we’reaspirational – putting the shared prosperity, direct care-first exchanges, and inter-reliance of (wealthy & impoverished) communities at the centre of our stage
we’re guided by the mindset shift that:
we move from ego- to ecosystem awareness and cultivate a mindset of mutuality
we believe in place-based knowledge and learning (most answers are already there – but host an inconvenient truth)
we focus on nurturing trust-based relationships of mutual respect, empowerment and care
we adapt to be inclusive of communal practices and adopt and value a caregiving and mutual cooperation attitude
changing a community comes from change within a person, within everybody involved
we centre our efforts in the communities, specifically with independent associations of workers or neighbours
we are in service of creating thriving communities (currently impoverished, left-behind and excluded)
we see communities as complex wholes and seek to weave mutually beneficial relationships between communities, their natural and productive resources
we honour the local context and strive to protect resources and encourage local ownership
we focus on the act of weaving and on 4 returns: inspirational, social, environmental, and financial – the latter being defined as sustainable income generation and growth of assets and wellbeing.
