COMMUNITY PRINCIPLES

PARTICIPATION IS KEY

• Everyone contributes to the culture of openness and accountability

• Engage consistently in group activities and discussions

• Contribute value to the community

• If you can't participate fully, communicate openly about your capacity

OPENNESS IS STRENGTH

• Create a safe space for authentic sharing

• Encourage emotional openness

• Recognize that showing “vulnerability” is a sign of courage, not weakness

CONFIDENTIALITY IS PARAMOUNT

• What's shared in the community stays in the community

• No screenshots or sharing personal stories outside the group without explicit permission

• Protect each other's privacy and trust

ACCOUNTABILITY IS ESSENTIAL

• Own your actions, words, and personal growth journey

• Follow through on commitments you make to yourself and the group

• Be honest about your struggles and progress

RESPECT IS REQUIRED

• No judgment, only supportive and constructive feedback

• Listen to understand, not to respond or argue

• Disagree with ideas, never attack the person

GROWTH IS EXPECTED

• Commit to continuous learning and self-improvement

• Be open to challenging your own beliefs and perspectives

• Embrace discomfort as a pathway to growth

GRACE IS GIVEN

• No racism, sexism, homophobia, or discrimination of any kind

• No harassment or abusive language

• No promotion of harmful or illegal activities

DIVERSITY IS LEARNING

• Respect different backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives

• Seek to understand before being understood

• Recognize that growth comes from exposure to different viewpoints
