Creating Sanctuary
Submitted by: Roy Kearse, VP of Residential Treatment, Samaritan Village
I want to tell you something that’s really sensible
It’s about adopting SANCTUARY and its Seven Principles.
I have suddenly got a real yearning
To increase my knowledge of social learning.
I’m also asking everyone to increase their ability
When it comes to practicing social responsibility.
You may ask, how can we do both?
Well that comes from learning and growth.
Tell the truth, don’t engage in hypocrisy
Open things up by creating an environment of democracy.
Don’t be resistant or practice belligerence
Learn to exercise emotional intelligence.
Open your mouth and break the silence
This is one way to promote nonviolence.
If you do this we will increase everyone’s education
And hopefully this will create better communication.
