Our Values
-
Authenticity
We are real people with deep connections to a real place called Altadena. We also know that we do not represent the voices of all the people that seek refuge in our beloved community in the foothills and yet our aim is to inspire them to not accept what they are given but plant the seeds to day of the Altadena 20-years into the future.
-
Humility
We are guided by our ancestors, by the Land, plants and waters of this place. We understand that they have all the answers to solve the climate catastrophe that we are in. It is our job to listen and seek knowledge from our elders, human and non-human alike.
-
Responsibility
As a species, humans have taken far more than we have given to this planet called Earth. It is our responsibility in our lifetimes to be in reciprocal relationship with our environment.
