· Playfulness & Creativity – In a world where we often take our selves too seriously, we use playfulness and creativity to bring light and joy into our lives.

· Freedom – Freedom is fundamental to living our life’s purpose. We promote freedom by encouraging each other to place our individual callings and journeys above societal norms and expectations.
