Our StoryWe're beginning a new chapter of U.S. History, one where we surrender the paternalistic, righteous and exploitative for the curious, unifying and empowering.
Unfortunately, we are segregated in just about every way - racially, generationally, economically, politically and geographically. For most of us, the only place we connect across these divides is at work. It hurts us when we don't feel like we belong at work. It hurts us when don't feel a connection to our purpose. It feels good when we activate our purpose, transcend our differences, and work together towards a common cause. This video shows us that when we have a shared purpose and build connections across differences, anything is possible. Just The Facts Unity Lab launched in 2020 to create cultures of purpose and belonging, and in the process, heal the great divides in our nation. Leveraging the latest research and best practices in purpose activation, social learning, psychology and neuroscience, we serve organizations by bringing their diverse people together, to activate purpose and belonging, transcend perceived boundaries, build friendships and find common cause. Unity for the World Although, Unity Lab is primarily focused on the United States, we support all organizations committed purpose and belonging. |

Bison Medicine
The medicine (or energy) of the bison elicits something deep in the human soul. It connects us to the frontier, the open range, rushing rivers, majestic peaks, the rising sun and a starry sky. It calls us into relationship with wild nature, play, community and adventure. It beckons us to be grateful for natural beauty and summons us to care for all that is sacred. Like citizenship, bison medicine is active and fierce:
- Unlike cattle, bison run straight into an approaching storm to move through it quickly - an apt metaphor for the hard truths we must swallow as a nation and the necessary conversations we must have to move through this storm.
- Bison care for the most vulnerable, by placing them in the center of the herd.
- Through their play, wallowing and grazing, they play a vital role in ecological resilience and diversity.
- Bison are fiercely protective of themselves and their community, leveraging their incredible strength, acceleration and speed (up to 40 mph) to ward off threats.

The United States is a country of immigrants and their offspring. Diversity isn't an idea or an aspiration, its a fact. It's genesis and manna. It's who we are, so we celebrate and include everyone who calls the United States of America, or Turtle Island, home. All shapes, sizes, and colors are welcome here. |
