Meeting Sharing Guidelines
To foster an open, inclusive, and supportive environment, we uphold the following sharing guidelines that prioritize Self-led communication, respect for diversity, and mutual care for everyone’s healing journey.
Speak from Self, for parts: Try your imperfect best to share from a place of Self-energy by using phrases like “I notice a part of me feels…”. This promotes curiosity and connection with your parts, fostering a brave space for growth.
Avoid cross-talk: When sharing, focus on your own experience, using "I" statements. Avoid directing advice or comments at others' shares. This allows each person to process their parts without external influence. We ask that the chat not be used during our sharing time. The use of zoom reactions is ok during shares.
Share responsibly: Be mindful of language that could activate others. Avoid sharing explicit details of trauma, focusing on how your parts feel rather than reliving past experiences.
Respect diversity: All parts and people are welcome. This meeting is inclusive of all neurotypes, races, social backgrounds, abilities, genders, and orientations. Speak from a place of respect, and help maintain an environment where all voices can be heard.
Confidentiality: What is shared in the meeting stays in the meeting. If you're in a public space, use earbuds to protect the privacy of those sharing sensitive parts work.
Mindful system care: It’s normal to be activated. Pause, breathe, and check in with your parts. If needed, take breaks and come back when you feel grounded. Support your system through gentle self-care.
Address safety concerns: If anything feels unsafe or uncomfortable, message the host privately or request a pause. This ensures that the space remains supportive for everyone involved. (co)Hosts have renamed themselves with ** at the beginning of their name.
Extend grace to yourself and others: Mistakes will happen. Offer compassion to yourself and others when things don’t go perfectly. Everyone is learning and growing.
No recording of meetings: To ensure privacy and safety, recording meetings is prohibited. However, if we have a special guest, their presentation portion may be recorded and shared with the group afterward.
By following these guidelines, we co-create a space where all parts can be welcomed and honoured, allowing for deeper self-discovery and connection in a compassionate, mindful community. We take your continued participation in the meeting as your acceptance of these sharing guidelines.
