Relationship is the fundamental building block of a transformed culture. Respond to spirit, as well as mind and body. Risk taking is a normal part of life. Put person before task. All elders are entitled to self-determination wherever they live.
Community is the antidote to institutionalization.
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Promote the growth and development of all. Practice self-examination, searching for new creativity and opportunities for doing better. Recognize that culture change and transformation are not destinations but a journey, always a work in progress. The publications of the Pioneer Network outline strategies for turning these values into practices that can work in your community.
