Culture
Normalizing humanity
It's normal to be messy and human.
We are hear for the journey
Sharing in and witnessing the process, not just the end results.
Life as an eyes-open meditation.
Being in the practice of listen for what resonates with our spirit, our soul, our body... and when we notice we are not doing this, we begin again.
Saying "yes" to being who we are.
It takes courage! We are all heroes on the journey of finding deeper connection with ourselves and transforming our lives to match our insides.
Group Agreements
These are the consent practices and the agreements that make this container a safe space for radical authenticity and vulnerability.
Confidentiality
Our stories are ours to tell.
While others’ stories may live on within us, names and identifying information stay within the group.
When sharing with those outside the group we share about how we were impacted rather than what impacted us.
Honoring Unique Experiences
We speak from personal experience using “I” statements.
We refrain from using the language of “we” and “you” so as to avoid inaccurately universalizing experiences and thereby erasing the experiences of others
We refrain from offering our opinions or advice unless explicitly asked.
We let others experience their own feelings and do not attempt to “fix” them.
Self Care & Boundaries
Our mutual wellbeing is dependent on mutual self-care.
We help ourselves and others by being emotionally present and honest.
We practice honoring our own personal boundaries as they arise without blame or judgement.
Care & Respect
We genuinely care for each other.
We practice non-judgement and when we notice judgements arise within us, we return to the care we feel for eachother.
Mindfullness and Attunement
We all come from different backgrounds and have different lived experiences. As a group, we honor this in the way we engage with each other.
Those who were socialized to speak often, practice speaking less than they normally might and listen more. Those who were socialized to speak less often practice speaking more than they normally might.
Whenever possible we structure our gatherings to give time and space for those who are more introverted to process their thoughts and feelings before sharing with the group.
Conflict Resolution
When things get challenging or members become activated, we turn toward curiosity about each others’ unique experiences.
We practice returning to our care for eachother and remember that multiple things can be true even if they contradict each other.
When needed, we use group-sourced tools to support the resolution of conflicts within the group and between individual members.
Practice at Your Own Pace
Vulnerability and risk-taking are welcomed and celebrated.
We support each other to stretch our comfort zones without expectation on anyone’s participation.
Become a Patron
Consider what amount is authentic for you and give only that. Over-giving is one of the leading causes of resentment and spoiled relationships.
What amount are you an emphatic "YES" to giving?
All patrons receive the same access no matter how much they are able to give.
We believe that everyone deserves the same access to resources, community, and connection no matter their financial situation. If you have the means and choose to contribute in one of the higher tiers you will be supporting a vision for a more accessible, compassionate world.
Our Patrons make this work possible!

If you do not have the means to contribute financially, please join us anyway. Your presence is valuable regardless of financial circumstances.
