OUR EMBLEM

SurThrival is a culture that supports each person’s journey towards total personal development. We have reflected this idea in our emblem, which depicts three interconnected spheres, each one representing one of the neuro-centers of the human body.
Science has now confirmed what many ancient cultures have always understood, the fact that there are not one but three “brain” centers in our bodies, one in our cranium, one in our heart and one in our intestine.
Our emblem shows each of these three neuro-centers connected by a central column – just the way our spinal cord connects the brain, heart and gut – and all of this is surrounded by a Golden and Silver aura representing the embrace of the natural polar opposites that exist within all things. For us, this is a symbol of the balanced and fully realized human.
