Our Story
Conscious Campus provides inspiring programs that build social and cultural awareness, foster community and promote acceptance and respect. We are a family-run business, based in the woodlands of Connecticut. Greg Bura and Rhei C Gordon started the business 10 years ago, and many of our roster members have been with us from the beginning.
Greg spent 15 years developing musical talent before turning to his attention to social and environmental justice and bringing together people seeking a more peaceful and equitable world. His passion for activism and community-building shapes the deep diversity of inspiring speakers. Rhei C worked for 20 years in mind-body fitness and for 9 years as an advocate for victims of domestic violence, serving as a crisis counselor; often working closely with law enforcement officials. She has led self-care and mindfulness learning groups and now offers such programs at Conscious Campus.
Both Greg and Rhei C are music lovers and wild dancers. Yes, wild dancers. They met as musicians at an event Greg was promoting. Building connections being Greg’s thing, he soon became tour-manager for Rhei C’s band. Eventually the friends would marry and become life-long business and parenting partners. “We feel blessed that as our business has grown, so has our love,” Greg says.
“The love we foster in our home and business extends into all our interactions and programs. Building community through experiences that build connections that can transform lives is incredibly rewarding.”
