We’ve had a breakthrough!

Hand to Hand will be able to remain in our current home for the next two years, and we now have a path toward a future space at the East Bay Meditation Center.

This is an incredible step forward for our community—but it also comes with new financial commitments, including increased rent, building a new training floor, moving costs, and scholarship support.

Thanks to this community, we’ve already raised over $14,000 toward our $46,000 goal.

We’re deeply grateful—and we’re still building.
