The Shift Network views inclusion and collective responsibility as key elements in creating a world that works for all. We fully support and honor all of Earth’s peoples, which is reflected in our programs and philanthropic impact (see below).

We celebrate the spiritual inheritance of every global culture and believe that by studying and honoring multiple lineages and diverse cultures, we gain an enriched global understanding about what it means to be a human being at this time on our planet, and how we can live in the most conscious and inclusive way possible.

We value the contributions of ALL people, regardless of race, culture, gender, age, spiritual belief, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation, size, shape, and ability.

We believe each person, as a nexus of identity and experience, has an important perspective to contribute to our wholeness. We thus reject and move away from any and all acts of racism, injustice, and prejudice.

As a company, we are in a process of learning and growing to ensure that we deepen our own cultural humility and competence within our staff members, which in turn impacts our programming. As we learn, we refine our processes and offerings to be fully aligned with our intentions.

We tangibly expressed these principles via the sessions in our 2020 Transforming Racism Series
