Values
All species are important to the ecosystem. All voices matter. Therefore, facilitate inclusiveness and welcome the diverse voices of our human and nature communities.
Edge habitats are linked to species diversity. Curiosity and edges are linked in growth. Therefore, watch for and facilitate curiosity and carefully and gently stretch peoples' edges.
Tracking nature, in the holistic sense, brings awareness to the tracks we leave as well as the tracks around us. Accountability and integrity facilitate effectiveness. Therefore, we strive for accountability, communication, feedback, and clear agreements.
The needs of all living things are provided by the earth. The earth is home to every being and the future generations matter. Therefore, leave it better than you found it, do your best.
Ecological systems are open systems of interaction in which the health and wholeness of each species affects all others. There are gifts inherent in everything and everyone. These gifts drive growth; therefore, look for and celebrate the gifts in self, others, and all things.
Patterns of movement and interaction are recorded on the land as part of the geologic process, and processes of living things from the microscopic to the majestic. The habitual patterns of the natural world's beings leave observable wear patterns. Seeing the ancient and ancestral patterns of the geologic and the moving and growing things causes us to examine our own ancestral and habitual patterns. Awareness increases through inner and outer tracking; therefore, increase both inner and outer awareness, facilitate inner and outer tracking, honestly, with kindness and sensitivity.
Interaction with the land grows relationship to the land. Deep relationships foster wisdom and understanding of processes for regenerative living on that land in harmony. Unity grows with understanding; therefore, facilitate understanding through sharing and communicating the big picture.
We value creativity and the creative power of the natural environment and natural processes within us. Creativity comes from the center; therefore, facilitate awareness at the core of all you do. The resources that come from the land to support life are knowable and observable. Develop keen sensory awareness. This will bring us to awareness of what is around in the present moment. This facilitates centered and grounded awareness.
