Class Covenant
We will honor Jesus by recognizing His presence in our midst, by respecting silence to leave room for the Spirit, by forgiving others as He has forgiven us, by being rooted in our belovedness (or at least trying to!), and by “being neither self-centered nor falsely humble.”
We will honor each other by bring up to each other’s individual experiences and viewpoints, by calling each other in instead of calling each other out, by giving space to get to know each other as individuals, by keeping confidential the things that are said here, by being curious about each other’s stories and being patient when sharing, by bearing witness to each other and not fixing or advising, by using honest and respectful language, and by setting clear expectations regarding our schedule and session obligations.
We will honor ourselves by limiting technology use so we can all fully participate in our sessions, by taking care of our bodily needs, and by being accountable for our own journey.
