Description
OUR CORE CONCEPTS
-Nourishment- Food has the power to gather individuals into community. A meal is oriented toward the communion of soul.
-Kinship- Our work focused on nourishing the body and the soul, so that we might relearn that we belong to each other.
-Generosity- Human connection, in relationships of mutual vulnerability, can heal us because there are riches in our poverty.
-Contemplation- Our compulsion to run from our brokenness necessitates honest silence.
-Justice- In stillness we choose to encounter our wounded selves in the presence of boundless love, so that we can foster a healing community that reforms structures.
...so that all people might share in the goods of society.
