We are all guests in the training room. In an effort to maintain a safe and welcoming environment, we ask that we follow these guidelines:

1. Respect people’s choices, experiences and feelings.
2. One person speaks at a time.
3. Participate actively by including your voice and make space for other voices to be heard.
4. Respect confidentiality, what is said in the group, stays in the group. Speak in private with the instructor if necessary.
5. Assume the best intent. This is a space to learn and sometimes that means making mistakes.
6. Take care of yourself, whatever that may look like.
7. Mute your microphone to reduce background noise and unmute it for group discussions, to comment or ask questions.

In keeping with our eco-conscious goal of reducing paper use, handouts, resources and certificates will be sent by email. In this way, participants will have a resource that can be saved and viewed across various devices, shared and printed anytime.

We may take some photographs (including a Zoom group picture) during workshops/courses with the purpose of promoting our training. By registering you consent to allow us or others attending to take your photograph. If it’s okay with the facilitator, you may photograph materials, slides, books, etc., but not film the workshop.
