We seek to [re]awaken KINDRED

Soul friends seek to safeguard each other’s uniqueness and nurture the growth of each other’s inner self. They seek to meet each other as whole people and help each other become whole people. Their love for each other translates into a desire that the other settle for nothing less than becoming all that he or she was intended to be. Soul friends become spiritual friends when they seek to help each other attend and respond to God. Sacred companions help us become more aware of the presence of the sacred.
— David G. Benner

Arkitekt is a return to an ancient knowing

Who can I share the deep things of my soul with? Who helps me birth myself?

We so often feel alone in our path, our process, and our pain, and as a result, we lose perspective.  

Arkitekt gives you the place to experience the truth that you are not alone.  

Arkitekt kindreds lean in to the tension of faith and doubt, truth and love, fight and surrender, reason and mystery.  We don't judge, we don't try to fix, we don't compare.     

Arkitekt is not individualized therapy or self-actualization as end game. It is a practice of learning how to sit with yourself and honor whatever comes up, and as you do this for yourself, you increase your capacity to do this for others.

We are an interconnected body; what you do for yourself, you do for all of life.   

Your freedom and aliveness ripple effect outwards to every person whose edges you touch, as well as the generations before you and those that will come after you.  

There is activism inherent in the work.
