Community Agreements for Planet Women Events
Community Agreements help to create the safety and trust necessary for transformative conversations and gatherings. We invite everyone attending Planet Women events to get to know the Community Agreements below, in hopes that we engage thoughtfully and compassionately.
We are each on a unique path of learning. We understand that every person is on a different path of learning, and we are each at different stages. Every path is valid and valued, even when it differs from our own. We honor these differences as we learn.
We create a safe environment. We honor each person’s truth. We seek to understand truths that are different from our own. We make space for each voice to be heard. We respect time and confidentiality. We prioritize self-awareness and take responsibility for creating safety around sensitive subjects and sharing emotional space. We support one another even when there is discomfort.
We co-create a healing space. We recognize that when we experience injustice, inequity and marginalization, that emotions become charged. We bring our best selves to each meeting, and show up with the intention to listen, understand and grow. We recognize that it’s okay if we don’t have all the answers. We balance sharing painful experiences with seeking creative solutions. We are mindful of the impact of our actions and words.
We compassionately allow ourselves and one other to be a works-in-progress. We recognize there is no “finish line” for justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion (JEDI) understanding. JEDI issues are systemic, institutionalized and embedded in all aspects of our daily lives. There is no “quick fix”. We prioritize the time and space for finding solutions by refraining from offering unsolicited advice.
We look forward to seeing you at an upcoming event. Wondering what events are coming up? Sign up for email updates.
