guiding principles for being in the mess

---

Together we can come up with things we couldn't come up with on our own. In coming together well, we can give each other energy to sustain us when things get hard.

Instead of running to keep pace with the world as it speeds up, we need to deliberately slow down to listen deeply, see connections and patterns, and think through possible implications of our actions.

Sometimes we just need to keep moving so that we don't get stuck, or make some kind of move to get ourselves unstuck.

Being crystal clear on our intention at all times so that we don't lose our way, either in the direction we are travelling or how we are travelling with others.

Rather than focusing on outcomes, which we cannot control, putting our energy into creating the conditions for new possibilities and supportive relationships to emerge.

When things are constantly changing, noticing is our superpower. We need to pay attention to what is going on inside us, between others, and in the world around us.
