Sport and embodied spiritual practice have a powerful and unique ability
to connect people throughout the greater global community
thanks to the commonality of the experiences that are achieved
via physical pursuits and the integration of mind, body and spirit.
Sport and embodied spiritual practice empower individuals, bring together communities small and large,
and have the capacity not only to celebrate the vast diversity, an inclusion that exists in those communities,
but to help bring an end to oppression and begin the healing related thereto.
We appreciate the value of sport and embodied spiritual practice as deep, human experiences
that transcend the traditional notion of a simple game.
We also embrace the responsibility that goes along with the global platform afforded to sport--
a platform on which to raise awareness of the power, possibilities, and goodness of the human spirit.
We invite others throughout the world to join us in finding more ways to use sport and embodied spiritual practice
as true agents for change in our world
and to celebrate and appreciate the transformative power of love and forgiveness
as it is expressed through sport and embodied spiritual practice.
