We embrace, welcome, and champion under-represented cultures, ages, abilities, bodies, genders, and people.
We create space—sanctuary—where new voices and ideas can mingle, collaborate, and emerge. If someone needs their family to come, we invite the whole family. We are consistently awed by the magic of letting our pre-conceived notions go.
We amplify and showcase this work; we seek avenues to share it with our wider community; we aim to gently shift our audiences from a place of separation and fear to a place of connection and wonder.
We aim to close the divide between our species and the natural world that colonization has constructed.
We recognize that certain ages, abilities, bodies, genders and people have been systematically excluded from positions of power, authority and voice. We aim to shift this inequity through our collaborations, our work, and our organization.
We recognize the impact of the unjust systems that we all live within—grounded in fear, oppression, and anxiety—and we aim to transform these systems for ourselves and for our community. We seek to emulate the beautiful spaces emerging in communities of resistance around the world. We acknowledge this can be both a joyful and an uncomfortable experience, and we seek to live in and accept all of it.
While we seek contributions from underrepresented voices and abilities, we recognize there are different intersections in this work and that not everybody can access it the same way. We are aware that our work is still not accessible to some. We know we have blind spots. We see this, we want to change this, and we are open to any and all feedback.
