Why the name Monarch?
Monarch butterflies may appear fragile, yet they undergo remarkable evolution in their lifetimes and migrate en masse for thousands of miles each year. Healing requires the same characteristics: growth, resilience, and community, with each step building upon the last.
“And the time came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.”
– Anaïs Nin
