Founders’ Vows

We come together not only to build a platform,

but to practice liberation through service.

We acknowledge that this work will touch our

ego, fear, ambition, tenderness, and limits.

We agree to treat all of these

as grounds for practice — not obstacles.

Core Culture

We choose collective growth over individual self-image.

When questions about recognition, comparison, or control arise,

We return to the question:

“What most clearly serves real life and the community at this moment?”

We honor each tradition and role in the great mosaic of humanity.

Teaching, holding space, translating traditions,

organizing, promoting, managing resources —

None is higher or lower.

All are conduits of the sublime.

Growth, decline, success, or failure

Do not define anyone’s worth or sincerity.

We commit to the labor of life —

and allow the results to unfold.

We take responsibility, not control.

This community belongs to all of us,

members, community leaders, and teachers.

We are all stewards.

We speak truthfully and listen deeply.

Boundaries are structures of care.

When tension appears,

we do not rationalize it, take it personally, or bypass it.

We slow down, feel, inquire, and respond with curiosity and kindness.
