I will act as a safe community member by:

• I will hold anything shared in the group as 100% confidential (Do not share the identities, stories or experiences of other people that you see at community Practice.

• To the best of my ability, I will not judge others.

• I will hold the other participants with the best positive regard. 

• I will keep the focus on myself and my own practice.

• I will be as compassionate as possible with myself and others.

• If something in the community practice happens that makes me feel unsafe or has a negative impact on me I will reach out to Scarlet immediately.

• I understand that this is an anti-oppressive space with a zero tolerance policy for acts or speech of supremacy and prejudice.

• Because this space is for resilience building and not emotional processing:

  • I will not push myself beyond my safe edge. If something feels emotionally challenging I will dial the practice back, ask for a modification or take a break.

  • I will keep my reflections focused on the practice and its impact on my current embodied experience. I will not share personal histories or details from my past. If context feels necessary to your share keep it brief and general. Example of appropriate reflection: “I am currently struggling in my romantic relationship and I could feel some of my resentment that was stuck in my chest shift and dissolve during that practice. The shaking and jumping specifically was really helpful.” Example of inappropriate reflection: “Recently my partner cheated on me and I moved out of my home and I’ve been in a major depression because this has triggered by abandonment issues from my mother cheating on my father and leaving when I was a kid. I could feel this practice free up some of that heaviness…”

• If, for whatever reason, you are not able to meet any of the following guidelines, please skip the session. 

  • If I am more than 10 minutes late, I will skip the session. If I am less than 10 minutes late, I will jump in where I can and will wait for Scarlet to catch me up if needed.

  • I will attend sessions from a physical space that feels private and conducive somatic practice; If I can’t do this I will keep my video off.

  • I understand that having my camera on is not necessary, but that it can add a great deal of depth to the session.

• I acknowledge that if I am not able to meet any of the group agreements Scarlet can remove me from the space at any time.
