Our Vision: We dream of a more resilient and connected world where all humans sustain healthy relationships with ourselves, one another, and our planet.
Our Mission: We empower nonprofit, private, and public sector institutions driven by people-centered values to transform their ecosystems toward justice, fairness and belonging. We do this through strategic planning, facilitation, assessments, coaching, learning experiences, curriculum development, toolkits, and resources.
What are justice, fairness, and belonging?
- Justice means tearing down systems that keep people from living full, dignified, and liberated lives.
- Fairness means making sure everyone has equal access to opportunities and resources regardless of their background or lived experience.
- Belonging includes all the feelings—such as security, empowerment, importance, connection, wholeness, and value—that come from being in a thriving environment.
Our Values:
- Humility (not hubris): We call ourselves “experienced,” and not “experts” because we are always learning and evolving based on that learning.
- Interdependence (not independence): We thrive in collaboration with others because we are all connected and depend on each other; our work inherently is about relationships, so only in relationship can we move this work forward.
- Solidarity (not charity): We strive to work with (and not for) those who have been most deeply impacted by harmful systems, and to share whatever power and resources we have to support liberation for all.
- Intergenerational obligation (not instant gratification): We will not accomplish our vision in our lifetimes, and must always think of the rippling impact of our actions and recommendations on future generations. We must be mindful ancestors.
