A remembering and returning to Love.
This pillar is our foundation — The root of all wave-making.
The selfless act of using one’s time to make impactful change is, within itself, a loving act of kindness.

How can we make generosity and connection as present as the air we breathe?

For generations, we’ve believed that man is driven only by ruthless self-interest. But over the past decade, this idea has been increasingly challenged. New research from fields as diverse as political science, psychology, sociology and experimental economics is forcing us to rethink human actions and motivation.
