(Part of) The Problem:
Searching for happiness in the wrong places due to disconnection, a lack of understanding of who we really are, and the ultimate purpose of life, resulting in subtly or overtly exploiting ourselves, other beings and the planet.

what we do
The whole project started with asking how we can become better servants of God through these two questions:
1) What are trusted, time-tested ways I can transform the tendency I have to subtly or overtly exploit myself, those around me, and Mother Nature?
2) What would the world look and feel like if we used ancient practices and perspectives to shift the mode of being from individualism, consumerism, and exploitation to collectivism, devotional service, and regenerative stewardship?
Why do we do what we do? Because remembering and living our true purpose as joyful yet fiercely compassionate servants of the servant's servant of God -- well, it's the natural thing to do. It's pleasing to the eternal Cause of all causes, the infinite Reservoir of love and bliss, the inconceivable One known in different places by different names . . . who transcends even religion itself. (people who actually care about you, don't want anything from you, and want to help you deepen your faith).
Beginning within our own bodies, minds, hearts, and relationships, and with the guidance of trusted teachers and teachings from various sacred Indigenous wisdom lineages centered around humility, love, and devotional service, we are ready to take radical personal accountability and practical action to become servants of God . . . are you?
At Practices & Perspectives, we honor tradition while embracing the realities of modern life. Rooted in lineage and guided by integrity, our work integrates ancient wisdom with contemporary insight to cultivate balance, clarity, and a deeper connection between you and your faith.
We believe the root cause of all individual and collective suffering is not acknowledging, remembering, and attempting to serve Divinity. We are particularly focused at the intersection of God Consciousness, Human Rights, and Environmental Rights . . . venturing into territory typically left outside of churches, yoga studios, and mainstream sustainability discourse, while still honoring and practicing time-tested tradition. From sectarianism and religious violence, to misogyny and greenwashing, we find fertile soil in places most shy away from.
We welcome the full spectrum and uniqueness of the human experience, including the parts of ourselves and society we may not be proud of. Let's lean on time-tested sacred Indigenous wisdom to understand and transform the tendencies we have to subtly and overtly exploit ourselves, other beings, and the planet.
Through education, mentorship, and shared reflection, we support healing and growth for individuals, relationships, and the collective — nurturing well-being that ripples outward to the wider world. Let's move from me to we, together :)
We value accessibility and no one is turned away due to lack of funds.
Let us do the thousands of hours of curatorial research and synthesis for you. Our approach? Direct interviews with experts and analysis of peer-reviewed sources, such as ancient scripture and oral traditions from various religions, cultures, and geographies.
We make the practices and perspectives relevant and practical so you can easily apply the ancient wisdom in your unique life.
