an ethic
our mission
We nourish a practice of equity and justice, with and for people at the intersections.
our vision
We weave a living ecosystem of resonant connection and intimate practice, in pursuit of health equity and racial, disability, and reproductive justice.
our values
body wisdom
Each body contains its own map of joy, pleasure, power, trauma, desire, resilience, and healing. At the intersection of logic and emotion, we find wisdom.
choice and invitation
Our work is grounded in agency and autonomy: people have choice over their thoughts, intentions, and behaviors. Accountability is thus a gift and invitation into deeper relationship.
intersectional theory and praxis
Most of us live, work, make, and play at the intersections of privilege and oppression. We hold these identities and experience these systems simultaneously.
infinite stories
We embrace contradictions and hold multiple truths as true at once. Stories are changed each time we tell them, and they are no less true in their retelling.
humans and systems
All complex systems are enacted by humans and on humans. We nourish the people to heal the systems.
sacred work
Thought requires action; knowledge informs skills, actions, and behaviors. Numbers and stories are both data, and theory is liberatory. The work comes in the practice.
an ethic of care
Nourishment means we hold our delight and tenderness with as much sacredness as our grief. Joy is the most vulnerable emotion, and equity work is inherently joyful work.
