MANIFESTO

Lovely Village is a space for belonging. We are family.

Here, we learn to love ourselves, so that we might love each other well. We value generosity, we always have something to give that will benefit the whole. We commit to believing the best in others, to remain hopeful, even when it hurts. Our stories are sacred; we honor even the broken pieces, and seek reconciliation with God, with ourselves, and with others.  We use our personal power to impact the world for good. We know that when we show up, we grow up. Our failures are our teachers and merely proof that we have tried. We will rise. We believe love is serious business and business can be lovely. Work, rest and play are equal parts of recovery. We trust that transformation is a process and we cannot control anything or anyone but ourselves. We chase beauty and joy so that we remember who we truly are.  We are grateful people, for we have found each other.  

Together we will awaken hope and empower change.
