Carr Davis Conviviality (CDC) is a proposed formal family association. This page serves as a temporary home for CDC and as a brief, high level summary of the purpose and vision of the CDC, as well as “Carr Davis” more generally. We invite family members’ feedback and questions on this vision (see the email address at the bottom of any CDC correspondence). We will continue to provide updates on CDC progress as development continues.
The name for a group of Carr Davis family members is “a conviviality.” For example, ‘We passed by a conviviality of Carr Davis on our way to the Galactic Center for Holographic Family Studies.’
The purpose of CDC is to align with and support the following goals:
- Providing opportunities for family to meet and collaborate through sponsorship and facilitation of family activities, reunions, and goal sharing among members.
- Granting of funds to members for educational purposes.
- Providing interested members access to digital heritage collections shared through a private online portal.
Carr Davis
The CDC is part of a broader vision of the “family soul.” The proposed Creed, Objectives, Mission, and Family Lineage are provided below. Again, we invite our family’s feedback and questions.
Creed
- Our family has a soul.
- This soul is composed of the sum total of our family’s thoughts, words, deeds,
beliefs, values, and interactions throughout the generations (past, present, and
future). - This soul is trying to achieve something beautiful (its mission) through the beautiful,
unique, and necessary mission of each of its members. - We are called by Supreme Love to care for and nurture each member’s mission.
- Only through acts motivated out of Love and Compassion for each other do we care
for and nurture the family soul and its mission.
Objectives
Therefore, our objective as a family is to support each member in the discovery and
journey of his or her life’s mission.
Therefore, our objective as a family is to remind each member of his or her deep
connection and belonging within the family soul and within the living family group,
which is the current representative of that soul. We call this process re-membering.
Mission
The name we give to our family soul is Carr Davis. The mission of Carr Davis is to establish a sustainable structure and system to support Safe, Happy, Healthy, Harmonious, and Abundant lives for our family members for the next 1,000 years.
