Equity Commitment:
The staff and trainers at TMI are actively working to develop intercultural competence in order to create and maintain an inclusive environment, equally accessible for all humans, where we recognize and appreciate patterns of cultural difference and commonality in our own and in other cultures. We aim to be adaptable by being able to shift our cultural perspectives and change our behavior in culturally appropriate and authentic ways. In order to manifest this intention, we will:
Actively seek out and fully engage with guidance regarding diversity, equity and inclusion and also anti-bias / anti-racism.
Commit to personal growth through being curious about, reflecting upon and understanding our own and other cultures’ values and practices.
Prepare a consciously hospitable environment for all cultures, especially those cultures that are marginalized.
Root out and remove obstacles, including implicit and explicit biases, from our policies and practices in order to meaningfully increase access to all aspects of our training center, especially for Black, Indigenous and People of Color and others with overlapping intersectionalities.
