Ethos & Ethics
Anchored in reverence, guided by love.
Our ethos and ethics shape how we walk alongside others - upholding trust, honouring difference, and creating space for honest, compassionate presence.
At Open Sanctuary, our ethos is rooted in reverence - for life, for difference, and for the unseen threads that connect us. We are committed to holding space with integrity, humility, and care. This means approaching all that we do with honesty, listening more than we speak, and allowing ourselves to be changed by what we learn from others.
Our ethics are not a fixed set of rules, but a living, breathing commitment to right relationship - with ourselves, with those we accompany, and with the wider world. We honour boundaries, consent, and confidentiality. We value accountability and self-reflection. And we believe that ethical practice begins not with doctrine, but with presence,
compassion, and a willingness to keep showing up with open hands and an open heart.
