Smt. Jayashree Vyasarajan Arasu, Ed.D. (Educational Leadership)
Plymouth State University | Director @Inner Companion Foundation | Community builder @Recenter Intentional Community
Of the many roles life has shown me to play, right now I focus on being an unschooling parent, community builder, and a social enterprise owner.
My work is centered around building a community of individuals and families who pursue alternative means of learning, earning, and living. Learning to have honorable relationships, nourishing body, soul and mind in wholesome way, practicing loving gratitude, gaining deep knowledge, and engaging in meaningful expressions, form the core of our offerings.
I enjoy creating new recipes, dancing, creating mandalas, hosting circles for and with women, and learning from my children the purpose of life. You can connect with me on LinkedIn.

Founder Chef @Cafe Recenter | Director @Inner Companion Foundation
While I pursued multiple career pathways, I was looking for something I was deeply passionate about which would also become my livelihood. My love for food, and goal to lead a healthy lifestyle led me to creating a one-of-a-kind eatery where families would feel comfortable and excited to eat in. I run Cafe Recenter, a home-style Cafe in Tiruvannamalai, which aims to offer diverse, nutritious, vegetarian food for all members in the family. I create recipes that blend the local ingredients with global tastes. We aspire to offer an array of choices to those who are on the path towards conscious eating, including offering Vegan, Gluten free, processed food free dishes at an affordable price for an upper middle class family.
Along with my wife, I co-created the Inner Companion Foundation to combine my interest in working with families on education, nutrition, and holistic wellbeing.
I value freedom, family, inclusivity, and fun. I enjoy playing badminton, hiking, and befriending people from other cultures. You can connect with me here.
