“Naropa offers a home for those who aren’t willing to conform to convention—the mystic, the healer, the prophet, the rebel, the artist, the revolutionary, the oddbalI—those who are incredible contributors to the evolution of society and of our planet. Naropa faculty and students are all of these things. It’s what makes Naropa what it is.”
