For your understanding - please read:   To help us create a safe and welcoming space where everyone can be heard and honoured we all agree to.

1. Confidentiality - what is said here stays here. Everything is confidential. We share from our own experience and honour each person's experience without repeating it. 

2. "I"-speak - We speak from our own experience only not "we" or "others".  We honour our own story and allow others to hear their truth in our conversation.  

3. No Judgement or Unsolicited Advice - Everyone is free and safe to speak their truth. No one in this group will judge either themselves or others or offer unsolicited advice. In this way we heal together. 

4. Be Kind and Courteous - We approach all conversation with an assumption of gentleness. We are kind and courteous in all conversations. 

5. Inclusiveness - We are an inclusive group; we honour and welcome all equally. 

6. Trust The Process - We trust the process and the unfoldment of the conversation as guided by the Facilitator. 

8. Gratitude - Gratitude is at the core of all healing. We keep gratitude in the forefront of our thinking and our practice. 

These sessions are not for therapeutic purposes, they are intended to be informal information and conversation sessions.  Please note that guidance from our facilitators is not meant to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. It is not a substitute for a medical exam, nor does it replace the need for services provided by medical professionals. Always seek the advice of your medical professional before making any changes to your treatment. Any medical questions should be directed to your personal doctor.
