The Virtual Island
Some of what we carry can only be met together — and was never meant to be carried alone. The Virtual Island is where that meeting happens. Across screens and time zones, the community gathers in real time for the practices that help weave communities together.
The Origin Story of The Virtual Island
The Virtual Island is a recent addition to our ecosystem. Working with hundreds of folks on an individual basis, the recurring theme of isolation, feeling "too much", and the lack of spaces for deep and real connection was an emerging pattern that could not be denied. The Virtual Island is our answer to this void; a place for the highly sensitive, the deep feelers, the artists, the misfits, or those that long for places that touch the deep waters and spaces that revere the depth of the human experience.
