Our Stance

Historically, people have conflated religion and spirituality. Since religion has been used as a tool of oppression, the result of this conflation has been inaccuracy, fear, and ignorance. Therefore, we live in a time where people are resistant to and hesitant with embracing spirituality and seeing the interconnectedness of beings. This has led to practices that embody and promote divisiveness and inequity. Sustainable designs reckon with and challenge the false premise that religion and spirituality are one and the same. Spirituality is embraced to challenge many of the power structures entrenched in religion and serves as a pathway to offer new possibilities, relationships, and creations.

The world requires us to examine the present and the future while holding the past in our line of sight. When we do so we are able to learn not just from humans but from all sentient beings. We can benefit from the gift of sentient teachers in all forms to assist us in producing, surviving, thriving, shedding, and growing. We can explicitly embrace the challenge of stewarding and concerting as our small part of The Whole.

Decades of policies and practices have created legacies of fracturing where people and organizations utilize the strategy of remaining fractured in order to achieve markers of success. There is another option that promotes alignment and integration. We value the work that resists splintering of minds-bodies-spirits and contend that alignment can lead to liberation for self and for the other entities with whom we share this Universe. We promote wholeness, authenticity, alignment, and integration as vehicles for success and wellness centered producing.
