Holistic Values Statement

HolisticMap is a project of the Foundation for Holistic Spirituality where we have developed our own  Values Statement.

We wrote this after a careful research process in which we looked at 200 of the world's key ethical statements. We present this statement as work in progress and the paragraphs are presented in no particular order of significance. We encourage everyone to develop and articulate their own heartfelt set of values.

Inclusion and Respect

We welcome diversity of belief, faith, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, intellect, ability and age – and value the unique contribution of every individual.

Environment

We recognise the sacred interdependence of all life and behave so as to protect the health and  sustainability of our natural environment now and for future generations.

Spirituality

We recognize spirituality to be a normal and healthy part of daily life, as people experience the wonder of nature and all creation; and we celebrate the many paths that explore this wonder and its meaning.

Relationships

At home, at work and in our communities, we are committed to respectful, loving and positive relationships.

Life Style

We maintain a life style and gain our incomes in ways that benefit and do no harm.

Global and Local Citizenship

We actively engage to build community, alleviate injustice and relieve suffering; and deplore any situation that limits the rights, development and fulfilment of any being.

Self-Responsibility

We are actively committed to managing our own health and development; and we value life as an ongoing process of learning.
