Belonging is the act of extending beyond ourselves. It means using our senses, connecting to nature, people, and place.

Renewal is bringing to life a fullness which had been lacking. The earth, the soil, water, and many earth resources are in need for renewal. So too is the human spirit with the pace of life driven by fast-paced technology. As we renew our connections to nature and to others, we will also renew ourselves.

Joy is beyond happiness. It's a feeling of fullness with a freedom of expression and interconnection.
