We believe that a healthy society requires that everyone is provided dignity and respect, and that opportunity should be afforded to everyone, not varying by age, race, ethnicity, ancestry, national origin, citizenship, sex, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, physical or mental abilities, criminal history, or religion.
We believe that we must transform both the societal systems and our own internal biases that promote and maintain inequality and any way of being that considers others as less than (racism, sexism, etc.). We stand with Black Lives Matter, embrace applicants from underrepresented groups, and humbly endeavor to acknowledge the ways we benefit from inequality.
We believe that all behavior emerges out of positive intention for ourselves and that the combined power of touch, acceptance, and presence-centered awareness can allow for the emergence of new patterns that lead to healthier relationships and greater joy.
Our dedication to fostering a safe and nurturing environment is deeply integrated into our culture. Please read more about what it means to provide trauma-informed care.
