Retreat Ground Rules

1. Confidentiality
What’s shared here stays here. Respect the privacy and vulnerability of others. Share only your own reflections.

2. Listen Actively
Be fully present when others speak. Avoid interrupting or planning your response.

3. Speak for Yourself
Use “I” statements to share your experience. Offer advice only when invited.

4. Stay Open and Curious
Approach everything with curiosity, not judgment. There are no wrong answers.

5. Share the Space
Make room for everyone’s voice. Be mindful of how much you’re speaking.

6. Be Present
Silence distractions and stay focused on the session.

7. Take Care of Yourself
Step away, hydrate, or rest as needed. This is your time to restore, honor your needs.

8. Embrace Imperfection
There’s no need for perfection. Creativity thrives in the messy and real.

9. Respect Time
Return from breaks on time and keep your contributions concise.

10. Lead with Kindness
Assume positive intent and respond with kindness & generosity.
