Jongu Platform

From Humans to Humans: Unfolding Human Potential Through Secure Attachment and Creative Exploration

Platform Overview

A comprehensive vision for secure attachment, growth, and connection

The Journey of Jongu

In the land of the blind, the one-eyed person is king. But what if instead of kings, we sought companions? What if the journey toward vision was one we undertook together, each offering our unique perspective to illuminate the path?

Jongu exists as a space where authentic human potential can unfold through secure attachment. Built on principles from Marriage and Family Therapy, Nonviolent Communication, and creative expression, we're cultivating a community dedicated to the continuous process of becoming.

Inspired by Jongo, a circular dance and musical tradition brought to Brazil by enslaved Africans, Jongu creates a dynamic interplay between personal expression and community response. The circle maintains the rhythm and energy, while individuals contribute their unique movements and interpretations.
