Shared expertise & wisdom: Everyone brings their own lived experience to the conversation. We all can gain from and respect each other’s various expertise. Collective liberation: Overcoming oppression aids everyone’s liberation. It is our responsibility to challenge different forms of prejudice. We educate in the spirit of solidarity, and hold each other accountable without criticizing who we are as humans. Listen like allies and co-conspirators: We respect a wide diversity of choices and perspectives, even when we disagree, and we don’t judge or invalidate other people’s experiences. Confidentiality: What's shared here stays here; what's learnt here leaves here. Folks may choose to share some personal details during our meetings. Please treat personal shares as a gift, and leave the personal details in our space, but take the learning with you.
