The following are the values and culture being created both inside our Organization, as well as inside our Network.
WE ARE EXISTENTIALLY QUEER
We unapologetically question and challenge traditional norms and existing conventions.
WE ARE TRANSPARENT AF
There are no unspoken elephants in the room. Transparency is a requirement on an individual and collective level. Information is disseminated freely, and vulnerability is encouraged and supported.
WE ARE MISSION ORIENTED
When making any decision, we ask ourselves: How is this decision in service to NFN’s evolutionary purpose? How will this decision expand and further NFN’s evolutionary purpose?
WE ARE WILLING TO HOLD SPACE
We believe that everything that needs a solution has one…but that not everything needs solving. And we honor the times when there’s nothing to be done but feel.
WE ARE DEEPLY CREATIVE
We have a passionate love affair with raw creativity.
WE ARE ROOTED IN NONVIOLENCE AND RESTORATIVE JUSTICE
We don’t use force, coercion, manipulation, or control to get things done. We make decisions that are best for the planet, for humanity, and for our souls even if it is not popular, advised, or immediately profitable.
We center community and communal practices while acknowledging and holding space for the individual in their wholeness and in context of the world.
