Thus we now have two “campuses” – one in Seattle and one at Sahale. Community
               members and friends
               easily travel between the
               two locations for
               retreats, cultural and

               training events and
               programs, work parties,
               and for recreation and
               friendship. Our culture
               includes gatherings for
               women, men, families,
               couples, and a group for
               people over 60 with the aim to support and learn.

               I appreciate the emphasis we have on learning in action, for example, taking on a
               leadership role with the understanding that we would learn more about how to
               relate with openness, how to work well with conflict and developing agreements,
               and the skills of developing a community that would sustain over time. Because

               our community places value on leader development and learning about group and
               organizational dynamics, we have confidence that we can continue into the
               future and that we are learning something of value to offer others.

               of myself:

                   •  By giving myself fully to the process of transformation through the

                   •  By honoring leadership in others as a method to develop the leader in
                       myself.

                   •  By taking responsibility for my unique and significant role in the world;
                   •  By acknowledging the inner and interconnectedness of all creation, thus
                       being safe and at home in the universe.
