Peter Moore
President

Peter Moore is the co-founder and current Business Director of Breitenbush Hot Springs Retreat & Conference Center. He is also co-founder and president of the board of the non-profit Breitenbush Eco Fund whose principal project is the Holistic Centers Network.

“I believe there is an evolutionary impulse occurring in human populations across our world, regardless of economic, political or cultural background. This impulse is holistic in nature and trends toward sustainability. As imperfect as our species is, we are evolving, and the evolutionary trajectory is towards ethical, principle-based consciousness.

Holistic centers are places where people come to reframe their life experience in a new lens, creating a refreshed perspective. From this “retreat”, they can “advance” back into their known world using the insights and tools gained during their time at the holistic center. Thousands of holistic centers are influencing millions of peoples’ lives.”

I feel so touched by the personal connections and conversations, of people wanting to know more. The power of this group is emanating out. What an influence we can have on our global society. Here at the Gathering we are a microcosm of our home centers.

Jim Curley
Greenshire Arts Consortium

This gathering has been INCREDIBLE. As a small center based way out in Yosemite National Park, I really feel folded into the greater network. This feels so vital. Thank you for creating this!
