Connection

It is the belief that we are better together - that more is possible when we’re connected and singing in unison from the same karaoke screen.

Lived connection runs deep. It goes beyond titles, roles, or scratching each other’s backs. It is a desire to really see, hear and feel another.

Lived connection builds relationships, communities, cultures, trust, communion. It unifies across differences through our shared humanity, and enables us to bravely co-create new experiences and futures.

Creativity

Creativity is the land of co-created concepts, spit-balling, kindle crackling into a blazing fire, fast heart-beats, blue skies, and intuitive belly butterflies.

Lived creativity is having the courage, freedom, and conviction to co-design and share ideas, insights, and perspectives that shape the way we live.

It is listening to whispers from an unidentifiable, unquantifiable, but lush, fertile place.

Honesty

Creating a safe and soft space to say what we really mean and be heard.

Lived honesty is having the courage to be vulnerable, authentic, and uncomfortable to shape what might be possible through direct, sincere, and meaningful dialogue.

Lived honesty creates a spacious, non-judgmental and compassionate environment where trust is built through transparency and being in integrity.

Courage

It takes courage to speak our truth, to take a stand for what we believe in, to admit we don’t know, to release outdated and limiting beliefs and create anew.

Living courage means modeling behaviors we want to see in the world. It means starting here, now, first with ourselves and how we move in the world.

Living courage is rooted in trust, enabling us to connect, create, and share with an open heart and mind. It is showing up fully, authentically, and vulnerably.

Openness

It is an expansive and curious state of being. Lived openness is having a wild willingness and the raw humility to learn, experiment, fail forward, grow, and explore the unknown.

It is being open to change and a diversity of opinions, viewpoints, ideas, and cultures.

It possesses a child-like energy, before we gave things names, before we assigned judgment, before we had preferences. It is a readiness to emerge, to expand, to see clearly, and to vibrate higher.

Diversity

Diversity shatters the normative ‘ideal’, celebrates the kaleidoscope of fractals to create a more equitable, multihued, compassionate, and flourishing world.

It is rooted in the belief that diversity fuels creativity. When all people from across all spectrums are welcome and seen, the world becomes vastly more exciting, beautiful, and fascinating.

Lived diversity is celebrating our unique signatures and our shared humanity, what distinguishes and unites us, and continuously learning, opening, and being curious about one another in all our breathtaking permutations.

Compassion

Compassion is a compass. Lived compassion breaks from the inner circle to include the world at large.

It is the intentional design of a regenerative, equal, diverse, inclusive, heartfelt, and kind world.

It is alive in our daily interactions and behaviors, and directs our efforts and energies towards building better. It is stitched across the big and small.

It is a smile, a contribution, a commitment. It cultivates awareness and kindness towards oneself, others, the planet, and all beings on it.
