Group Terms & Commitments

In joining the group you commit to the following:

Please arrive five minutes before the session start time to log-in and get settled. To reduce distraction, the meeting will be closed to entry when we start the opening meditation (approximately 5 minutes in).

Absolute confidentiality is a prerequisite, this means:

• A member’s identity and/or what they say cannot be shared, anonymised or not, in any context outside of the group. To this end, your screen should not be visible or audible to anyone but you.
• I will not be recording any part of the group process session. Recording, even for your own use, is prohibited.
• The only exception to this is a recording of mine, or the invited guests’, talk. Should a question be asked from a group member during the talk, the group members’ image and audio will be removed to ensure absolute confidentiality.
• What I, or any invited guest, say can be taken outside of the group and used in your service. 

The space we create will mimic an in-person meeting as closely as possible, for clarification this means:

• Please set yourself up in a space you will not be interrupted or heard by other people, pets, or devices such as TV, other’s devices etc.
• If you are in a place where background noise cannot be avoided, please wear headphones.
• Please do not smoke/ vape or eat a meal during the session. Having a hot or cold drink on the side is fine.

To create safety and connection cameras must be on at all times. Please ‘mute’ sound except for when speaking.
We will create a space of safety and mutual respect where you can speak honestly for your experience and all parts of you, without fear of reprimand. To support this, crosstalk and advise giving are to be avoided.

We will aim for an equal spread of time for members across the group. If you are inclined to fill a silence, please be mindful that some need that space before sharing. I may invite a group member to share. You are always welcome to pass.

To ensure we stay close to the core intentions of the group I may interrupt a sharing to bring us back into alignment. I appreciate this is contrary to common courtesy and I will be respectful when I do.

Refund Policy: The group is a closed group and will not invite new joiners in the group term stated. On sign-up you are committing to attending and paying for the full duration. As your place will not be back-filled, refunds are not possible.

Attendance Policy: Life happens! as close to full attendance is requested. Should you miss more than one session in the block we will schedule a call to discuss. If you miss more than one third of the total number of sessions, you will be asked to leave the group. Your place will not be backfilled and a refund will not be available.
