Dawal is a space for sharing, built upon the values of Respect, Kindness, and Solidarity. Together, we are committed to maintaining a peaceful and welcoming environment for all participants.

Respect: For Our Space and Each Other

Living together starts with a deep respect for all living things and the environment that hosts us.

• Environmental Stewardship: We care for the nature around us, animals, plants, and the land, as well as the shared tools and objects within our ecosystem.
• Universal Dignity: We welcome individuals from all walks of life who share our commitment to the equal dignity of all human beings.
• Safety and Inclusion: To maintain a peaceful atmosphere, we do not tolerate speech or behaviors that promote hatred, discrimination, or the exclusion of others.
• Shared Values: We welcome diverse beliefs and adhere to the laws and collective rules that protect our community.
• Thoughtful Presence: We make space for one another and value silence when appropriate, respecting both our members and the local wildlife.

Mutual Kindness: In Our Communication

We believe that clear, non-judgmental communication is essential for a healthy community.

• Active Listening: We ensure every voice is heard without judgment, staying aligned with the purpose of our space.
• Sincerity and Integrity: We speak with clarity and honesty. We aim for transparency in our intentions, practicing the patience required for a “yes” or “no” to be genuine.
• Constructive Disagreement: Differences of opinion are welcomed as a way to enrich our perspective. When disagreements arise, we remain friendly and follow our agreed-upon steps to find a peaceful resolution.

Solidarity: Through Common Contribution

We all contribute based on our individual capacities, ensuring the sustainability of our project.

• Diverse Contributions: Every contribution is valued, whether it is financial support, supplies, specialized skills, or manual labor.
• Mutual Aid: We practice a sliding scale for contributions. This allow those with more resources to support those with fewer, ensuring the space remains accessible to all.
