“We don’t aim for a destination—instead we commitment to ongoing return, repair, and retelling.”

We believe documenting what we have learned and lived - our mistakes, our resilience, our care - creates the kind of safety that systems can’t. We are working towards the kind of safety that grows when people know and show up for each other. This honors each other right now, those who came before, those who will come after.

To be co-created with you as we grow.

- Emergency readiness and shared care plans
- Conflict resolution and restorative practices
- Neighborhood safety walks
- Community agreements and advocacy
- Honest documentation for future learning
- Elder storytelling and inter-generational readings.

This is how we practice continuity; not by preserving what’s perfect, but by passing on what is true.

We show up as people, not projects.
There’s nothing to fix here. You don’t have to be healed or ready. You just have to be as real as you can.

We value effort over polish.

We’d rather you come tired and honest than stay away trying to be fine.

We believe care goes both ways.

Giving and receiving are equally important—and sometimes the most generous thing you can do is accept help.

We practice interdependence.

That means shared labor, clear boundaries, and a deep respect for capacity.

We move at the pace of trust.

You don’t have to rush vulnerability or connection or expect that from others. But we do commit to showing up and trusting in your source ( i.e. Universe, G-d, Mother Earth, etc )

We name harm, accept accountability, and stay in repair.

Mistakes happen. We believe in accountability with grace—and the courage to try again.

We speak from experience, not assumption.

We use “I” language. We make room for complexity. We check our stories before placing them on others.

We take rest seriously.

Rest isn’t laziness—it’s resistance. And it helps us return with clarity, care, and creativity.

(Inspired by “Rest is Resistance” by Tricia Hersey)

We remember where we came from.

We honor those who came before us and serve those who’ll come after. We remember our own experiences, choices, impact, and people who taught and changed us. We recognize how far we have come.

This is a practice rooted in time.

We practice, again and again.

This is not performance. It’s a rhythm. Rhythms take returning to practice.
