Living ACL

Feelings of isolation, disconnection, and loneliness have been shown in numerous studies to negatively impact not only our mental health, but physical health as well! Living with ACL (Awareness, Courage and Love) as we practice them can help overcome these barriers to becoming your best self.

In January of 2015, Co-creator of Functional Analytic Psychotherapy, Dr. Mavis Tsai launched the Live with Awareness, Courage and Love meetup group in Seattle, Washington. The goal was simple: To respond to and begin healing the world-wide loneliness epidemic by bringing people together and teaching- by experiences- how to connect more fully with self and with others. The movement has expanded to over 66 groups around the globe lead by trained ACL Chapter Leaders and in 2018 became a Washington State nonprofit, Awareness, Courage and Love Global Project.
Two vital pieces of feedback we heard from participants again and again were:
This is such a great experience, can we have it more often?
This is a beautiful & safe space to explore the important aspects of life and being..but how can I really create that outside into my real life.
In answer, we have created the Living ACL App!
Here, you can experience ACL wherever and whenever you want.
We provide a rich variety of ACL experiences in the app, and also have challenges that help one practice ACL out in their own unique lives.
Some of the features available are:
*Weekly ACL Live events online
*Explore and discover your self in depth with gentleness and non-judgement
*Meditations
*Share your thoughts and feelings and Listen to others’
*Exercises for your Awareness, Courage and Love muscles
*Find ACL groups near you
*Sign up to train as an ACL Leader and Start your own group
*Practice taking ACL into your world experiences

Creating a safe place where you can explore and try different things is one our most sacred goals. We decided to create this app in ways that are different from many – if not most – apps.
There are no in-app purchases or hidden fees! We operate on a voluntary donation basis.
(so why does the app cost anything at all? We charge a small fee to download the app to deter bots and trolls. It is only one of the steps we are taking to protect people and their experience in the app. *Please contact us directly if the fee is an obstacle*)
You will never have ads pop up in the app.
This app is not linked to social media of any kind.
We do not track any unnecessary information about you or share/sell your data or information
