AS ONE MAKES THEIR WAY…
…they come to witness the world through the eyes of more & more people. What one thinks, feels & comes to hold as truths are a result of the paths crossed in their life. It is through these junctions that one begins to ask questions, seek meaning, unearth passions & develop a dynamic perspective. This is the human experience & it is alive; existing both on a personal & global level.
TO VIEW AN INDIVIDUAL EXPERIENCE AS PART OF THE WORLD & THE WORLD’S CONDITION AS ONE'S OWN…
…interconnectedness becomes clear & deeply rooted. The recognition of interdependence allows humans to act in the name of compassion, mutual respect & goodwill.

…with consideration of & progress for all. Marked by collective efforts fueled by science, nature, open-mindedness & a return to our roots, B.a.R.E. seeks to recall that we are more alike than we are different & that we all share a common home.
“YEARS AGO I RECOGNIZED MY KINSHIP WITH ALL LIVING BEINGS, AND I MADE UP MY MIND THEN THAT I WAS NOT ONE BIT BETTER THAN THE MEANEST ON EARTH. I SAID THEN, AND I SAY NOW, THAT WHILE THERE IS A LOWER CLASS, I AM IN IT; AND WHILE THERE IS A CRIMINAL ELEMENT, I AM OF IT; AND WHILE THERE IS A SOUL IN PRISON, I AM NOT FREE.”
