Our values unite us in the effort for educational transformation
Our values
Each team member brings a unique flavor to the work space, and we all share a set of values that unite us in our educational transformation efforts.
Regeneration
Regeneration begins with oneself, because the interior and the exterior are lines of the same spiral, interconnected and constantly in motion. Every day we take actions that impact our cells' ability to regenerate. That is why our temporal age does not necessarily correspond to the age of the internal organs.
Regeneration requires that we tune in to all of our senses to listen, assess, and live life. Regeneration begins with the food we buy, the energy sources that power our home, the way we relate to people of diverse backgrounds and origins. It is also a relationship with the whole of human nature, including its shadows, and the process of illuminating the cycles of resentment, fear, and trauma.
What are your contributions to today's world and for future generations?
