Vision:
- Life is sacred and full of wonder. Life speaks to us and through us in every moment. Connection to ourselves, to others, and to the natural world creates and protects peace and justice, because it allows us to respond to the needs of life. Connection is possible in any moment and in any setting. We can learn the skills and awareness of connection no matter who or where we are. These skills allow us to create a world where each of us matters, and we can work together to allow life to thrive in all its diverse beauty.

We are all longing to go home to some place we have never been — a place half-remembered and half-envisioned we can only catch glimpses of from time to time. Community. Somewhere, there are people to whom we can speak with passion without having the words catch in our throats. Somewhere a circle of hands will open to receive us, eyes will light up as we enter, voices will celebrate with us whenever we come into our own power. Community means strength that joins our strength to do the work that needs to be done. Arms to hold us when we falter. A circle of healing. A circle of friends. Someplace where we can be free. ~ Starhawk
