ONE|Boulder Culture Codes

The "HOW" we play together. ONE|Boulder Principles.

These "Cultural Codes" are the framework for "how" we play together. In saying "yes" to playing The Game, you agree to practice these cultural principles.

Embody Deep Presence & Attunement

Presence is the willingness to be with what is going on inside of us in each moment, no matter how uncomfortable. Attunement is to be in connection with (willing to feel) the other and the world around us. Both presence and attunement take courage and are key to building true coherence in relationships.

In saying yes to playing, you agree to practice presence and attunement with self and other.

Act with Integrity

To be, act and communicate with integrity is to remain rooted in one’s practice of presence and attunement through deep listening to the self and to the world around us. It is to be honest with where we are on our own path of development and in our moment to moment choices.

In saying yes to playing, you agree to act with integrity by trusting your truth, and be radically honest with yourself and others.

Be Transparent

Transparency is a reflection of the authentic you that exists in current reality. To be transparent is to be yourself in connection with others and in the world around you and to show up vulnerably even when you feel afraid of being seen. In saying yes to playing, you agree to bring your whole-self to the game. To be in transparent communication with your current reality in every connection and project you choose to be a part of.

Take Responsibility

Responsibility is to take ownership of our own commitments and creations, our experience and reactions. It is the willingness to mend any impact we have in our relationships as we grow and create together.

In saying yes to playing, you agree to be honest with yourself and to take responsibility for your own reality, for following through with your commitments and agreements, or finding a replacement to fulfill them and own any impact that may be needed in the process.

Respect One Another’s Differences

Respecting another is to not just tolerate other perspectives, beliefs and diversities but to also engage in differing viewpoints, with a commitment to engaging in healthy discussion and the development of holistic worldview. It is to fully accept another without attempting to change their way of being, seeing or believing.

In saying yes to playing, you agree to respect the differences of others within this community and to be willing to stay open-minded and open-hearted in connection with those who have different perspectives and beliefs than your own.

Honor Choice

Choice is how we claim what it is that we want and do not want. To honor choice is to follow through with the choices we have made as we re-evaluate and choose or re-choose what is right for us, even if that means that our choices may change. To honor choice is to also respect other people’s choices, with the awareness that we are all making the best possible choice or decision we are capable of in that moment.

In saying yes to playing, you agree to make choices that serve your highest development and to honor the choices of others. You agree to use the tools of integrity, presence and transparency to make new choices when they arise, and to take appropriate, responsible action if or when your choices change.

Learn from Life & Experience

Learning is a continual cycle of increasing ability. By remaining open to the teachings that are available to you in every moment, you are playing a role in the consistent growth and evolution of the ecosystem. This is a Culture of Mentorship. There are no experts. Everyone has something to teach and something to learn. To learn from life and experience is to welcome feedback as a part of one’s path to highest excellence.

In saying yes to playing, you agree to embrace yourself as both student and teacher. You agree to welcome new experiences and to give and receive feedback.

Develop Leadership

Leadership first starts with one's ability to lead the self, then from a place of in embodied action, a leader will inspire others to learn the tools to lead themselves. To lead, one must be willing to meet life from a place of adaptivity, vulnerability and responsibility. Leaders are committed to refining their gifts, skills, knowledge and wisdom, devoted to their growth and development. Leaders are willing to make mistakes, get messy and be transparent in their process.

In saying yes to playing, you agree to commit to the development of your own leadership and to supporting others in their own leadership growth.

Practice The Art of Giving & Receiving

Giving & receiving is an art and it is vital to maintaining balance in community. To give and receive in equal measure is what creates abundance and well-being for ourselves, each other and all life.

In saying yes to playing, you agree to take responsibility to ask for and receive acknowledgement and give acknowledgment to others.

Commitment to Serve [All Life]

A commitment to serve is both personal and collective. It is to orient the self to the whole and to take action from an awareness of one’s interconnectedness. To serve all life, is to serve the self (first) while still being conscious of how our self service assists others.

In saying yes to this game, you agree to be of service to self, to others, this project and to all of life (when applicable).

Celebrate & Play

Play is an essential component to any creative endeavor. It is how we remember to enjoy the process and allow ourselves to get messy when we are learning something new. Through play one returns to life as celebration and it is through celebration that one gives thanks and gratitude from an open heart.

In saying yes to this game, you agree to remember that life is a play, to give gratitude when inspired and to celebrate the journey along the way.
