The pathway to Being, Becoming, and Belonging relies on the four pillars of Identity, Purpose, Community & Service to support you on your journey of discovery. it involves the alignment of body, mind, and soul with the environment, community, and cosmos. This holistic integration fosters a sense of wholeness and well-being, guiding you toward the realization of your authentic Self.

  1. Being always is, never becoming: experiencing a state of union with your higher and cosmic Self. This is the essence of f yoga—a profound state of presence where the individual expereinces cosmic consciousness.

  2. Becoming never is, always becoming : the process of individuation and self-discovery, learning to embrace your unique path

  3. Belonging is what we are seeking: understanding the interconnectedness of all things and remembering the oneness - Atman - Brahman is all there is.

Through guided practices, reflective self-inquiry, contemplation and experiential learning, Become YOU aims to cultivate inner awareness, deepen your understanding of yourself and empower authentic living.
