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.
