OUR ETHOS
Our practices are informed by:
- Relational
recognizing that people are shaped through relationships and social worlds and make sense of their experience in relation to one another.
- Gently Curious
staying open to the multiplicities of our being, to the complexity and uncertainty that may unsettle what we think we know.
- Without appropriation
not claiming to represent experiences or voices that are not ours to represent.
- With accountability
making space for feedback, debriefing, reflection, reparation, and change.
- Slow and intentional
resisting extractive models of productivity, care, and knowledge-making.
- Political
recognizing that psychological life cannot be separated from caste, gender, sexuality, class, disability, institutions, histories, and power.
- Experiential
allowing room for play, uncertainty, creativity, and forms of practice that do not fit neatly into existing categories.
- Collectively
treating knowledge and care as things that can be created with one another, rather than delivered to others.
