The Principle of Ayni

“Ayni” is the principle of living in reciprocal and harmonious relationship with all of Life.

Living in Ayni is a very important principle at Luminous Warrior, from the paper we buy to the way we get to work, we strive to be in reciprocal, mutually benefiting and harmonious relationship with our Earth. We acknowledge that everything has life and light, from the stones, to plants, furniture, animals, plants, human and all of our natural world. Ayni also means that we take responsibility for our actions for 7 generations to come.

We’d like to thank those of you who have helped us get on the map. Those who saw our vision, who felt our mission, and who shared in creating our dream. There are too many of you to mention one by one. Yet, please know that we are in deep gratitude to all of you… our supporters, our members, our families, our friends, our fellow instructors, all the people who work with us, their families, and the people who work for them, our ancestors, and of course the wonderful world of Energy and Spirit, including our Earth. Our intention is to live in reciprocal, harmonious relationship with all of you, as we all continue to give, receive and share in our visions for the World.
