6 secrets for living together in community.

1.       Own your own experience and respect the experience of others.

Owning our personal experience means we understand that our experience and the experience of others may not be the same.

2.       Be transparent – no hiding.

Transparency involves embodying qualities of openness, receptivity and vulnerability while cultivating consciousness. Consciousness is the main medicine and it is essential for resolution to first recognize that there is even an issue.

3.       Be in integrity and 100% responsible.

Integrity is a process of aligning one’s toughts, words, actions, and feelings. When a community unanimously takes 100% responsibility for all these aspects of our being, an empowered and inspired space is created.

4.       Honor your true self.

Don’t assume that others will be able to read your mind, and communicate your needs so the community can support each other.

5.       Practice presence with self and others.

We make the commitment to practice with ourselves and others, listening in an active way no matter how muchwe think we already know about what is being shared.

6.       Take initiative and be engaged.

Each individual is committed to serve as an inspiration and example, and be the change in the world.
