Consciousness, community and a wholistic recovery process.

Perry's path

  1. Newark

    Perry's thirst for knowledge led him to different culturally centered organizations, where his life was touched by a number of positive role models.

  2. The athlete

    His passion for sports, athletics and exercise became a way of life for him, and a lifestyle he maintains today.

  3. The officer

    Growing from all his experiences, Perry used his energy to serve the community of Newark, NJ as both a Newark police officer and juvenile detective.

Know Thy Self!

Focusing service on individuals who believe in the ancient African command, "Know Thy Self!" Our purpose is to promote a Practical Process of Recovery, Holistic Lifestyles, Stimulate the Thirst For Self Knowledge, Self-Consciousness, and Personal Development, in those who believe that learning and personal growth are a life long process.

In doing so we hope to unite conscious people, who are willing to step outside of their comfort zone, and partner with those who are willing to embrace our philosophy of developing the WHOLE PERSON!
