Innovators
100% consent is not just an idea but a way of being for this core group of the BRM team. Known as the “N” group (kNowledge group), this team proposes the direction, strategy and activities of the movement.
Each of these individuals is a Social Artivist. Having deeply reflected on themselves as well as the world around them, each of them has crafted a unique pathway towards using their gifts to contribute to the society, while honouring their life needs.
