• Can I make up a certification for the life stuff?

I have a vision of service-oriented spaces (hospitals, schools, community orgs, etc.) sustaining everyone - the humans giving and receiving the care.

I believe those of us who have a sturdy individual hierarchy of needs, have a collective responsibility to make that a reality for others.

I’ve decided to lead myself and my work from these core values:

• Love (everybody’s in)

• Integrity (wholeness)

• Vitality (aliveness)

• Equity (if this word throws you off, try Ethics…)
