Angelica Village Values
We believe that individual and families who have experienced the trauma of war, poverty, racism and displacement are best restored through a mutual aid community that provides sustained support, without restrictions of time limits.
We believe that a community of diverse individuals across race, class, gender/ gender identity, ability, and experiences promotes a model for healing in the world. We support equity and inclusion as practices of the community.
We recognize that our planet is in the midst of multiple environmental crises, caused by humankind. We have an urgent responsibility to address these crises on the land that we steward and address inequities in access to basic resources such as housing, food, and education.
We acknowledge that our traumas mirror the traumas of the earth, and we affirm that our individual and collective healing is dependent on the healing of the earth.
We believe that social/emotional/mental health is only possible with an intentional community of support that uses a trauma informed approach to encourage resiliency.
We believe that community partners, persons who give substantial time and resources to the community through attention to the daily life and work of the community are more than volunteers; they sustain the reciprocity of community life and healing needed in the world.
