we believe our best perk is love. we cultivate and contribute to a culture of inquiry, curiosity, connection. because big-heartedness is at the heart of our organization, we are dedicated to studying ourselves, living in wholeness and realizing the merits of our teachings and practices.

we are continuously inspiring, innovating, and improving.

we aspire to restore, elevate, rediscover, acknowledge and validate the multi-dimensional nature of life, lived-experiences, culture and knowledge of indigenous people, people of color, and colonized people as well as to decenter hetero/cis-normativity, gender hierarchies, ability privilege and racial privilege.

we aspire to this for the ultimate gain of (1) making our work accessible and applicable and (2) simply doing the right thing.

we trust in the combined power of experience and science. by sourcing wisdom from others, we diversify and enhance opportunities for knowledge-sharing without submitting to hierarchies of importance. we respect the gaps, depth and range of each other’s experience and engage our constituents' participation as active listeners and storytellers. this empowers us to work and play as co-creators.

we work to be remarkably transparent. we are genuine, ethical, and dependable with each other. we prioritize emotional and psychological safety as we collaborate. people trust us to adhere to our word and follow through.

we favor playfulness and exploration. we encourage discovery of the individual self, the other, the collective. we are dedicated to holding space for operating with agility, adaptability, and flexibility. we thrive on the spaciousness of possibility that comes from openness to change and believing there is more than one “right” way to do things.
