Our work is committed to understanding both individual harms and the systemic harms that affect communities.
Empathy
We all listen with intentionality—acknowledging each other’s history, experiences, and stories eagerly.
Commitment
We all show up consistently for each other, to take part in a beloved community.
Respect
We all begin the circle process from a place of compassion and appreciation for each other.
Responsibility
Deep reflection on our past experiences that resulted in harmful impacts on survivors, families, and communities makes it possible to begin to take responsibility.
Accountability
We hold each other accountable in circle, with compassion and open-heartedness.
