Code of Ethics
The purpose of our Ethics Policy is to support a culture of integrity, trust, and openness based on reason and fair-mindedness. The core principles of ethics are broadly shared human fundamentals, and as such, they are trans-cultural and trans-religious. These key concepts and principles help guide us in establishing what actions help or harm sentient beings and the environment in which we live.

Know-No Kata
When we face situations in our lives and emotion arises, there is also a physical reaction, a habitual contraction triggering us to fight, flee or freeze. When we retrain ourselves to recognize and interrupt that contraction, we discover we have other options. This Kata is a physical interruption and transformation of the physical/emotional contraction that we previously experienced as violent anger, shame, or dissociation.
