Wonder
We believe that ultimately life is an adventure. We seek moments of awe. Spirituality is a part of who we are and business itself. We orient ourselves with nature’s pace -- sometimes slow, sometimes fast, seeking to find a sense of flow as a guide for our experience. We cultivate simplicity, humility and gratitude as our journey unfolds. Wonder leads to wisdom.
Equity
We seek to find equity in all aspects of work. We practice inclusivity and encourage each other to do our work around bias, prejudice and cultural shadows. We seek to be a collective of many backgrounds, orientations and ways of living. We stand as allies in the world and speak out and act against systemic oppression and white supremacy. We honor the dignity of all life. Diversity makes us stronger, joyful
and wise.
Authenticity
We value essential transparency and rigorous honesty. We are real and speak openly. We practice revealing all the parts of ourselves, including those in shadow. We honor the expression of the heart as well as the head. Being authentic means being in integrity with who we say we are. We take responsibility for our experience and impact on others. Through shared vulnerability we honor each of our unique identities.
Community
We thrive together, and our history comes from deep relationships with each other. We value collaboration: active inquiry and advocacy, joining together to co-create. We practice connecting, understanding and acting in ways that foster a sense of trust. We support and are invested in each other. We take personal responsibility in keeping Evolution a healthy place to work and thrive. We feel pride in what we are building together.
Growth
We are in evolution, at all times, in all things. We practice what we preach. We are continuously learning and growing as individuals, in relationships and as a business. We feel safe to take risks and make mistakes. We are always healing and becoming more whole. We seek to support each other to discover and embrace the gift that we are in the world. We take the road less traveled: a lifelong commitment to self reflect, learn and grow.
Wisdom
We seek not just knowledge, but wisdom. We live the spirit of inquiry and questions. We seek depth and insight into the nature of life itself. We find that wisdom lives embodied in the heart, the mind and spirit. We honor and seek transformational experiences. We seek to find holistic solutions, orienting to the greater good. We see wisdom as something that is acquired both from self inquiry as well as attained through education and study. Wisdom leads back to wonder.
