Our Community Values
Care
We show up and communicate from our hearts with kindness, honesty, curiosity, and empathy while honoring each other’s cultures, contributions, and identities.
Interconnectedness
We recognize our interconnectedness with all living beings and the land while moving to dismantle systems of injustice. We value relationships over competition and recognize our many resources (spiritual, emotional, cultural, social, capital) which we share within our capacity, especially with those who have less access.
Accountability
We understand our actions have an impact on others and seek to repair or find closure when there is harm. We are accountable to our own needs and communicate them. We co-create a culture of consent and respect of boundaries.
