The Hive: A Center for Contemplation, Art, and Action, is forming in Cincinnati, OH in 2016. We are a little like a "YMCA for mindfulness" and a way to form small communities of practice (groups of 5-12 who meet for several weeks to learn a practice). As a non-profit social enterprise, we hope you will see the value in this and become a sponsor or subscriber. Partner with us to bring spiritual health through community to Northside and the Tristate region. www.cincyhive.org

1. POSSIBILTY
people are seeking spiritual health
but cannot find trusting communities to learn with

2. BUSY BEES
Image:Wellcome Library, London
We are a busy society, obsessed with
demands, feedback, and output!
Which drains the spiritual health necessary to live
with imagination, compassion or generosity.
This leads to stress, burn out,
anger, and depression

3. WITHIN COMMUNITY
Mindfulness practiced with others can make it easier to
notice progress and overcome roadblocks.
Real, lasting transformation comes
through learning new habits.

BUSY BEES NEED A HIVE

The Hive is the place you come to to
overcome burnout and develop
spiritual health through community.

5. WHAT IS SPIRITUAL HEALTH?
Contemplation helps us dismiss distraction and
attachment long enough to hear our inner calling.
Art enables us to explore parts of life
that we often overlook.
Action is the courageous outcome of
rooted individuals expressing their callings.
