Next Steps

We just finished in the meeting and I have some homework to do. We are going to draft up a joint agreement that everyone involved with Urban Oasis can sign off on. Then we are going to decide who we invite to join the party - and ask them to visit PATH, a homeless project that we could learn a lot from. The ball is starting to roll....

Key Concepts

March 2008 a group of interested parties met at the inaugural Urban Oasis Community Collaborative. This is the group which will grow to being the partners in Urban Oasis represented on the Elder Council

The Key Concepts they agreed on for Urban Oasis are as follows

• Unconditional Love / Unconditional Positive Regard
• Unity
• Collaboration
• Gift Centered Approach
• Family
• Human
• Cross Agency Training
• Professional Development
• Elder Council to guide
• Awareness of Cultural / Community Context
• Nature / Beauty and Healing
