We have already established a clear and compelling vision for the future as a cooperative worldwide alliance. This sets out the 'why' behind our intentions and the 'what'  behind what we want to achieve. It provides meaning and purpose to serve as a guide for making decisions and taking action. Our mission encapsulates the 'how' and our values are those we share naturally as sovereign community members.

This clarity of purpose has served us well in attracting and welcoming new members to the fold through our 'founding phase' of bringing the Community Assembly of the British Isles (CABI) and Assemblies of the World (AOW) into fruition. It has helped us establish a firm foundation in a supportive environment across our 'aurora network' that will continue to nurture our blossoming future together.

As we have tipped into the 'development and transition' phase of our organic evolvement, we must now keep the momentum going by building on what we have created and working together as a team of many teams. We have three years to establish 18,400 assemblies which means there is still much work to be done.

This is why it's a good time to revisit our shared vision, mission and values and start thinking about how we are going to realise our goals now and in the years to come.

It means it's time to abandon the old system as best we can with more means and support available for us to do so. We can then focus our hearts, minds and energy on designing a new way of life for ourselves, for our beautiful home on planet Earth and for future generations - from the ground up.

Our vision

Our vision for CABI was our starting point for the website together with our mission and values. These have recently been updated to include our association with our parallel network, Assemblies of the World. These value statements run through the heart of what we do and resonate with all our members as something we aspire to achieve 'for and by the people.'

To establish a cooperative network of services and knowledge-flow for self-sufficient Community Assemblies and Community Assembly Hubs across the British Isles, and in association with our parallel network, Assemblies of the World, in support of our local, regional and wider communities.

Everything rests on establishing an active network of Community Assemblies here and overseas. Enlisting our 'founding assemblies' has been our first priority which has involved many hours of hard work and resolve from everyone involved.

We send out thanks all our Founding Facilitators, Emissaries, CHI Practitioners, CABI members and International Friends who have made the commitment to abide by Community Law and take action in their communities when most would not during the early stages.

Our mission

Our mission focuses on developing our directories and services as we build our membership, liaise with potential members, create helpful content, send out updates, answer enquiries, develop our framework and deliver our services. We are here to support members who are actively joining together, learning from each other, and pooling skills and resources to establish the best ways to serve their communities and the wider world.

 To provide a platform for publishing and sharing the knowledge and experience gained by community members and local groups working together in harmony for the good of all. To progress the growth of our network here and overseas and provide support for local people and their community facilitators.

More of us are taking on the mission to play our part in making connections, organising activities and making things happen in our communities. We now have the knowledge, information and resources we need to forge ahead and build on the hard work invested and progress we have achieved so far.

Our values

Our values encompass our intention to work in the best interests of our members, and humanity as a whole, at all times. Our values underpin our intentions, help us to build trust and enable us to provide an equitable, friendly, kind, respectful and effective service to each other and those who depend on us.

Working together to build caring and motivating cultures founded on shared values where everyone is treated fairly and supported to make a valued contribution to community objectives according to Natural Law and in harmony with the values and wider aims of the Community Assembly of the British Isles and Assemblies of the World. 

These top-line value statements describe the ideal from which we can establish a definition of the ethical values we commonly share. This can be done by using an original academic model for 'motivating community cultures' as described below.
