Mosaic seeks to create cross-cultural alliances, mentoring relationships and social connections built upon personal trust and commitment to bridging unhealthy divisions in contemporary communities.

The process of finding, fitting and weaving together divergent, yet necessary pieces involves making new social fabrics from existing ethnic, spiritual, psychological and political threads.

Mosaic means putting essential pieces together; forming a whole from separate, divided, even estranged parts. Each project begins with the idea that the necessary pieces can be found, even if that means looking in troublesome or unexpected places

Mosaic events draw inspiration from the traditions of many cultures and incorporate knowledge learned in the trenches of contemporary community work. The 'genius' of the situation is sought whether it be that of an individual, an organization or a community. Revealing the 'resident genius' and unique spirit becomes a key to understanding problems and fitting the pieces together in new ways.

Through this process, personal stories, the history of the group and important goals find appropriate places within the shape of a story which all can see, contribute to and learn from.
