Some of the Principles that Guide this Work

• Invite celebration, joyousness, creativity.
• Get to do / “get to have to do.”
• People want renewal together and of what is already in them
• Whatever the challenge, community is the answer (The Berkana Institute)
  
• “The answer to how is yes.” (Peter Block)
• The wisdom we need is already in the systems where we work and live.
• “Activate” resonance of leadership in community.
• Work from the sacred and sense of open mind, open heart, and open will. (Otto Scharmer)
• Working across boundaries.
• Innovating.
• Balancing colearning, building relationships, application to participant projects.
• People will come out of the wood work -- many of us yearn for other ways to work together.
• Offer what we can. Ask for what we need.
• Act locally. Connect regionally. Learn trans-globally. 
• “Just go for it.” Playful experimentation. Start anywhere.
• Trust the universe.
