The logo represents the bringing together of the signals of head, heart and body. The trinity is also reflected by the Buddha when he speaks about purifying body, speech and mind. The logo expresses the dynamics of the trinity, that essentially comes together and reaches wholeness in a central focal point. It symbolises the pursuit of congruence, tranquility, happiness and a higher purpose.
