We (the Awareness, Courage & Love (ACL™) Global Project), and The Trueness Project are pleased to announce a partnership in support of the Grand Butterfly Gathering 2026, a global movement dedicated to unity, transformation, purpose, and peace.

Both organizations share a belief that meaningful change begins within individuals and expands outward into families, communities, and the world.

At a time when division and disconnection are increasingly common, we are committed to creating experiences that foster human connection, authenticity, compassion, and collective well-being.

As part of this partnership, ACL™ Global ACL Founder Dr. Mavis Tsai will join the Grand Butterfly Gathering in person in Jackson Hole, Wyoming on June 27, 2026. ACL™ will also host a special international gathering, Butterflies Without Borders, bringing together participants from multiple countries to reflect on transformation, connection, and the kind of world we wish to create together.

Butterflies symbolize the possibility of change. Through this collaboration, we invite people everywhere to remember that each of us has a role to play in building a more connected, compassionate, and peaceful world.

Is life asking something more of you?

If that question stirs something in you, you're not alone — and you're not lost. You might just be listening.

So many of us carry a quiet ache beneath the surface. Not dissatisfaction exactly, but a feeling that something more is being asked of us. More truth. More courage. More love.

Dr. Mavis Tsai, founder of the ACL Global Project, has felt it too — and she's spent years sitting with people around the world who feel the same way. Her reflections on purpose, loneliness, and authentic living are woven into her chapter in Wings of Purpose, a newly released anthology of 21 voices on resilience, transformation, and hope.

If you're standing at a crossroads, rebuilding after loss, or simply feeling called to something deeper, this book was written for you- you can learn more about Wings of Purpose here: https://www.amazon.com/Wings-Purpose-Vision-Intention-Success-ebook/dp/B0GYL381CS/

Your body often notices what your mind is trying to explain away. That tightness. That quiet dread. That sense of walking on eggshells.

Many of us learned to dismiss these signals.
To second-guess ourselves.
To tell ourselves we are “too sensitive,” “overreacting,” or imagining things.

But our nervous systems are wise.
Sometimes our bodies recognize strain, disconnection, or unsafety before we can fully put words to it.

Learning to trust your inner signals — pausing and listening inwardly, can be a powerful act of self-trust and self-respect.

Is there something in your life right now that your body has been trying to tell you?

You don't have to solve it. Just — notice.

Take a moment today to check in with yourself. Not your to-do list. Not what others need. Just — how are you, really?

What if you could feel genuinely seen by a stranger in five minutes?

Not through small talk. Not through performance. But through one honest question, asked with care and someone actually listening.

That's what Brief Heart Connections is.

Tomorrow, Dr. Mavis Tsai, along with co-leaders, Daniel Campos and Sandra Mendoza, are hosting a one-hour gathering of 3–4 rounds of five-minute deep conversations, guided by research-validated questions designed to generate real closeness—fast.

No agenda.

No pressure.

Just people from around the world, willing to go a little deeper than usual.

[Brief Heart Connections] Dip Your Toes into Deep Conversations

🗓 Tomorrow — Wednesday, May 27 ⏰ 4:00–5:00pm PST | Zoom Livestream 🌍 All languages welcome. Captions available in your chosen language.

The skills you practice here—open-hearted listening, honest sharing, asking brave questions—don't stay in the room. They ripple into every conversation you have after.

Have you been craving deeper conversations… the kind where you feel truly seen and heard?

Not small talk.
Not performing.
Not staying on the surface.

We invite you to dip your toes into deep conversations at our upcoming Brief Heart Connections gathering.

In just one hour, you’ll experience 3–4 guided rounds of meaningful conversation in a warm, supportive space designed to help you move beyond surface-level interactions and into authentic connection.

This event will be co-led by Dr. Mavis Tsai, co-creator of Functional Analytic Psychotherapy and Daniel Campos.

Together, they will guide you through structured, research-informed prompts that make vulnerability feel safe, accessible, and deeply human.

Event Details:
Wednesday, May 27
4:00–5:00pm PST

No one taught most of us that 'no' could be an act of love.

But it can be.

Many of us grew up learning, in ways spoken and unspoken, that love meant saying yes. That being needed meant being valued. That avoiding conflict was more important than being honest about what we truly felt.

So "no" became tangled with guilt, fear, and the worry of disappointing others.

But this month we’re exploring something different:

A boundary rooted in honesty and care is not a wall. It's an act of integrity. It makes a relationship more real.

Is there something you've been saying yes to — out of fear, habit, or guilt — that may need a more honest answer?

Saying no can be one of the most loving things you do. Not just for yourself—but for the relationship.

For many of us, boundaries weren't modeled as care. They were framed as walls. As selfishness. As withdrawal.

This Sunday, we're gathering to unlearn that—together.

[Experiential Meeting] Honor Your Limits, Honor Your Life with Dr. Mavis Tsai & Andressa Secchi
🗓 Sunday, May 17 ⏰ 10:00–11:30am PST | Zoom Livestream 🌍 Live Spanish & Portuguese translation. Captions in 50+ languages.

This is a space to practice—not to perform. To explore what emotional safety looks like for you, in your own body, your own culture, your own relationships.

39 people have already said yes. We'd love for you to be there.

Most of us want to live with open hearts. But when we overlook our own limits, even our deepest love can quietly become depleted.

What if honoring our boundaries isn’t about closing off— but about protecting the very energy that allows connection to flourish?

This Sunday, join Dr. Mavis Tsai and Andressa Secchi for a live experiential gathering: Honor Your Limits, Honor Your Life

🗓 Sunday, May 17 ⏰ 10:00–11:30am PST | Zoom Livestream 🌍 Live Spanish & Portuguese translation. Captions in 50+ languages.

Together, we'll explore what it means to recognize your needs, respect your limits, and stay open-hearted—without abandoning yourself.

What is one limit you've been wanting to honor?

"You can love someone deeply and still need to protect your energy. These two truths can co-exist together."

Exhaustion doesn't mean you don't care.

It often means you care so much for others that you've stopped listening to yourself in the process.

Healthy boundaries aren't walls. They're not coldness or rejection.

They're the quiet practice of staying connected to yourself — so that what you offer others comes from a place of genuine fullness, not depletion.

This month we're exploring what it means to stay open-hearted without abandoning ourselves.

Where in your life might you need a little more of that right now?

If this resonates, you’re welcome to explore our community at livewithacl.org. It’s a space where people from around the world come together to practice deeper connection—with others and with themselves.

"What if the most loving thing you can do today… is let someone take care of you?"

Many of us were taught that being loving meant being endlessly available.

The one who listens. The one who holds. The one who holds it together.

And so we give. And give. And give.

Until somewhere along the way, we notice that we often feel depleted.

This month, we're sitting with a tender question:

In your close relationships — does care flow in both directions? And if not, what makes it difficult?

If it feels ok, sit with that question today. Notice what comes up. You may discover you need something too. 🤍
