The SPICES

Simplicity

  • Valuing our and our communities’ needs over nonessential luxuries.
  • Communicating from the heart directly.
  • Living our lives with intention.

Peace

  • Working to eliminate the causes of injustice and oppression.
  • Doing so through our committed, direct actions for those oppressed near us and around the world.

Integrity

  • Being principled in our actions despite any struggles to do otherwise.
  • Taking responsibility for our actions, even when we have good intentions.
  • Being open to new ideas and perspectives.

Community

  • Sacrificing your time and energy so that you can help others.
  • Helping others even if it inconveniences or does not directly benefit you.

Equality

  • Unlearning our unconscious biases and learning where they came from.
  • Taking action to remove barriers for those who have been disenfrancished and oppressed.
  • Sharing our resources – financial and otherwise – with both loved ones and strangers.

Stewardship

  • Showing honor and respect by caring and advocating for all people, plants, animals, lands, and waterways.
  • Taking care of the objects we use, and repairing them before buying secondhand when possible – everything we need already exists.
