A Manifesto

This is our bid for our local pocket of reality

to come out of the era of disembodied atomization

into a value-aligned network of interdependence.

We found each other in the forest of the internet,

but it’s no place to root.

Cascade Camp is a clearing where we go to practice what it means to belong.

Yes, it’s a little uncomfortable outside,

unfiltered, uncovered, undistracted.

But that shared discomfort is the soil where real connection grows.

We’re becoming people who can sit in paradox,

soften without collapsing,

and build local culture rooted in trust and difference.
