We are so honored to receive your desire to join us in Satsang. This community is dedicated to fostering a supportive and inclusive space for sensitive dialogues that are oftentimes glossed over in spirituality. This is an opportunity for you to up level your art of relating in community and reframe your relationship to conflict.

With the nature of this space, the triggers than can arise, we have created ground rules to support the cohesion and evolution. This gets to create possibility for you to find yourself in other human beings. Please take a moment to read the values below to better understand the intention of creating this sacred container.

This space is birthed from these values and rules of engagement. By joining, you agree to these and understand that, of course, this dialogue is something we can continue to develop over time.

1. Respect & Inclusivity. Respect for all individuals, including their races, preferred pronouns, beliefs, backgrounds, and upbringings. We are not attuning to one belief system, but rather a space for all voices. Another piece of this is attached to the second value/ground rule - you are agreeing to respect others' truths that may feel dissonant and hold the container of safety with us.

2. Safety & Vulnerability. Be ready for intimate, vulnerable conversations. This is a supported space to participate in conversations for growth and expansion. A place to listen and get present to the different voices in the community - to find commonality and to be aware that there may be dissonance. You're agreeing to be in a group community, welcoming in the potential triggers and honor others' points of views in support of honing your own - holding the frequency for all to be fully expressed.

3. Conscious Listening & Radical Vulnerability. Please be willing to listen to other people's perspectives and being willing to see something for yourself. It's an opportunity to grow and be contributed to by others' vulnerable shares - the raw conversations about REAL dynamics that come with being involved in community. How do you BE with people that don't share the same views? Can you listen from a space where you get to find yourself in other perspectives? We ask that honor the vulnerability and listen with an open heart. 

4. Connection & Community. This space was birthed to remind you that YOU are a part of an ever-evolving, expanding community. This is a space of acceptance. A place for all to arrive as they are. Conflict will arise (as it often does in community) - you agree to view it as a mechanism for transformation and deeper intimacy. 

5. Compassionate Communication. In this space, we are finding the courage to express our truth and removing the people pleaser. This may feel crunchy for you, that's why this was created! This is a space for you to expand. You are open to harnessing the courage to express the truth about what's real and alive within you. In a world of conditioning, of editing ourselves and making it comfortable, we will learn how to articulate the truth in a way that is embodied and can be received - in a way that creates deeper connection.

This is a community-driven space. We don't want to own this. We will be opening up the container as we begin; however, soon will open up space for you to also offer transmissions, perspectives and your gifts!

We do pray that after reading through these rules of engagement, you will decide to join. We would be honored and humbled to have you! 

In the Purity of Service and Love,

Shanti and Emily
