We are truthful and honorable in everything we do. We value a reputation built on staying true to ourselves and accountable to others. We consider intention and impact of every thought and action. We strive to let go of what others say in order to be our most authentic selves.

We value the importance of supportive relationships and community. We believe in imperfect people who cannot escape struggle or hardship, but who are worthy, lovable, and valuable just as they are. We actively work to eliminate and reverse the impact of judgment, prejudice, and oppression. We seek to end racism, homophobia and transphobia, sexism, sizeism, and ageism. We aim to support the cultural, social, political, economic, spiritual, and religious practices of all people.

We work to make the world around us more beautiful through our art and surrounding our space with beautiful things. We use creativity to inspire others and create calm, clarity, and inner harmony. We find inspiration in everything, but avoid comparison, which breeds envy and insecurity. We strive to create balance and order while taking the time to be spontaneous.

We value meaningful work that allows us to use our talents in ways that benefit others and promote self-fulfillment. We strive to become good leaders by motivating those around us to get involved in their communities. We work to empower others to realize their potential. We act with courage, integrity, and sophistication.

In taking risks, we embrace the unknown and show courage. Vulnerability is the source of gratitude and joy; it promotes self-compassion and forgiveness. We see each day as a clean slate with new chances and new opportunities. We value life’s experiences and seek to learn and grow from each one. In our daily endeavors, we avoid neither risk nor responsibility; nor do we fear failure, only lost opportunity.

We take time to enjoy life. We value play and rest, which fuel creativity and productivity as much as hard work. Laughter, song, and dance feed our souls when we approach them with reckless optimism and without a need for control. Practicing good self-care is essential to sustaining a healthy life. Calm and stillness are just as valuable as work and play. We respect the practices of both medical science and ancestral wisdom. We value a team of professionals who prioritize holistic health.

We cannot change the world alone, but we can help our community by working toward a better world right where we are. Humanity deserves love, kindness, and equity. We believe that Black lives matter, that all forms of love are valid, that gender is not defined by society, and that all people have the right to civil liberties. Having benefited from Whiteness, it is our responsibility to disrupt and dismantle systems of injustice. We are committed to doing our own work exploring biases, challenging the status quo, and getting curious about equity. We practice kindness toward all people, because the most important thing in life is how we treat others. We strive to be involved citizens through voting, public service, and mindful giving.

We understand the impact of present circumstances and past conditioning to determine responses to the challenges we face. We choose to focus on the now and act directly on things we can do something about. We choose to feel emotions rather than numb them, and let go of feeling powerless over life. In doing this, we eschew self-doubt.

Knowledge is the basis for growth, and growth is the key to living. We value curiosity and the wonders of discovery. We explore the world by traveling, by reading, and by keeping up with current events. We strive to learn from other people and share our knowledge and passion for learning with those around us.

We continually develop our personal faiths while respecting and honoring the beliefs and opinions of others. We challenge our convictions to discover truth; we do not require certainty but rely on building trust.

We care about the impact we are leaving behind. Our relationship with the earth is based on mutual respect; the earth has provided for us, and we protect and honor the space we are given through recycling, reusing, conservation, and mindful consumption.
