Meet Our Core Faculty

The Hive is formed by facilitators asking: What are the resources that lie within our vast lineages, traditions, and modalities of healing, and how can we place them in service of the common good? Our Core Faculty are our leaders in facilitation, bringing forth their unique expertise and gifts to form a diverse team that inspires personal transformation and fuels collective change.

Our Core Faculty are guided by:

  • Revolutionary Love as demonstrated in the inner life, in relationships, and movements of radical social transformation.

  • Contemplative traditions spanning modern mindfulness teaching, earth-based traditions, contemplative Christianity, engaged Buddhism, embodiment, as well as trauma-informed work and creative expression.

  • Our birthright to be agents of loving change in the world. Loving-change is not just an aspiration, but a fundamental capacity within individuals and the collective to be tapped into. Hive faculty accept the responsibility for facilitating practices that instill a deep sense of agency and hope, resourcing individuals and communities to be agents of loving-change in the world.
