the vibrant heart of our city alive. We are a multidisciplinary healing arts space, with an inclusive social justice focus. We especially love those who feel themselves to be outsiders. We honor our ancestors and our teachers, and lean on them to help heal the wounds that we and our clients face.
Our mission is to become free, well and skillful humans, so that we may guide our clients to freedom and wellness, through our own lived examples of embodied healing.
Collectively, we become skilled as humans through conscious communal practice. Together, we learn to take exquisite care of our hearts, minds, bodies, relationships and Earth. We teach each other to make choices that support our well-being in all ways. We support each other to create lives that are intimate, colorful, kind, open-hearted with excellent boundaries, prosperous, and nourishing. We create the world we want to live in: through this collective, we build a vital culture that is tender yet powerful, playful and pleasure-honoring, and shamelessly sparkles.
We will feel satisfied that we have succeeded in our mission, when we and our clients consistently feel worthy of love, joy, pleasure, health, and abundance.
