Where there is no vision, there can be no development. Culturally Based Healing and development must be rooted in the wisdom, knowledge and living processes of our cultures. When we work on any part, the whole circle is affected. Working at one level of development without attending to the other is not enough. We need the love, support and caring of others to heal and develop ourselves.
Unity is the starting point for development, and as development unfolds, unity deepens.
Participation People have to be actively engaged in the process of their own healing and development. Without participation, there can be no development. Every person must be treated with respected as a human being and a child of the Creator, regardless of gender, race, culture, religion or any other reason. Everyone should be accorded the opportunity to fully participate in the processes of healing and development, and to receive a share of the benefits. Connection with the Creator brings life, unity, love and purpose to the process, and is expressed through a heart-centred approach to all that we do.
