Group Covenant

As a member of this community:

 

I listen to others from my heart

Within each person is a core of goodness, strength and love. I try to understand the heart of what others are sharing.

 

I listen to others with a non-judgemental attitude

I try to hear the other person’s perception of reality. I may not agree with it, but I affirm that person’s right to a different point of view.

 

I listen to others with love

We all have within us the need to discover the truth.

 

I listen to others with respect

We will build mutual trust by respecting the confidentiality of everything that is shared in the group.

 

I speak from my own unique experience

I will use the pronoun “I” when I share my point of view. Together we seek growth and understanding not uniformity.
