James Vaughn, Founding Executive Director
James began studying Western & Eastern Bodywork, and Chinese Medicine at the Acupressure Institute when he was 21; and began his professional practice in 1995.
In 2005, after seeing that 99% of people can't afford to get Therapeutic Bodywork 90-min/week or more to access its full benefits, and knowing how that alone would dramatically improve people's lives -and society- he began teaching couples, friends, and family how to do it for each other, so everyone can get it as often as they need from people they know, for free.
In January 2024, James conceived his revolutionary program for fostering safe, healthy, thriving communities that exponentially accelerate social and scientific progress towards a peaceful, sustainable, global civilization. Learn about it and join the program > HERE.

Triskelion
This is a variation of the ancient Celtic symbol called the Triskelion.
This symbol is believed to represent multiple trinities, such as the three Celtic worlds -the Spiritual, the Present, and Celestial Worlds.
It also represents a tale of forward motion to reach understanding.

Trinities like this are found all over the ancient world. For example...
.png "Wheel of Enjoyment")
The Triple Yin Yang, aka the Wheel of Enjoyment, symbolizes the “The Three Jewels” of:
Buddha (realization of reality's true nature)
Dharma (eternal, inherent nature of reality, governing right behavior and social order by cosmic law)
Sangha (Buddhist Community)
These overcome "The Three Poisons" of Ignorance, Desire, and Aversion.
With Vaughn Health, the Triskelion also represents Body (Biology), Mind (Psychology), and Spirit (Creativity & Purpose), which are core elements of ARC.
