A Few of the Guiding Principles
These are not rules or requirements, but rather a reflection of the shared beliefs that guide our community. They represent the spirit of Burns Village & Farm today and will continue to evolve as more voices and perspectives join in. This list is a starting point, an expression of what we value together, and a foundation we’ll keep building on.
1. Community First
We believe in creating a culture of diversity, inclusivity, and belonging, where neighbors support each other and collective well-being is valued alongside personal fulfillment. Every voice matters, and collaboration is at the heart of our decisions.
2. Resilience
We live in alignment with the land, treating it with care and reverence. Our choices, big and small, reflect a commitment to sustainability, regeneration, and living in balance.
3. Intentional Simplicity
We embrace a lifestyle rooted in simplicity, mindfulness, and purpose. Less distraction, more connection. Less consumption, more creation.
4. Growth Through Learning
We cultivate curiosity and continuous learning, about ourselves, each other, and the wider world. Exploration, creativity, and shared knowledge strengthen both individuals and community.
5. Respect & Responsibility
We honor the diversity of perspectives, experiences, and paths that each person brings. With that respect comes responsibility, for our actions, our agreements, and our shared spaces.
6. Joy in Everyday Living
We value celebration, play, and beauty as essential to life. Whether through farming, food, art, or simply gathering together, joy is a vital thread in the fabric of our community.
7. A Commitment to Gratitude
We thrive by giving as much as we receive, through skills, time, creativity, or care. Everyone has something meaningful to contribute to the whole.
