Group Agreements

Group agreements keep our space safe and aligned with our intentions for the container. We want to create availability for deep connection and deconstruction, and laugh our asses off, be silly, and find relief and deep exhales in each other’s company. We will go over these in our first group + see if any others should be added:

Members will keep in mind that Read Like a Witch is a vulnerable, intentional practice ground for deep connection and deconstruction of power-over relational themes, both micro and macro. So we will:

• Create room for complexity, nuance, and diversity (aka, practicing feeling the difference between someone being different than us, and/or there being conflict vs. someone being truly unsafe and oppressive)

• Create room for healthy conflict, if needed, in order to expand our capacity for a process of rupture and repair if unintentional harm happens

• Know that there is zero tolerance for any power-over or abusive behavior

• Keep this space safe and inclusive for all ethnicities, genders, sexual orientation, cultures, and varied levels of ability

• Not talk about a member if they’re not present in the group

• Abide by the rules of confidentiality, even though Read Like a Witch is not therapy or coaching. To keep our space safe, members will not disclose information about any other member to anyone outside of the container.
