Austin Health Commons is a team of dedicated volunteers in Austin, Texas who are fully committed to transforming our collective culture with a new paradigm shift to conscious health care and affordable access for everyone to holistic healthcare.

We are structured as a community non-profit, and we are disrupting the healthcare system as we know it by shifting ownership of healthcare away from profit-centric corporations and back to communities to create commonwealth through health.

With the launch of our Karisha Community Center in Central East Austin, we will lead the movement away from sick care to wellness care; care designed to promote proactive wellness lifestyles and also designed end the economic segregation of health care.

Our motto is a simple one: Bridging Food, Medicine, and Health, for All.

In 2017, we gathered to develop the vision and foundation of Austin Health Commons, and we decided our community trust will own our prototype center, Karisha Community.

This October, we will gather hundreds of Austinites from diverse backgrounds for a weekend of facilitated conversations led by Dr. Gail Christopher, a former Senior Advisor at the Kellogg Foundation. We will share stories of how we are all personally affected by social structures, and how we will create a better world through Truth… Racial Healing… and Transformation.

By funding this campaign, your donation goes toward making sure this conference is free and open to all, with childcare, a nourishing meal, and Spanish interpretation.

Anything we raise above our $10,000 goal will serve as seed funding for the Austin Health Commons to lead the paradigm shift to Conscious Health Care and community health. Your contribution is tax deductible

Truth, Racial Healing, and Transformation is a new way to connect, grow, and elevate our consciousness. We invite you to join us.

More about Truth, Racial Healing, Transformation
TRUTH
Some of us experience collective trauma, and others of us, collective amnesia. We live in a country that was built on the foundation of slavery and genocide, but yet the governing doctrine of this nation begins with the statement “We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal”

These contradictions in our country’s beginnings created a spiritual toxicity that continues to linger over us all more than two centuries later. We’ve carried forward concepts of superiority based on race, gender, sexuality, economic status, age, and ethnicity that pervade our psyche and keep us separate — from ourselves, from one other, and from our common well-being. Austin Health Commons is leading the effort to dismantle this hierarchy of human value, beginning with sharing our truths.

HEALING
Sharing our stories helps us understand one another. That helps us connect to each other, to learn from each other, and to feel understood. That is the essence of healing.

TRANSFORMATION
When we’ve shared of ourselves, when we’ve connected, when we’ve risen above anger, resentment and blame, and we gain awareness with healing intentions, that is transformative.

Are you ready to join with us in co-creating this new exciting reality!? Austin is the best at so many things. We are a rising star and a place folks want to be, but we do have wounds that need to heal. We need your help to gather as many people as possible to share truths, heal, and transform our city and build a replicable model for other communities around the globe, one place at a time.
