Our Values…

At the 8 Shields Institute we celebrate our Gratitude for all the gifts of this planet.

We offer our deepest respect and honor to all the forms of our planet: animals, plants, stones, and waters

We honor and celebrate People ~ children, elders, ancestors and the generations to come.

The following Values drive our interactions personally, internally and with the populations we serve:

• facilitate Inclusiveness by welcoming and hearing the diverse voices of our human and natural communities
• strive for Accountability, Communication, Feedback, and clear Agreements
• care for our world by striving to leave it better than we found it, modeling Stewardship
• increase both inner and outer Awareness by undertaking and facilitating personal tracking ~ with transparency, with kindness, sensitivity, and forgiveness
• facilitating Understanding through sharing and communicating the big picture in order to reach unity
