About Us

Mission Statement

It is Trailhead Perspectives’ mission to help members of our community discover the inherent and infinite presence of love and strength within each of us so that we can make life choices that support our individual and collective well-being.

Toward that end, Trailhead Perspectives strives to help people become aware of the role media and social groups can have in shaping our self-image; how that image affects the choices we make; and how those choices impact the planet, ourselves and others.
