OUR VISION
CULTURAL HUMILITY — lifelong learning and humility
Respecting other cultures and ways of being through the practice of curiosity, inquiry, and deep listening; being open to learning and growing outside of our own narratives and stories; being willing to challenge our own biases and assumptions.RELATIONSHIP— we connect before we correct; we stay curious, not furious
Through meaningful relationship, conflict, difference, and disagreement is more likely to be seen as a constructive force and catalyst for positive change, social engagement, productivity, and creativity.
BELONGING — a space for everyone’s voice and humanity to shape change
Belonging is fully realized when individuals have more than a voice — they are actually able to reshape spaces and institutions together with existing stakeholders. Furthermore, the restorative process is made complete by having all those who have felt alienated or isolated to be accepted and welcomed back into the community.RESPONSIBILITY— committing to being a part of the solution
Every individual commits to doing their part in service to the greater whole of the community’s needs, and not to outdated rules and structures of an institution or organization. We hold each other and those accountable to repair any harm or breakdown without punishment and shame.HEALING—nurturing the health and wellness of the individual and community
Reconnecting people to the vibrancy and strengths of their own process and the spaces they’re a part of; transforming isolation, separation, and individual and collective trauma that hinders our ability to collaborate and relate to each other; co-creating a new story of what’s possible.
