Practice

We build brave spaces to experiment, play, fail, learn, grow, and reflect.

We are consciously creating a space together, and we all have the responsibility to sustain this space with each other and within our communities. As we navigate the complexity of our collaborations and community building, we are open to failure and making mistakes. We bravely move forward with the diversity of our communities and our strategies intact.
