* Class Participation Agreement
While each of our guides may share distinctive practices, as a community, we strive to offer a contemplative space that supports group learning and self-healing. We encourage you to come with care and speak from the heart while being careful to practice mutual respect by monitoring the impact of your contributions on other group members.
Meditation can be a vital aid on a path of self-healing, especially when combined with the cultivation of contemplative insight and compassionate care. However, paying close attention to our minds and bodies can also bring awareness of uncomfortable, unfamiliar, or painful memories, emotions, and embodied experiences.
In some cases, this new awareness can be overwhelming and requires the help of a mental health professional to understand and heal.
In providing the time and space for practice in community, our meditation teachers are not acting as psychotherapists, conducting a group therapy session, or offering any clinical treatment.
To foster a group atmosphere of mutual respect, and to experience the full benefit of meditation and class, we encourage all participants to arrive at the start of class. Please arrive no later than 10 minutes after the scheduled class time.
We welcome all and look forward to your participation in co-creating a space for meditative self-healing and mindful dialogue.
