Today, our world feels increasingly divided. Despite all the advances of modern life, something essential has been lost: Our sense of community Rates of loneliness, depression, addiction, and alienation continue to rise. Public institutions try to care for the vulnerable, but they can only do so much. But they don’t have to do it all, because the rest of the work belongs to the community. And community, at its heart, is about giving what we can to others, knowing that we are not all weak in the same places. When we offer our strengths, time, and attention, we hold each other up.

The Shining Light Project is a volunteer-led project offering simple but powerful workshops that help people see that they are necessary. And that when we come together, we heal the world and build the most abundant and beautiful future. Know that you have a gift, and whether you feel lost, or you feel INSPIRED, we’re here to support your path to be a light that shines in the world.

We will leave you with some photos of our wonderful volunteers and communities around the globe.
