Jordan Foster

Born and raised in MA, Jordan had a seemingly normal life. His middle class family lived in a quiet suburban neighborhood. His childhood seemed mundane and usual on the surface, but underneath brimmed lots of hatred, anger and distrust. Drugs, trauma and unrest in the family shifted this young boy’s understanding of life. This shift was cemented when Jordan was sexually abused as a child. Coping with abuse led to addiction. Drugs to numb the pain begot more trauma and family problems. Issues led to more issues, then to rehab. Finding himself in San Francisco, the polar opposite of suburban Massachusetts, his eyes were opened. Here, he was exposed to the healing power of psychedelics and spirituality. He progressed through college, and at the end he roots of addiction and trauma took hold again. Upon graduation, Jordan was left with he, himself and I. Addiction went full force, and he found himself at another rehab in AZ. This is where the real shift in his life began.

Lorenia Foster

Basically an immigrant, Lorenia spent the beginning of her life in Mexico. She came from a single-mother household with a traditional Mexican background. As the oldest child, she by definition was forced to take on the role of caretaker for her younger brother. Worrying and overthinking became a necessity. In addition to growing up quickly, religion was a huge influence during her upbringing. The sum of religion and Mexican family culture led to a very verbal and psychologically abusive environment within the home. Having this environment during her childhood shaped all relationships moving forward. Unhealthy relationships led her down a path of depression, eating disorders and self-suppression. Ultimately, she found herself in a very unhealthy marriage. Being in that relationship became the push to free herself, which landed her in AZ. This is where the real shift in her life began.
