In Our Practice We Value Psychological Health

In our practice we value psychological health. That means we value a practice of honouring and owning our own process. We endeavour to pause before we say something regretful. We learn to acknowledge our emotional temperature and to regulate it.

We also focus on what our values are. What do each of us, from our varied collective background carry with us? What serves us from the past and what is clearly important for us to let go of? We give ourselves the opportunity to separate what is important from what is simply not. We value this logical process of self enquiry, we learn to trust each other so that we feel valued enough to speak our truth, and courageous enough to listen. In this way we become more responsible for who we are and what we get to offer that is uniquely creative and exclusively us. We are a work in process, a spiraling circumambulation towards wholeness instead of linear development. On faith we accept that all aspects of our journey are powerful and revelatory.

In our practice I encourage us all to be our best self. That means sometimes we go where we didn't think we could. The practice itself is a container that allows our process in a way that is safe and connected to what is good. It challenges us to be ourself whole-heartedly. If we practice with discipline and discerning attention then we trust that we will stand in harmony and wholeness together.
