Community Guidelines:

When you join the group, you are agreeing to the Community Guidelines.
● Confidentiality. What is shared in group, stays in group.
● Respect. Absolutely no hate language. Do your best to not talk over or interrupt others. One voice at a time. Additionally, there are many points of convergence between the study of science, philosophy, and spirituality. All of which are relative to one another. And all individuals come from different points of origin. So regardless of personal beliefs, hold respect for other members' right to their own thoughts.
● Listen to understand, not to give advice. We will use “I” statements, not “you” statements. Practice listening to others deeply, rather than thinking about what you will say next. Silence is okay.
● Self-Awareness. Be aware of the time you take when sharing with the group. Recognize that each person needs to have time to share. Members are welcome to share what they feel comfortable with.
● Be Present. Stay present with us throughout our time together.
● Self-care. If you need to use the bathroom, get food, or move your body, please do!
