Becoming whole

Becoming whole is having awareness of the entire self: physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual.

Belonging

Belonging is a feeling of security and support. When we feel we belong, we can bring our authentic selves
to any situation that arises.

Civil behavior

Civil behavior is recognizing, with childlike curiosity, that other people are different than you.

Civility

Civility is a voice that speaks from a respectful and grounded place.

Etiquette

Etiquette is the elevated physical and emotional regulation of self observed in physical and virtual spaces.

Vulnerable Communities

Vulnerable people are people who lack guiding principles to move the mind, body, and spirit forward together. It means communities that are less protected. Communities that are more open and susceptible to societal ills due to a number of reasons.
