Meditation Coalition has grown from many roots and aspires to:

CULTIVATE

balance, equality and freedom from the standard hierarchical and patriarchal ideology that often dominates the way we move through the world.

WAKE UP

to all of the ways that racism disables equity.

HONOR

original feminist values of equality and shared power for all genders and expressions.

PRACTICE

in spaces that provide accessibility for those that are living with disabilities and limitation.
