Our founding story
Overlooking the Ganga in India,
I heard the story of Ganesha for the first time, how he was the remover of obstacles — both internally and externally. As I dove deeper into my yogic studies in Rishikesh, I connected deeply with the teachings of Ganesha in that moment: how playful they were, how devoted, how they were tasked with writing our story of humanity, how they inhabited an untraditional form, how they could identify as non-binary.
To me, they reflected the sacredness of being my authentic and unique self, which often is distorted into otherness.
Inspired, I wanted to bring their wisdom and energy to a space where we could all heal and find joy, as the complex humans we are. That’s why I started GaneshSpace: to heal, to find community and to find a path towards collective liberation, together — regardless of what identities we may hold.
I hope that GaneshSpace is of benefit to you and that their teachings may inspire you as well.
with love,
Kim
