We believe:
​
You are valuable and enough
You are the powerful creator of your own life
You have good reason to be skeptical
You are not alone
You are worthy, you are spirit, you are an artist
You belong and have something to say
You have been hurt in life and have good questions
You are beautiful, loved, and have what it takes
You have a purpose and your opinion matters
You are a necessary part of community
You deserve to flourish & experience joy
You are trustworthy and have something to teach
And that this is true for all
gender identities, sexual orientations, religious affiliations,
abilities, racial identities, ethnic backgrounds, and socioeconomic statuses.
