Turn Vision into Action

“Alma” means “soul” in Spanish, and that’s our starting point. We approach uncomfortable, messy, challenging, complex, and vulnerable realities with courage and kindness. We aim to be honest, to be humble, to work from depth and possibility. Our guiding principle is love.

We seek to model the world we imagine. With each other, we build connection, demonstrate respect, and practice care. With our work, we continuously review and adapt what we offer and how we offer it. With clients, we support healing and evolution. We do our best to be authentic, responsive, and accountable.

We strive to build a world where all people are seen, treated with dignity, and free to express their full selves. Refusing to oversimplify the subtleties of human experience, we recognize and attend to the compounding effects of oppression on the identities of each person and group. We appreciate difference and work to build shared understanding.

We express our values in our lives, relationships, and communities. We strive to define and articulate the ideals of diversity, equity, inclusion, belonging, and justice, integrating them into our actions and ways of being. We have been involved in this endeavor for decades and are committed to engaging with this work as a lifelong journey.

We are dedicated to having a practical, meaningful impact. We aim to be accessible for a range of budgets and types of organizations, and for people of different abilities and learning styles. We ask for and integrate feedback. Offering resources, building capacity, and sharing a lifelong commitment to our own learning, we begin with self-study and inner work as a necessary foundation for collaboration, community education, and transformation.
