How we care for one another
Principle 8: we avoid blaming and shaming.
We do not waste energy or sow division by attacking people personally. We live in a system that damages us all and no one person is to blame.
Principle 3: we need a regenerative culture.
The Powerwork we do in XR can be physically, mentally and emotionally demanding. To protect ourselves, we try to integrate what we call 'regenerative culture' into our everyday behaviour. ‘Regen’, as it is commonly known in XR, means taking care of Socialourselves Media
and each other, and ensuring that we all take enough down time.
