We begin at the present moment and cultivate personal awareness as an integral part of partnership.
Connection.
We connect with place as well as the the multiple dimensions of ourselves. With choice, we move towards connection with others.

We show care for ourselves, each other, and the space around us. We take care physically, spiritually, and emotionally.
