Shama Collective, Llc

Shama Collective Mission and Vision Henri Nouwen said,"The work of healing isn't about the right thing to do or say but about creating the space within oneself where the stories of others can be held." Shama Collective mission is to create space for stories to be heard and held for the purpose of healing in order to live out our distinct and collective craft to grow beauty. Our vision is also distinct and collective: 1 We strive to individually and cooperatively listen, hear and respond to the voice of Love, equipping others to a life of play and calling. 2 We work to create a space where each person works uniquely but collectively out of their story and gifts as prophet, priest and king. 3 We live from a collaborative place of friendship, vulnerability and creativity. 4 Through this space we work toward training, teaching, supervising, counseling and attending to the whole person toward integration and ongoing healing of the individual but far greater corporate body, heart and mind. 5 We train and teach but with the humility of learning from each other and our clients. Further, we exist to grow the body of Christ toward deeper life in freedom, creativity and beauty. We work as an organism that is not stagnant but becoming, growing and developing. We do not work from a hierarchy but instead recognize that each person’s contribution stands on its own yet is further incorporated into a family where our total power and strength is far greater than any individual alone. We work as a unit. We teach each other and have the humility to learn from each other. We work out of our unique individuality as well as far greater as a body.
