Stepping up Together: Week One

Stepping Up Together with our Chair, Chuck Joseph:

Is it just us, or did the year 2022 seem to disappear in a flash? As the days roll by and the New Year approaches, we’ve been reflecting on the past and dreaming about the future.  

The last few years have been a wild ride for many of us. Our mindfulness practices have anchored and guided us through every twist and turn, and we feel more passionate than ever about sharing our mission with the world. Never were sharing mindfulness practices and compassionate action more important. As we head into this bright new chapter we are feeling ready to step up...  

It is time for us to step up to be the change we wish to see in the world.  

It is time for us to step up to our mission of spreading mindfulness and compassionate action to ALL—regardless of income level, race, gender, sexual identity, etc. 

It is time for us to step up TOGETHER, join hands, and create a movement of positive change—because alone we are strong, but together we are stronger. 

Copper Beech is a community of dedicated staff, volunteers and participants bound together in our desire to make our world a better place for all. Our mission could not exist without YOU. In order to function optimally and continue making an impact in 2023, we need to raise $25,000 by December 31. Please step up with us and help us create a brighter world for all!

Step Up [phrasal verb]:
1. To take action where there is a need or opportunity for it.

2. To foster growth or development of an endeavor.
