We are living in hell. We have two choices: we can become a part of the hell around us, or we can find those things around us that are not hell, and give
them a form that will allow them to endure.
Ítalo Calvino
THE GAZEAppreciative Seeing
To cultivate an appreciative view of the community and its environment, with the
purpose of setting a stage of abundant resources and possibilities.
AFFECTIONBuilding genuine relationships
To encourage the creation of relationships between people based on common values to
generate trust and a desire to care for one another, fueling and strengthening a collective
spirit.
THE DREAMAllowing the best world to arise
To create a space and relationships where people can express their most ambitious and profound
collective aspirations that we all have, going beyond the usual focus on problems.
CARECollective design to shape common dreams
The careful planning of projects and strategies so that they include the community’s collective
dreams in all of their diversity. The right care is the one that is good for yourself, for your neighbours
and for the planet.
MIRACLEMoving together giving our best
The collective’s action strengthened by its best attributes, enriched by the resources that already exist in the community, relying on the emotional ties that unite them, and motivated by its most
ambitious collective dreams. The result is always beyond our ideas of what is possible.
