A Simple Explanation of Absolutely Everything
2017-05-05 00:00:00 +0000

- Consciousness: a set of principles that support living a life of empathy, care, courage, and authenticity
- Language: understanding how words contribute to connection or distance
- Communication: knowing how to ask for what we want, how to hear others even in disagreement, and how to move toward solutions that work for all
- Means of influence: sharing ‘power with others’ rather than using ‘power over others’”

The Gentle Rebel's Manifesto
2017-03-29 00:00:00 +0000

We celebrate and enjoy differences between us; we don’t use them to score points, develop divisions, and perpetuate hatred.
We don’t blindly accept the status quo simply because ‘it’s how we’ve always done it’… We want to know why.”
