EoL’s Values

Accountability (builds agency)

Accountability is the bridge between harm and healing. It asks: How can we show up with more integrity, more listening, more care—even when it’s uncomfortable? How are we avoiding my own power and agency? How are we recreating systems of harm that we seek to dismantle?

We believe in the ongoing practice of self-reflection, the taking responsibility for our power and repair after generative conflict.

In our company culture and relationships, accountability begins with fair compensation. We believe the first condition for accountability is that people have access to a materially dignified life—so that abundance can ripple outward into the systems of care around them.

Applied and embodied, that means:

• Paying people fairly for their labor, time, and creativity.

• Offering honest, transparent, and caring feedback—not only when something goes wrong, but to celebrate, encourage, and support growth.

• Investing in people’s development and creative genius, not just extracting their skills.

• Honoring agency and boundaries, knowing that people work best when they have ownership over their time, energy, and contributions.

• Learning from the exploitative work cultures many of us have experienced—so we don’t recreate harm in this working space, while still honoring the work.

• Asking: How do we create a workplace that sustains people, not just demands from them?

• Showing up to the work—even, and especially, when it’s hard.

Accountability, for us, is about mutual respect, dignity, and sustainability.
Accountability supports abundance, because when we’re no longer stuck in survival—gripped by fear or forced to hoard what we have—we create space for self-reflection, accountability, and repair when harm happens.

• Agency (builds abundance)

We honor each person’s inner authority—their ability to make choices rooted in dignity, clarity, and self-trust.

We reject control-based leadership and extractive work models.

Instead, we build structures that center autonomy, creativity, and consent.

While some hierarchy exists, it is not about domination—it’s about coordination. Each person is trusted and supported to become an expert in their own domain, trusted to lead with clarity, transparency and care. 

In our work and collaborations, agency means saying yes and no with integrity, and co-creating from a place of alignment, not obligation.

• Abundance (builds agency)

We believe there is enough—for rest, for joy, for resource, for care.

We reject the logic of scarcity that capitalism imposes on time, labor, and value. Scarcity doesn’t create sustainability—it only begets more scarcity.

Abundance, for us–although it starts with money—is also about spaciousness, time, mutual support, and trusting that liberation grows when we invest in people, not just products.

We build with the long arc in mind, cultivating cultures of generosity, reciprocity, and thriving.

Finally, when we know that everything we love will die, generosity (giving from love and not for love) stops being a virtue. It becomes a lifeline.

The Culture we cultivate in EoL:

• Fair compensation

• Trust, over time (which means we value long-term relationships)

• Care & Connection ( over Control)

• Purpose

• Hard work, dedication and commitment toward our abolitionist values and mission

• Rest & creative integration

• Clear goals

• Transparency/honesty

• Feedback (failure is feedback)

The way we applied this Culture is by constantly questioning what has “always been done this way”, clear communication, boundaries and a lot of failure (trying is our motto).
