Feeding the Compassionate Wolf is a safe and friendly space. Our goal is to explore, discuss, and decide how we want to be — both as individuals and, perhaps more importantly, how we want to be with each other.

Culture is our living manifestation of our combined attitudes, behaviors, and beliefs. We share these so that we can more actively connect with one another while, at the same time, allowing people to opt-out if they cannot bring themselves to align themselves with our culture.

Our Beliefs

• No living thing is superior to another living thing.
• The planet is a living thing.
• We are all interconnected in this thing we call “the web of life.”
• It takes a village to raise a child, to age gracefully, and to thrive in every phase of life in between.
• The future of humanity depends on our ability to remember how to coexist cooperatively.
• Infinite growth on a finite planet is not possible. Growth for the sake of growth is the ideology of the cancer cell.
• Our lives, and the work that we do, is in service of not only now, but also future generations.
• “Others” — people who are different from us in any way — simply experience the world in different ways.
• To stop learning is to stop growing. To stop growing is to die. We chose to live.

Our Attitudes and Behaviors

• We are actively engaged.
• We’re quick to support each other. We’re here to lift each other up and encourage one another to think bigger.
• We assume good intentions and refrain from judgement. Criticism, cynicism, advice, and judgment are rampant in other communities, but they have no home here. We’re doing something different with Compassionate Wolf.
• We share generously. Each of us brings a lifetime of invaluable experiences along with a deep well of talents. Your stories and perspectives may be exactly what another member needs to hear today to solve a problem or seize an opportunity.
• We are constructive. Every member at Feeding the Compassionate Wolf agrees to look for ways to help each other think bigger, reframe challenges, and stay curious.
• We don’t spam, promote, or troll. We all have agreed to make Feeding the Compassionate Wolf a place free of overt self-promotion.
• We don’t engage in disrespectful, abusive behaviors. Such behavior will be addressed individually and privately. We reserve the right to block anyone who perpetuates a toxic atmosphere.
