Supporting people and their freedom from want and violence is the most central aspect of what we’re in business to do. To do this, we prioritize mutuality in our relationships with everything we touch, especially the artisans, indigenous communities, and the land that work alongside us. Extraction does not serve: our communities, our ecosystem, our colleagues, and we must counter the well worn, societal habits of extraction by intending mutuality. From bumping into someone on the street to signing a manufacturing contract, our relationships are things of service.

We understand that in order to achieve mutuality we must approach everything we do with sincerity. This demands hard work in reflecting on what is true and honest for us, so that we can articulate to ourselves and communicate clearly to others what it means to be in successful relationship with us and our work.

We strive for empathy informed relationships which require radical self love and acceptance. It is from a place of understanding our own position that we can truly accept and support the experience of another. Empathy allows us to hold space for the unexpected with generosity, understanding, and optimism. Empathy is a critical component to our commitment to mutuality and sincerity, as it informs our relationship to ourselves and those we work with.

Enough is enough. One’s relationship to abundance is ever adaptable–informed relatively by experience and expectation. We strive to cultivate abundance consciousness, putting our resources into action to steward the people, things, and ideas we believe in, trusting that this abundance will, in turn, steward us.
