Mission

Our mission is to build the capacity of people to become more self-aware and self-directed, resulting in sustainable positive transformation.

Vision

A mindset exists within our community whereby self empowerment and self love evolves into optimal community health, and a culture of sharing.

Our programs, services, and initiatives are aimed at developing this mindset, to improve the lives of not only the individual, but their families, and their communities.

Foundation and Beliefs

We believe change occurs on three levels: consciousness, behavior, and structure.

Based on our belief that every individual has a "higher self" that strives to enhance and progress their life situation, we consider it crucial to connect with other like-minded individuals and groups after awakening this inner potential. This helps sustain growth and development.

Our Team

Behind every transformation is a team committed to empowerment. At Village-Connect, our people are the heart of our mission—to build the capacity of individuals to become more self-aware and self-directed. Since 2009, our dedicated staff, facilitators, and community leaders have worked collaboratively across the San Francisco Bay Area to create lasting, positive change.

Together, we are transforming lives and empowering communities.

OUR FOUNDATION & BELIEFS

To build the capacity of people to become more self-aware and self-directed resulting in sustainable positive transformation for all.

We believe change occurs on three levels: consciousness, behavior, and structure.

Our programs, services, and initiatives are rooted in a belief that within every person there exists a

"higher self" that innately seeks to improve and expand one's life circumstance.

Once this "higher self" has been awakened, being connected with an association of like-minded individuals and

groups become optimal to sustaining growth & development.
