Note: one sixteen calverly aspires to be a welcoming and loving space for all humans. As a community, we recognize that this aspiration is a work in progress and takes intention, humility, kindness, commitment, vulnerability, a spirit of exploration and a willingness to make (and forgive) mistakes in service of individual & collective wholeness. Please reflect on your personal alignment with these values and intentions before (as well as during & after) making use of the space or taking part in offerings.
