How our logo tells our story
The logo we created embodies the essence of our mission and the values that guide our journey. It is our representation of a celestial butterfly known as the “galactic butterfly” and stands as a proud emblem of transformation and the intricate dance of the cosmos.
The butterfly, a creature of metamorphosis, mirrors the endless transformations of our planet and beyond, highlighting the beauty and resilience inherent in change. Its spiral wings, reminiscent of a galaxy, weave a powerful metaphor for life’s journey.
Our logo symbolizes the cyclical nature of the universe—emphasizing renewal, growth, and the eternal cycle of life and death. It represents a celestial journey, reminding us that we are part of a larger, interconnected cosmos. It connects us with our ancestors, serving as a beacon of their guidance through the ages, and acts as a symbol of hope and positivity, inspiring a forward-looking perspective imbued with optimism.
Beyond its cosmic significance, our logo embodies ancient wisdom through its design and proportions. It reflects the principle “as above, so below,” suggesting that the macrocosm is mirrored in the microcosm, and introduces the concept of yin and yang, highlighting the balance and interdependence within the universe.
