SAND
Vision
SAND (Science And Nonduality) is a community rooted in the fusion of timeless wisdom, cutting-edge science, and direct experience. We gather to contemplate and honor the intricate tapestry of beauty, complexity, pain, and enigmatic mystery that weaves the infinite cycles of existence. Guided by a spirit of exploration, we transcend narrow notions of ultimate truths and binary thinking, embracing our interconnectedness within the web of life.
At the crossroads of spiritual inquiry, social healing, scientific exploration, and artistic expression, we embark on an illuminating journey to unravel the depths of what it means to be human. Together, we strive to expand knowledge, deepen understanding, and co-create a world that is more interconnected, awakened, and compassionate.
SAND welcomes you to join this transformative convergence, where the wisdom of ages, the forefront of science, and the wonders of direct experience harmonize into a symphony of growth and discovery.

From Wounds to Wholeness
The Alchemy of Somatic Storytelling
A live online Community Gathering with Peter A. Levine, PhD. Trauma has a severe impact that extends far beyond the individual survivor. It ripples through families, communities, and generations in ways both seen and unseen. Yet there is a path forward — through courageously sharing our stories and tapping into the body’s innate wisdom. Whether a survivor, helper, healer, or passionate learner, here is a rare chance to connect, be inspired, and gain both personal and professional wisdom.
Welcome to the
SAND Community
Where we come together to explore beyond ultimate truths, binary thinking, and individual awakening while in deep reverence of the beauty, complexity, pain, and great mystery that weave the infinite cycles of existence.

The Wisdom of Trauma
Trauma is the invisible force that shapes our lives. It shapes the way we live, the way we love and the way we make sense of the world. It is the root of our deepest wounds. Dr. Maté gives us a new vision: a trauma-informed society in which parents, teachers, physicians, policy-makers and legal personnel are not concerned with fixing behaviors, making diagnoses, suppressing symptoms and judging, but seek instead to understand the sources from which troubling behaviors and diseases spring in the wounded human soul.
