Individual practice is the foundation of our mutual freedom. We're here to support one another in exploration, experimentation, and development. These are the ways we're re-shaping ourselves.

1. We take responsibility for recognising the perspectives and shapings that inform how and what we build.
2. As technology builders and as members of the collective, we are neither servants to nor arbiters of what people need. We are collaborators, here for our collective and mutual liberation.
3. We take actions that affect others after and as we listen, learn, and hold others’ perspectives with care. We centre the margins, holding and being those who have been culturally marginalized.
4. We recognise our own intersectionality and see where our own identities have shaped us in different configurations of power.
5. We look for and take compassionate responsibility for our own dominance that can show up in the way we treat ourselves and others.
6. We are open and transparent about our agendas and our learning. We don't hoard knowledge or own ideas.
7. We look for opportunities to collaborate with others who share the practice. We don't see others as competitors or compare ourselves with others.
8. We are moving to disinvest from structures, systems, technologies, and organizations that promote or practice domination. We support alternative approaches. We name where we continue to participate as a practice of noticing our entanglement.
9. We respect the container and don’t appropriate others’ experience or share their stories.
10. We take the time necessary to develop trustful relations, even at the expense of growth or efficiency.
11. We see every being as valuable and worthy of love and respect, even those whose beliefs directly oppose our own. We set boundaries that do not exclude, but give us enough space to maintain our sense of love .
12. We use money as a means of collaboration. We don’t use money as a form of dominance. See Belonging Builders: Money
