How We Roll
Our values, principles, and practices guide everything we do. We operate with transparency, integrity, and a commitment to collective liberation.
This is our set of commitments to each other about how we want to collaborate towards our shared vision. We will revise and revisit these covenants as needed to reflect our living practice.
Lead with Love
Understand and accept people as they are while supporting them in becoming the best version of themselves in both work and life.
Prioritize Relationships
Maintaining positive relationships is more important than efficiency and more important than business gains. It's all personal, and the business is just business. The experience and feeling of beloved community guide our growth and helps us grow in ways that strengthen our core culture and community. Learning from nature, ecology, and living systems, we approach questions of growth and scale, restoratively and regeneratively.
Authenticity and Accountability
We aspire to show up authentically, invite accountability, and respond to feedback with gratitude, humility, and non-fragility. We embrace radical candor, knowing that we will offer feedback with kindness and love. We aspire to be honest about our needs and limitations, and to speak up if we're in pain or need help.
Generative Conflict
We expect that conflict will occur, and we will view conflict as an opportunity to learn and to grow. We believe that if conflict is managed well, it can lead to a stronger and more resilient community. We will not exit the community or ask another person to exit, without the opportunity to process the decision in a way that supports leaving with a sense of resolution and continuing care.
Joy, Rest, and Thriving
We believe that cultivating joy in our work and allowing for adequate rest are essential to wellbeing and that these practices disrupt the dehumanizing tendencies of predominant economic systems. We believe in the audacity of thriving even in a world that is falling apart.
Embrace Our Interbeingness
We recognize the inseparability of existence, the inherent sacredness of all creation, and our interdependence. With this nature of "interbeing" in mind, we strive to cultivate relationships of reciprocity and care with humans and the more-than-human alike.
Move Beyond Binary Thinking and "Othering"
We embrace nuance, complexity, and the spectrum of experiences, knowing that everyone is on their own journey. We assume positive intent, seek to understand systemic influences, and work to change structures rather than blame individuals. At the same time, we acknowledge the need to challenge behavior and actions that harm people and the planet.
Commit to Enoughness, Shared Abundance in Practice and Outcome
The core of our mission is to inspire bold action to transfer assets into the stewardship of communities that have been historically harmed by extractive economic systems. As we transition towards a world of shared prosperity and abundance we will recognize the abundance that is already here and is accessed through our deep kinship and collaboration. There is no way to abundance, abundance is the way.
