We cherish curiosity, research, generative discussion, innovation, trial and error. We distinguish fear from danger, we are endeavour to question fear and grant pragmatic lucidity to real danger. We take care of what is in the making, we give it the time and latitude to reach maturity in its own way. We believe in cross-fertilization, we cultivate encounters and activities that activate mutual inspiration. We also know that creativity is governed by seasons, and also welcome the rest, contemplation and rejuvenation that all creative living requires. We honor creativity as taught to us by nature, in its generosity and balance. In return, we protect nature, its rhythms and its creations.

We take full responsibility for ourselves, our actions and our choices. We are respected in our decisions, even when it may seem to others that we will suffer difficult consequences. We are free to make our commitments, and we are responsible for carrying them out or renegotiating them in due time. We are entitled to error. We have the right to learn, at our own pace and in our own way. We cultivate dignity in ourselves and in others. We avoid unsolicited advice. We make ourselves available to support everyone's sovereign decision process. We recognize the unique and subjective journey of each life and we consider that each being is the only expert of his or her experience. We also respect the sovereignty of all living beings, and of the various ecosystems and of the planet-system of the Earth, and choose to intervene only with consideration in its processes.

We take care of each other. We are jointly responsible for the atmosphere and of the relational security that reigns in the place. It is legitimate to ask for help. Supporting each other is a daily priority. We accompany each other with empathy in the sometimes painful consequences of our choices and actions. We operate on the presumption of benevolence: the assumption that everyone does their best at all times, and deserves to be supported with respect and gentleness in their unique path of evolution. We also take care of all members of the living community around us, no matter their species.

We welcome each being in his or her completeness, without distinction of social, economic, religious, ideological, sexual, relational, gender, species, or other, category. We recognize that our society is characterized by systems of oppression, including pervasive economic injustice, and we distance ourselves from any collaboration with this functioning. We welcome the diversity of contributions, values and wealth of each being. We make room for our differences. We ensure safety in diversity by requiring that our conversations be free of stereotypes and other forms of prejudice. We educate ourselves on the systems of oppression that operate in the collective unconscious (racism, sexism, xenophobia, homophobia, transphobia, speciesism, etc.), we communicate on this subject and we attune our actions, our behaviors and our operating framework to our growing understanding of these topics.

We cultivate the courage to speak our truth. We learn to accurately name our opinions, beliefs, fears, projections, needs, demands, limits, and all other components of our personal truths. We respond honestly to the questions put to us. We can count on the fact that what everyone expresses is sincere, in good faith, and as complete and true as possible according to their own understanding at that moment. When we are wrong, we correct the information as soon as possible. We avoid irony, sarcasm and innuendo, we avoid any behavior of manipulation, withholding information or excessive complexity. We promote direct expression, understanding and clarity. Sometimes we are faced with our inconsistencies and our paradoxes, and we accept that it is part of the human condition. We act with the confidence that any information can be processed with intelligence and empathy, so we have nothing to hide. We respect the parts of ourselves which belong to the intimate or which are not yet ready to be expressed, these have the right to be held in silence.

We explore the practice and implications of the gift economy, freely giving what we wish to contribute and gratefully receiving whatever is given to us. We strive to create an informal, consensual balance rather than a system of debts or accounted exchanges. We cultivate gratitude for all that is received. We trust in the innate generosity of everyone. We recognize that this natural inclination is sometimes momentarily hampered, but we believe that the consistent and determined practice of free giving is often apt to dissolve these individualistic habits. We accept that sometimes the balance will not be found, and that our generosity will be offered without return. We believe that even in this case, our loyalty to the value of sharing makes us winners in the long term. We trust that time will allow reciprocity to act in the most appropriate way, even if the return of generosity is through an indirect channel. We participate in the generosity of the natural world by only taking the resources we need and by sharing generously with the living things around us.
