Etiquette of the Space
You’ll have a chance to share if you’d like. You’re also welcome to simply listen and be with the group.
Listening with compassion without the need to fix can be the biggest gift we can give. Only offer resources or advice if someone asks for it.
We are co-creating a kind place to recover and heal. That means bullying of any sort isn’t allowed including negative comments about race, religion, nationality, sexual orientation, gender identity, etc.
