Kindness Collective

Ara has spent her life devoted to studying, experiencing and teaching Movement, Psychology, Meditation and Applied Neuroscience. As an adopted Asian woman raised in Europe by American parents, she knows the friction of “belonging” and the beauty of a multicultural perspective. An innovator in the field of psychotherapy, yoga and wellness, Ara has designed programs that span the range of resiliency training for first responders and inner-city school educators, to holistic relationship and well being immersions for executive leaders in the domains of politics, finance and social impact. Ara’s experience has taught her that interpersonal evolution is the seed that sprouts cultural evolution. She is a professional who thinks outside the box and remembers that the only real box is the delta between imagination and action at the leadership level. Ara’s vision for The Kindness Collective is to grow into a thriving community where, through our shared human experience of love, life and loss, we learn, play and practice together - challenging ourselves to grow beyond our inherited systems and into the more beautiful world we know is possible.
