• I am interested in ways of thinking about meaning-making, religion, God, and spirituality that are beyond the tradition I was raised in.
• I have an open and curious stance toward the ways other people name and conceptualize The Divine.
• I believe it's ok to be searching and "not knowing" about one's spiritual worldview.
• I believe people from all cultures and religions deserve respect and dignity.
• I believe people of all racial and ethnic identities deserve respect and dignity.
• I believe people of all gender, sexual, and romantic identities deserve respect and dignity.
• I am willing to be uncomfortable in order to approach my own struggles with acceptance, recognizing that growth requires tension.
• I am able to hold more than one, sometimes conflicting, ideas and feelings at once.
• I recognize that spiritual ideas and experiences are often complex, and am willing to be patient.
• I am committed to witnessing, and being present with my own spiritual growth.

"Love is from the infinite, and will remain in eternity.
The seeker of love escapes the chains of birth and death.
Tomorrow, when the resurrection comes,
the heart that is not in love will fail the test."
~ Rumi, "Thief of Sleep"

"How shall I grasp it? Do not grasp it. That which remains when there is no more grasping is the Self."
~ Panchadasi
