Engaged for peace and reconsiliation
Guided by the vision of unity in diversity, we work for reconciliation, justice and peace. We practice mindfulness in small and large ways to contribute with our gifts and strengths to the growth of unity and love in the world.
Diversity is our richness
We are a spiritual community, ecumenical and interreligious. We draw strength, inspiration and encouragement from the sources of our own traditions. We learn from each other and enrich each other in our diversity.
Way in and way out
