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.
