Using peacekeeper teachings and the call of creative artists to build community, the Black Indian Inn was founded upon a set of nine core Principles of Right Relations, which governs our interactions and relations, as well as those who visit the Inn.

Those Principles are:

  • 1 Speak truth;
  • 2 Speak of the good qualities of others;
  • 3 Be a confidant…say nothing behind one’s back you have not said to their face to face;
  • 4 Turn aside the veil of anger; no violence is tolerated;
  • 5 Waste not the bounty, want not;
  • 6 Respect all life;
  • 7 No harm;
  • 8 Harbor no thought of an angry nature;
  • 9 Do it now; if you see what needs to be done, do it.
