You belong in wilder places.

Turn Off, Get Out, Stretch, Sweat and Connect.

Thanks for any belief you have in things Zoy-like. Such as “We ALL belong in wilder places, finding ourselves, together, outside.” For now, that work will continue to be moving forward under the auspices of these well-established organizations with whom we are close and who share our values: Sarett Nature Center, Present Pillars, Benton Harbor Community Development Corporation. You can find them

As Bruce Cockburn sings: “In the southland of the heart where night blooms perfume the breeze…where the saints go lazily…there is no question of degree… EVERYONE was ALWAYS free.” Our founder is lucky enough to be able to spend some time in that southland. Our fond and fervent hope is that you have that luxury as well. And if you don’t, if you can’t spend 90 minutes a day or 90 minutes a week, try to find 90 seconds today. Turn off your electronics. Get out. Stretch, sweat and connect with the planet, your peers and yourself, even if just for a few moments. Look at the sky. Be grateful. We are…for you. Just because, right now, we are not working on the institution that ZoY! is or might become does not mean we are not practicing ZoY!ness. We need company/community and we believe you do too, so reach out to each other or us. We would love to hear from you!
