Questions
If your response is "NO" to any question please state your reasons.
D. GOVERNANCE
Vision
The NewEarth Laguna Sanctuary Bacalar governance vision is one where outside influence, rules, policies, and policing, although are common practice currently, is not necessary as we voluntarily agree to live and unite as a community with respect, care, compassion, and to be personally responsible for our actions, words, opinions, beliefs, and views. Historically we have unknowingly, habitually, and collectively relied on rules, orders and systems imposed on society to resolve conflict. This defaulting practice ultimately masked our awareness and confidence in our inner skills which equip each of us to resolve conflict or turmoil whether within, or with others. In the NewEarth Laguna Sanctuary Bacalar environment we no longer honour this as our defaulting behavior or response. If the parties feel an intervention is necessary, it is their mutual choice of the intervention process.
Mission
Self-Governance becomes the key to a harmonious environment. When each party is committed to being responsible for their actions, words, and mindful, win-win relationships result. Peace, Joy, happiness, and serenity prevails.
