What We Value

The Ararat Project readily declares our belief in the inherent, timeless dignity and value of all human beings. We believe in fostering human connection and healing over the rampant division and eye for an eye injury so prevalent to our time. We believe in this because of our belief in the importance of:
- Language
- Community
- Authenticity

Language

We believe in the importance of language as the bedrock of human connection. We believe that as human beings we ought to seriously understand the words we use everydy.

Community

We believe in the importance of community as the key expression of human connection. We hope to foster a new community of our own to heal the individual wounds that each of us carry from our wounded society.

Authenticity

We believe in the importance of authenticity, especially in an age of such profound anxiety. Being our authentic selves is deeply important to building trust and community, even when it is not always pretty to "be real."
