Our Guiding Principles
Our values play an important part of our process.
INTEGRATE
We work end to end, across every level, before, during and after pressure hits. Nothing in isolation. A team solution is never just a team solution -- it lives in the structure and practical day to day integration.
We do not drop in and leave. We work alongside. We intentionally bring all voices to the table, supporting diverse thought and experience. The people in the room become part of the solution and change.
LEAD WITH TRUST
We trust that leaders are doing their best with what they have. We trust that teams and people want to do good work. This is the starting point that makes the work possible. All we do is rooted in mutual respect and trust.
STRENGTHEN
We do not come in looking for problems or faults. We come in looking for what is already working and building from there. When something is not working, we name it as a structural condition, not a personal failure. No blame. We center safety in how we build together.
LIGHTEN
We are not coming to add to your list. We are coming to take something off it. For front line teams, for managers, for leaders who have been carrying problems that were structural long before they became visible. We want you to leave your day and exhale with ease.
What helps people feel good at work is the quality of the relations they have with others (co-workers, supervisors, clients). When people feel good at work, people do good work, and those same people go out into the world and contribute to better ways of relating and making better societies.
Our History
Over 25 years of evidence based impact
Rooted in Somatics, Neuroscience and Trauma
Restorative and Transformative Justice informed
Diversity centered
We have a rich history of working directly in dismantling systems which cause oppression, and working towards equitable societies.
Even though we work globally, our offices are on the traditional unceded territory of Huron-Wendat, Anishinabek, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee Confederacy and The Mississaugas of the Credit River First Nations. As treaty people on this land, we acknowledge the collective, yet uniquely, and individually distinct responsibility of repairing the harms and preventing further harm caused by the White supremacist, colonial, systems which impact all parts of society, and which are directly responsible for the violent physical and cultural genocide of Indigenous peoples across Turtle Island, and the forced enslavement of people of African decent on these lands.
In our work we are accountable to all care practices that are not entangled with, and structured in punishment, surveillance and control. Care practices which are land based, and built on mutual support. Practices indigenous to all of our ancestors, and stolen from many. In our work we bring the history of our own individual ancestries, as well as the rich genealogy of deep lineage of care present in Queer, Trans, Black, Indigenous, People of Color (QTBIPoC) communities. Communities from which self-determined care has been stolen through the legacy and present day reality of colonialism, supremacy and binary based systems. We actively center the QTBIPOC voices and aim to ensure that we are taking leadership in care by those who experience most harm.
