COMMUNITY GUIDELINES
Please refer to these community guidelines
when interacting in Modern Witches circles.
We hope to cultivate a community of respect and compassion.
Thank you for your support with this magical project.
PRACTICE MINDFUL COMMUNICATION:
FOCUS ON AND SPEAK TO YOUR OWN INDIVIDUAL EXPERIENCES.
ALL EXPERIENCES ARE VALID.
When making comments and asking questions, be conscious of the shared environment, and be conscious of your biases, and privileges. Try the “step up, step back” communication approach; if you are someone who typically speaks up, try listening. Likewise, if you tend to shy away from speaking up, we encourage you to share and ask.
Community request: Please add your pronouns to your profile, and to your name on zoom. Don’t assume anyone’s gender identity, please use gender neutral pronouns when in doubt.
RESPECT BOUNDARIES:
KNOW YOUR BOUNDARIES AND ASSUME BEST INTENTIONS WHEN OTHERS ARE STATING THEIR BOUNDARIES.
Just because we are not physically present with each other, does not mean that boundaries are not important. Know your personal boundaries and bandwidth, and respect the boundaries of others.
SAFETY IS ESSENTIAL: WE ARE COMMITTED TO THE SPIRITUAL, EMOTIONAL, AND PSYCHOLOGICAL WELLBEING OF OUR MOST MARGINALIZED COMMUNITY MEMBERS. WE ARE WORKING TOWARDS CREATING A TRULY SAFE SPACE FOR ALL.
If at any point you do not feel uncomfortable in this space, take a step away and reflect on the experience. Please email: info@witchesconfluence with the subject line: SAFETY and we will do our best to support you from afar.
Be cautious and aware of how and where you are sharing personal information in the space. Once again, be clear about your boundaries.
CULTIVATE CURIOSITY: ALLOW YOURSELF TO BE SURPRISED AND LEARN SOMETHING NEW.
If this community isn’t meeting your expectations, take a moment to consider whether that is because you are not learning something, or because you are insistent on what you want to be learning. Experiential learning creates space for intuitive developments to shape reality.
