We are here to practice together with kindness and respect.

We listen deeply, without interrupting or trying to fix one another.

We speak from our own experience, using gentle and honest words.

We welcome differences in background, belief, and stage of practice.

We practice non-judgment, knowing that learning includes uncertainty and imperfection.

What is shared here is held in confidence, with care for one another’s vulnerability.

Participation is always voluntary—you are welcome to speak, to be silent, or to step away as needed.

When misunderstandings arise, we pause, breathe, and return to kindness.

We value repair over being right, and understanding over reactivity.

This is a place of presence, compassion, and shared awakening.

May our time together benefit all beings.
