CCPE Core Values

These are values that we aim to live by, reflecting ideals that we strive towards in all that we do and are.

1. The transpersonal perspective means recognising that there is a spiritual dimension underpinning everything.  This is at the core of CCPE’s work and reason for being, and is the container within which all aspects of our lives are held.

2. The spirit and ethos of CCPE are characterised by humanity, compassion and heart-centeredness.

3. Authenticity and individuality are highly valued at CCPE.  The unique qualities and gifts of an individual’s deeper nature (soul or individual spirit) are valued and nurtured above all and held within the greater whole.

4. CCPE aims to be open-minded and inclusive, respecting and honouring differences in religious, ideological, political, cultural and social beliefs and attitudes.  We welcome people from all backgrounds and walks of life. 

5. CCPE aims to foster spiritual liberty, freedom of expression, respect and tolerance; and to provide a safe and inclusive container for the CCPE community.  We value the inner enrichment that arises through open and respectful engagement with different perspectives and experiences.

6. In our engagement with the important issues highlighted by the Black Lives Matter movement, we seek not only to address fearlessly any external manifestations of prejudice, bias or injustice, but also, and crucially, we seek deep understanding through our commitment to working internally with our own shadow, shining light on the ways in which each of us may be unconsciously blind, causing hurt or injustice to other human souls.  

7. We seek to see and appreciate one another fully, with dignity, respect and love, through the eyes of the heart, and to recognise and affirm the inter-connectedness of us all.

8. CCPE is committed to protecting future transmission of its values through making policy and resource allocation decisions that protect the identity and integrity of the organisation.
