Our name is representative of the philosophy eloquently described by Desmond Tutu in recognition that “a person is a person through other persons,” “my humanity is… inextricably bound up in what is yours,” and “what dehumanizes you inexorably dehumanizes me.”  Just as “Ubuntu” describes our inter-connectedness, Living Ubuntu seeks to support the common good while also addressing factors that detract from that.

We want a world where

• people live in their bodies
• have fulfilling, healthy relationships
• recognize the interconnectedness of all human beings
• and, consider growth and recovery as just a normal part of living a healthy, vibrant life.

Our mission

Living Ubuntu is a non-profit organization with a focus on mind-body issues, specifically health and well-being, and the effects of stress, trauma and compassion fatigue. We seek to increase awareness of the global and local impact of these issues, build a sense of community, and encourage living a more fully embodied life.
