Intention with these agreements

We hope that these principles will foster cohesion, trust and safety in the community. And as an evolving and co-creative space, we continue to refine them and are open to your suggestions 🙂

We have emerged/come up with them them by ourselves, and at the same time see them as in alignment with universal principles all human beings could easily agree with (we hope).

These are the agreements that structure our membrane - to keep us together and have a healthy boundary as on organization.

1. Self-Inclusion

The principle of Self-Inclusion represents a radical departure from traditional organizational boundaries. This approach empowers individuals to determine their own level of participation and engagement, creating a naturally flowing and organic community structure. By removing traditional gatekeeping mechanisms and replacing them with self-determined participation, the organization creates a uniquely responsive and adaptable social ecosystem. The reciprocal concept of self-exclusion elegantly handles membership transitions without creating confrontational dynamics.

2. Personal Freedom

Personal Freedom embodies advanced understanding of interpersonal dynamics through its biomimicry-inspired membrane metaphor. This principle goes beyond simple boundary-setting to recognize that personal boundaries are dynamic, semi-permeable interfaces that can be both protective and healing. By explicitly acknowledging the potential for boundary repair within the community space, this principle creates a therapeutic organizational environment that supports personal growth while maintaining individual autonomy.

3. Co-Creation

Co-Creation represents a sophisticated understanding of collective responsibility that transcends traditional top-down or consensus-based models. By framing participation as a collaborative responsibility to create desired experiences, this principle activates intrinsic motivation and distributed leadership. It effectively bridges individual agency with collective outcomes, creating a self-regulating system that naturally aligns personal and group interests.

4. Self-Responsibility

Self-Responsibility operates as a cornerstone principle that contextualizes individual agency within the broader framework of interconnectedness. This nuanced approach resolves the apparent paradox between individual autonomy and community interdependence by positioning self-initiation as the primary mechanism for need fulfillment, while acknowledging the relational context in which these needs exist and are met.

5. Support

Support functions as a crucial balancing principle that complements self-responsibility. By explicitly encouraging the expression of needs and desires, this principle helps prevent the potential isolation or excessive self-reliance that might arise from self-responsibility alone. It creates a permission field for vulnerability and connection while maintaining alignment with personal autonomy.
