Seeking a Future of Hózhó
What is “hózhó”? Hozho defines the essence of Navajo (or Diné) philosophy. It encompasses beauty, order, and harmony, and expresses the idea of striving for balance. A future with Hozho is the vision for our work in Rock Point and we invite all visitors, donors, congregants, and more to join us on this journey.
