Our Approach
To be rewritten, oppressive systems require holistic, intentional approaches. Rooted in feminist and anti-colonial theory, our systems’ solution takes into account the ways social injustices are interconnected.
Our Purpose
We are co-creating a world where social impact is a way of creating restorative healing at the individual and societal levels.
Community Agreements
We are mindful of how we are building our community. We understand that creating safe, empowering, and enjoyable space is a necessity to engage in dialogue that can involve emotional and at times uncomfortable topics. These iterative set of agreements that help us engage authentically and vulnerably.
Empathy and Critical Awareness
We lead with empathy by respecting everyone’s lived experiences, identities and perspectives and engaging from a place of curiosity and care. We are mindful of how this extends to the ways we each experience power and privilege and actively work to challenge the structures that create these dynamics within our space.
Collective Healing Through Inner Growth
We honor the interconnection between self care and collective care, understanding that we must attend to our individual needs in order to be able to show up for our community and recognizing that our inner healing, or lack thereof, may have an impact on others. We practice growth by embracing learning and discomfort, prioritizing transparency and accountability, and believing in our individual and collective capacity for change.
Safe and Accessible Spaces
We hold space for one another by making our spaces accessible and accommodating to all and practicing patience and presence. We prioritize safety and trust by respecting privacy and boundaries.
