Sacred Agreements for Our Body Temple Spaces

 Creating a Supportive, Brave, and Healing Container. This space is sacred—a place for healing, growth, and honoring of each person’s unique journey. These agreements help us co-create an environment of love, respect, and
 transformation.

1. Love is the Foundation
 Everything we do here begins and ends with unconditional love.

2. Confidentiality & Trust
 What is shared in this space stays in this space. We honor each other’s privacy by not sharing names, stories, or personal details outside this container.
 
3. Speak from the Heart
 Share from your direct experience whenever possible. Authenticity is welcome.

4. Listen with Presence
 Practice deep listening with respect, compassion, and curiosity. Notice how your body feels as you share and as you receive others’ words.

5. See Others in Their Power
 Honor each person's strength, beauty, and sovereignty, even when discomfort arises within you.

6. No Need to Rehearse
 Trust yourself and speak when it’s your turn without overthinking.

7. Hold Space, Not Solutions
 Simply listen. No advice or responses unless specifically requested.

8. Boundaries & Consent
 Respect each person's boundaries and do not contact others outside of this space unless permission is given. Each individual has the right to engage in a way that feels safe for them.

9. Self-Care & Personal Agency
 You are responsible for your well-being. If something doesn’t feel right, honor your needs—step back, take a break, or opt out of an activity.
 

10. Emotions Are Welcome
 Healing involves allowing emotions to surface. While this is not a therapy session, we hold
 space for vulnerability with compassion and without judgment.

11. Inclusivity & Open-Heartedness
 We welcome all identities, orientations, preferences, and experiences with curiosity and respect.  If judgment arises, we reflect on where it may come from within us.

12. Reflection & Respect
 What others share may open healing within us because we are all reflections of one another. At the same time, we respect each individual’s life experience, which varies according to many factors, including race, class, gender, societal and systemic racism, classism, ableism, gender inequality and oppression, as well as many more nuances not listed here.

13. Strengthening Our Spiritual Connection
 We are here to deepen our spiritual practices and relationships, inspiring one another as we
 heal and share our gifts.

14. Embracing Rupture & Repair
 Conflict and misattunement are natural parts of growth. We hold a brave space, not just a safe space—one that invites responsibility, communication, and sovereignty. We commit to moving beyond victimhood and blame into self-awareness, self-love, and service.

15. A Sacred Space for Healing & Growth
 This is a place to heal wounds and celebrate the brilliance within every human being. Be gentle with yourself and others when needed.

16. A Living Agreement: 

This is a work in progress and open to discussion.
