BAD FENCE GOOD FENCE HUMAN RESOURCES & RECOVERY is philosophical and physical, both and/or either. It is a mental place to center oneself. It is a chain of year round summer camps for companies and people, alike and different, to heal together. It is urged along by the desire to answer the employee unhappiness question that hangs like an almost wet cloud above all of our industries. "Bad Fence Good Fence" is a reference to the below poem, and the line "Good fences make good neighbors."
The founder provided this in-process explanation on November 10th, 2023:
HUMAN RESOURCES AND RESOURCES FOR HUMANS
The former refers to HR in a business setting. I’ve been working on a model based on a DDO (a deliberately developmental organization). This model combines literature on both organizational development and personal healing. The latter refers to resources for mental health and healing. I’ve started with my own experience with bipolar disorder, with plans to open it up. The dream is to get other testimonials to pair with education.
This two-fold task is time consuming and the future is amorphous but I find comfort in Mary Oliver’s line:
“Things take the time they take. Don’t worry.”
CENTER AND CAMP
It is a psychologically centered state of mind but it is also a center, a place to heal. This is personal, professional, for couples and companies, anyone. Togetherness ranges from intimate to corporate using different applications of the "Collaborative Navigation" methodology and the "Process is Product" model. It is HR and it is resources for mental health and healing. It is a retreat center and a year-round summer camp for lifelong learners and employers and employees. We want to make people happy at work, to grow and grow, for the long term.
Here is a quote that backbones a part of the philosophy from Hubert Joy's The Heart of Business: Leadership Principles for the Next Era of Capitalism:
"...We urgently need to reinvent capitalism from the inside out. The good news is, we can...I have developed...an approach that lays out the architecture for a refoundation of business and capitalism. it builds on the wisdom received from Jean-Marie Descarpentries and many others along the way...this approach is based on a seismic shift from profit to purpose: I believe that business is fundamentally about purpose, people, and human relationships--not profit, at least not primarily. Companies are not soulless entities. They are human organizations made of individuals who work together toward a common purpose. When that common purpose aligns with their own individual searches for meaning, it can unleash a kind of human magic that results in outstanding performance."
Ok, that's all FOR NOW! The rest is coming.

Something there is that doesn’t love a wall,
That sends the frozen-ground-swell under it,
And spills the upper boulders in the sun;
And makes gaps even two can pass abreast.
The work of hunters is another thing:
I have come after them and made repair
Where they have left not one stone on a stone
But they would have the rabbit out of hiding,
To please the yelping dogs. The gaps I mean,
No one has seen them made or heard them made,
But at spring mending-time we find them there.
I let my neighbor know beyond the hill;
And on a day we meet to walk the line
And set the wall between us once again.
We keep the wall between us as we go.
To each the boulders that have fallen to each.
And some are loaves and some so nearly balls
We have to use a spell to make them balance:
‘Stay where you are until our backs are turned!’
We wear our fingers rough with handling them.
Oh, just another kind of out-door game,
One on a side. It comes to little more:
There where it is we do not need the wall:
He is all pine and I am apple orchard.
My apple trees will never get across
And eat the cones under his pines, I tell him.
He only says, ‘Good fences make good neighbors.’
Spring is the mischief in me, and I wonder
If I could put a notion in his head:
‘Why do they make good neighbors? Isn’t it
Where there are cows? But here there are no cows.
Before I built a wall I’d ask to know
What I was walling in or walling out,
And to whom I was like to give offense.
Something there is that doesn't love a wall,
That wants it down.’ I could say ‘Elves’ to him,
But it’s not elves exactly, and I’d rather
He said it for himself. I see him there
Bringing a stone grasped firmly by the top
In each hand, like an old-stone savage armed.
He moves in darkness as it seems to me,
Not of woods only and the shade of trees.
He will not go behind his father’s saying,
And he likes having thought of it so well
He says again, ‘Good fences make good neighbors.’
