Collaboration
We welcome the support and contribution of people who share our mission, passion and commitment and want to make a difference.
An organizational climate holds significance for its present occupants but also for those it seeks to engage and allure in the future.
Perhaps the most apt portrayal of the climate we aspire to foster within our organization is encapsulated in the poem Who Are The Warriors by Margaret Wheatley, which has been ingrained within our ethos from the outset. If that resonates with you, it may be a point for getting in tough.
Who are the Warriors?
As Warriors, we joyfully offer our compassion and sanity.
We have unshakable confidence that people can be kinder,
gentler and wiser than our current society tells us we are.
We rely on human goodness and offer this faith as a gift to others.
We offer ourselves not as activists to change the world, but as compassionate presences and trustworthy companions to those suffering in this world.
We embody compassion without ambition.
Our confidence, dignity and wakefulness radiate out to others as a beacon of who all humans are.
Our confidence is not conditioned by success or failure, by praise or blame. It arises naturally as we see clearly into the nature of things.
We create an atmosphere of compassion, confidence and cheerfulness with our very presence.
We create a good human society wherever we are, whenever we can, with the people and resources that are available to us now.
We rely on joy arising anywhere, knowing it is never dependent on external circumstances but comes from working together as good human beings.
We encounter life’s challenges with a sense of humor, knowing that lightness and play increase our capacity to deal with suffering.
