Core Values & Frameworks.
Imaginative Practices
We world-build collective and alternative futures from a liminal space that holds all bodies as spiritually whole and filled with choice, making peace with the need to create meaning from all experiences, and hold the felt observations as powerful.
We see our imagination as a powerful tool for experimentation and spell casting, using imagination as it’s own language to helps us access the depths of our felt knowing.
We nurture, share, and protect our imagination as vital to our spirit.
We ask questions that are immediate instead of hypothetical to create small, actionable steps that are sensual in our bodies and invoke our abilities to live fully.
Critical Nuance
We grow relationships from a human perspective. We hold that being human is filled with complexity and contradictions and that a person’s felt reality is true and valuable even when it differs from ours.
We work to understand each other by asking thoughtful questions and exploring each other’s felt reality with openness.
We engage in conversations that practice harm reductive strategies and build relationships and communities based on collective needs.
We make peace that harm is an inevitable byproduct of being alive and that trying to avoid it is a perfectionistic approach to living in an inherently messy world.
Iteration & Revision
We accept that healing and spiritual-emotional journeys are states of being with no finish. We accept that there are no quick fixes to the complicated questions created by the modern world and hold the contradictions this creates.
We celebrate that people are capable of incredible growth and change and that we are living iterations and revisions of all our chaotic and tender parts, insecurities, and joys.
We build with the future in mind and accept that there are no definitive solutions.
We share into the container our collective stories—transforming knowledge as the world changes—and meeting everyone, in all their versions, powerfully with grace.
Emotional Hygiene
We show up vulnerable to hold the sacred and scary parts that sit in our bodies and spirit, trusting in the process, and naming our experiences as they comes up.
We build from a relationship-oriented practice holding our own emotional work and asking others to compassionately nurture us in the process.
We nurture the complexities that sit inside our emotional body, even the parts we can’t name, so that we can later hold the complexities of others, in their experiences and feelings, hopes and grievances.
We practice boundary-setting as an invitation and make no assumptions that a person should “know better.” We guide others through our emotional landscape so they can hold us as whole.
