GATHERING VALUES

VULNERABILITY IS EXPECTED, TRUST IS EARNED

Show up authentically and be willing to share honestly with the group. In exchange, fellow members vow to show up and support you and earn your trust by sharing their own experiences

BE PRESENT

We ask you to turn notifications off for the duration of our gathering. We can build trust by showing up fully

CONFIDENTIALITY

While we ask you to keep stories shared within the group, we invite you to follow-up and engage members after the group about things they shared if you have helpful guidance or have experienced something similar yourself

STEP IN, STEP OUT

Be conscious about how much you are sharing and speak up if you’ve been taking a back seat

IT’S A COUCH, NOT A PANEL

While your host is here to share question prompts, the goal is to hold space for conversation, not systematically have folks weigh in
