We believe our community is one of the most valuable parts of She Oak. We deeply believe the process of healing is a community process. And we want to support the healing process here by asking our community to support each other in the following ways:
She Oak Community Agreements
This is a place of confidentiality - we hold each other’s share, and those of what we watch, as sacred and confidential. We honor each other’s vulnerability in this way.
This is a place of honoring - we honor the lineages and teachers that our practices come from. This means that we acknowledge them when we pass forward our discoveries and learnings.
This is a place of deep listening - we listen to hear and understand the unique experience of each person. We listen with the whole self and from a place of curiosity, rather than listening to make a point.
This is a place of compassion - We refrain from shaming or blaming others. We meet each other with mutual respect and an open heart.
This is a place of understanding - we commit to understanding the impact of our actions and choices.
This is a place of consent - we check in with others to ask permission before giving advice. We can come to agreements about how we want to interact with each other. We honor each other’s no and yes. We share when we feel like sharing.
This is a place of exploration - we approach the work with an open mind and an open heart. We practice trying things on, when it feels safe and appropriate to do so.
