Haven Community Village
The Foundation
The Legend of the Sacred Circle is at the foundation of our mission. Five values that build trust. Five agreements that hold the container. Five principles that guide how we listen and speak. Every circle and gathering that happens at Haven begins with this document. It is read aloud, received, and carried into whatever work unfolds from there. If you want to understand what Haven is about at its core, start here.
