1. No Shaming
This is a judgment-free community.We honor every story, every journey, and every level of healing.
2. No Spiritual Bypassing
We do not silence pain with clichés.We don’t dismiss trauma with “pray it away” language.We honor honesty over performance.
3. Safety Through Vulnerability + Boundaries
Share at the level that feels safe.Respect confidentiality. No forced sharing or pressure to disclose.
4. Trauma-Informed Communication
Speak with compassion.Assume complexity.Avoid blame-based or accusatory language.
5. Respect for Lived Experience
Everyone’s story matters.We don’t debate personal experiences.We honor cultural and generational realities.
6. No Theological Bullying
Faith discussions are welcome, but not:
- Argumentative
- Condemning
- Dismissive of others’ interpretations
We center dignity, not dogma.
7. Grace + Accountability
We correct in love, not shame.We grow through reflection, not perfection.
8. You Can Always Ask for Help
Post questions.Tag the instructor.Reach out privately if needed.This is a community, not a classroom.
