A core value of ours at Living Refuge is autonomy. Another is connection. In the spirit of balancing these fundamental components of our philosophy, our founder Dr. Davis has created a space of co-creation where providers communicate and collaborate, yet function independently. Some providers may offer services on site at Living Refuge, and others have cultivated their own healing spaces where Living Refuge clients can access services. What our collective members have in common is our shared belief that each of our clients has their own inner wisdom, and that it is our job to help others access that wisdom from a place of nonjudgment and compassion.
