Code of Ethics

Preamble

This code is and always will be evolving based on input from the community, conveniently democratized through our unified LISTINing campaigns. We welcome input from anyone at any time. There is a form at the bottom of this page where you can ask us questions or make suggestions to make these ethics the best they can be. This input will be made available to review at least once a year compiling all input into a voting platform for members to vote on changes to this code. This is a model for a self-governing system that we see eventually influencing policy and decision-making once we have INLISTed a critical mass of people.

Aspects of this code are INTENTIONALLY shared with other traditions as a gesture of solidarity and upliftment for those who have pioneered this new system of living in harmony with all that is. We love learning about new codes, so please also share those in the form below. We welcome and encourage you to adapt and use these ethics in your own pursuits.

HELP US MAKE THESE ETHICS EVEN BETTER

Fill out the form below indicating whether you have a question, suggestion, or example of another tradition’s ethics.

Please send multiple forms if you have input in more than one of those categories.

If you are suggesting a change or new ethic, we will include that suggestion (as long as it doesn’t contradict any existing ethics) in our member-wide voting process. Look out for an email from us prior to voting to clarify language as responding to that email is necessary for your suggestion to be included in the voting process.

Thank you for your care!
