We Pledge to be in alignment with the Landās natural healing energy, by embracing the stewardship principles of:
Generosity of spirit
Community of hospitality
Embodied listening
Openness to transformation
Expanding on our stewardship principles:
Generosity of spirit means that we seek to give others and ourselves the benefit of the doubt. When in doubt, think the best of others and their intentions, including our own. Community of hospitality ā also patterned on the generosity of Land and the Divine Source of all Life. All who gather here become part of the community and therefore have the privilege of providing hospitality for each other. Embodied listening means tuning into the Land, each other, and the Divine with all of our senses, even beyond the five traditional senses that we learn about in kindergarten. We believe it is possible to listen with our hearing, yes, and also with our intuition, spiritual sense, heart sense, and imaginal sense, among others. Listening deeply in this way, makes way for our final stewardship principle ā
Openness to Transformation is fairly self-explanatory. Spending time on the Land and in community with all the beings for whom this is home with a generous spirit, community of hospitality and embodied listening opens us to the possibility of healing and transformation. This is our hope for all who come to Rise Above Guest House.
