Community Agreement
Our time in community, whether circles, membership spaces or shared explorations, are held with care, honesty & presence.
This is a shared space of listening.
Of being with what is, not rushing to what’s next.
Of remembering what it means to be human, together.
To support this, I invite you to agree to the following:
Presence
Arrive as you are.
Give yourself permission to be present with what’s here. Without needing to explain or fix.
Confidentiality
What is shared in the space stays in the space.
Stories, emotions and expressions are to be held with care and not shared beyond the group.
Listening without fixing
Offer your presence, not your solutions.
Unless asked, please avoid offering advice or interpretations. Trust each person’s inner knowing.
Spaciousness
Allow space for silence, reflection & pause.
We honour silence as much as sound.
There’s no need to fill the space. Pauses are part of the rhythm here. You are invited to rest in them.
Relating with Care
This is a relational space.
We meet each other not as roles or ideas, but as people. We are building a living, breathing community.
Anchored in trust. Nourished by care. Alive in its imperfection.
Consent & Boundaries
Respect your own boundaries & the boundaries of others.
Speak or stay quiet. Engage or step away. We honour each person’s pace and choice. In shared space, we ask before reaching out, offering touch or giving feedback.
Responsibility
Each person is responsible for their own wellbeing.
Take care of your needs. Step away when you need to. Reach out if you feel overwhelmed.
By joining this work, you agree to hold these shared values with tenderness and respect.
