Dear Friend,

Coming out of the last few years, my colleagues and I went into discernment about the service that is distinctively ours in this world that is unfolding — so full of pain, so wild with promise. From that, our plans to create the Lab for the Art of Living emerged — mining our 20 years of content for new kinds of offerings that can nourish, orient, and accompany in this wild ride of a time to be alive. In this spirit, too, the spring season of On Being held a fresh exuberance and purposefulness that many have told us they heard and felt. Meanwhile, bringing humans together in physical space with live events feels newly precious, and so does an investment in video and live-streaming for those who can't join. 

Yet we are not alone on the landscape of media projects and nonprofits who need to create novel forms of support for the very foundation beneath our work.

Would you consider partnering in the vitality of the expanding On Being Project in a new way? Our friend Maria Popova says it daringly, beautifully, and she's given us permission to adapt her equation. Giving = loving. 

Any amount of love and sustenance you can give will be gratefully — indeed, gleefully — received. 

Thank you for considering this invitation, and for the part you already play in The On Being Project. Below are some options to begin.
