FOUNDER
Alexandra Burgess
It Was Through The Liberating Hope Of Art And Movement That Ali Found Her Medium Of Catharsis.
Every movement, every dance, was a step toward shedding years of guilt and shame, revealing the superpower she never knew she had: her eternal child and her humanity. While life dealt Ali the challenging hand of diabetes at the age of 10, her spirit remains resilient. Today, she stands proud with degrees in Theology and Psychology, a rich 14-year history in fitness, advertisement sales, recruiting for M&A, Accounting, Technology and 5 years at Google. Ali’s insights from philosophers like Emanuel Levinas and Carl Jung are seen through-out her work. Her journey has taken her from boardrooms with Google’s C-level executives to the free-spirited gatherings at Burning Man. Through it all, she’s made a poignant observation: people who embrace movement, curiosity, creation, and play radiate an undeniable vitality
