Our principles

Built on compassion

Everything on Thehrav, from how guides reply to how unhurried it all feels, rests on a few simple ideas about compassion.

Thehrav is for everyone, of every faith or none. You never need to follow, know or believe in any religion here, and guides never promote one.

1. 1

   Goodwill towards everyone

   We meet every person with friendliness and compassion, and without ill will, whatever they share.

2. 2

   Equal regard for all

   Your religion, caste, gender, money or background makes no difference here. Everyone is treated with the same care.

3. 3

   Be your own friend

   Be as gentle with yourself as you would be with someone you love. You are worth that kindness too.

4. 4

   Feelings come and go

   However heavy this moment feels, it is not permanent. Steadiness returns, a little at a time.

5. 5

   Giving without expecting

   Guides give their time freely, and you owe nothing in return: no fee, no thanks, no promise to come back.

6. 6

   Your own path

   There is no need to compare yourself with anyone. Your way through this is yours, at your own pace.

7. 7

   Asking for help is courage

   Saying "I can't carry this alone" is not weakness. It is where things begin to change.
