Guidelines

​

I intend to create a safe space in which we can simply be ourselves. To create this space together it is sometimes helpful to establish some guidelines for interaction. We don't have to be perfect ofcourse, feel free introduce you own! Here I have listed some which I have found are valuable in meditation groups:

​

- Refrain from blaiming or shaming yourself or others

- When sharing, try to speak from your own experience and avoid projection 

- Practice mindful listening

- Practice mindful speach

- Right to pass: participation in sharing or discussion is always your own choice, please don't feel obliged

- Avoid crosstalk

- Try in on: see if you can adopt new ideas or ways of doing, if only just for a few moments

- Confidentiality: refrain from brining that which is shared by participants outside of the session

- Move up /Move back: Take note of who is speaking and who is not. If you tend to speak often, consider “moving back” and vice versa
