Vision Statement
Tapestry is a group formed to build community, share experiences, and discuss issues. We embrace people of all races, ethnicities, religions, sexes, gender identities, sexualities, ages and socio-economic statuses. We aim to increase love, justice, compassion and understanding in the world we all share.
These challenging times hold great potential for inner and outer evolution. Having a safe space to connect with an open heart and mind supports positive individual and community growth.
We invite all residents of South Jersey who seek wholeness and meaningful interaction to come join us in creating a mindful, compassionate presence in South Jersey and beyond. Together, we can use our struggles for the betterment of ourselves and humanity.
