Our philosophy
Community
Raising healthy children and living in a healthy world…. physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually, socially…. means raising a healthy community. That means taking great care of everyone! We create experiences with a spirit of community to help everyone feel included and supported so that the current and next generations can thrive and grow to their greatest capacities!
Compassion
“…and the greatest of these is love,” ~ 1 Corinthians 13:13
“If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion.” ~ Dalai Lama
“Our task must be to free ourselves … by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.” ~ Albert Einstein
“Teach us love, compassion, and honor, that we may heal the earth and heal each other.” ~ Ojibwa prayer
Connection
The common thread that all life needs to thrive is the natural world. Experiencing first hand with one’s own senses, our place within the world can be an uplifting and life altering experience. Awakening our senses and expanding our awareness of the world around us is at the core of our intentions. We believe that once this self-to-other connection is established, compassion grows and our community, along with each individual, will thrive.
