Project OM
Yoga For Shared Hope
May I be at peace. May my heart remain open. May I know the beauty of my own true nature. May I be healed. May I be a source of healing in the world.
~ Tibetan Prayer
My mission is a simple one – to help all of us heal, so we may be a source of healing in this world. Rediscovering hope and happiness through conscious transformation in ourselves and the world we are a part of.
Project OM was started to support Shared Hope International – a nonprofit organization dedicated to rescuing, sheltering, healing, and supporting women who have been victimized by sex and drug trafficking in various parts of the world.
Due to the stigma attached to their troubled pasts, some of these victims can never reintegrate back into their societies and require sheltering for the rest of their lives. Shared Hope provides an incredible array of services – very deserving of the support through Project OM.

ABOUT SHARED HOPE INTERNATIONAL
Shared Hope International works to increase awareness of sexual slavery to protect women and children from further victimization, rescuing victims out of sexual slavery, and building local communities/shelters that heal and empower rescued victims. Founded by fomer U.S. congresswoman Linda Smith, Shared Hope International provides aid around the globe, including the United States.
Shared Hope International operates with three action oriented imperatives - Prevent, Rescue and Restore, and Bring Justice.
An excerpt from their mission statement:
"We are persistent in using every means possible to alert the vulnerable to dangers that accompany the culture of tolerance in which we live. Shared Hope partners with local organizations to offer victims of the sex trade safe shelter, therapy, spiritual and physical healing, education and vocational training. We are dedicated to transforming policy and legislation so the laws and practices of our society reflect real concern for just treatment for victims and for those that prey upon them.
It is difficult work, but we believe this is an issue very close to the heart of God. We strive to reflect His view of the preciousness of every person. We remind ourselves that it is always has been – and still is – about “one life at a time.”
