Who We Are

The Volcano Ubuntu Center is inspired by Michael Tellinger's UBUNTU way of life.  We support Peace and Harmony for all People.  
We are a small, yet mighty group of heart-based people 
Vision: Creating and nurturing a lifestyle that values the diversity of all life, centered in compassion and peaceful harmony with nature and Spirit.
Mission: To create harmony and unity in our community by expanding our consciousness through living in service to others through compassion, courage and peace.
This enables us to be of service,
share our experiences, and link with similar local and global efforts.
UBUNTU: Essential to the Xhosa-speaking people’s belief system and way of life is ubuntu expressed in the saying umntu ngumntu ngabantu translated as a person is a person because of other persons.
Ubuntu is a word existing in all black languages of South Africa, without an equivalent in any European language.
It is best summarized as a philosophy of life that encompasses brotherliness, togetherness, hospitality, solidarity
and mutual support of each other and the community within which one exists.
It is a kind of insurance, with a man giving as much as he can on one day in case he is in need on another.
It also means having sound moral values. The individual is a harmonious part of society,
but the society is nothing without the individual.     Tanya Barbe
