Our Ten Sacred Agreements
for SAfe, SAnctified, and Soulful Sisterhood
The Ten Sacred Agreements apply to all our Holistic & Shamanic offerings, especially Sacred Sisterhood Circles and Shamanic Circles.
All who join one of our Circles or Offerings vow to uphold Our Sacred Agreements.
These Ten Agreements allow us to co-create a safe space in which each of us feels supported, accepted, loved, seen, and heard.
**NOTE: Those who dishonour, disrespect, or disregard these Agreements will not be invited back into Circle (with few exceptions) and may be asked to immediately leave**
1. Sacred Presence
Allow each woman to be heard and seen, exactly as she is.
Listen to each woman with your whole being / heart and provide your unwavering presence.
2. Sacred Silence
We allow silence to be medicine, creating stillness in which deep listening can occur -- without cross-talk, feedback, or interruptions.
We use a "Sharing Crystal/Stick" to signify the person whose presence is to be Witnessed, and Voice to be Heard, in any given moment -- She who holds the crystal/stick is to be at the center of our awareness and attention.
2. Sacred Silence
Allow silence to be medicine; allow each woman the silent space to be fully heard, without cross-talk, feedback, or interruptions.
3. Confidentiality
All that is shared within our circle is to remain within the boundaries of the circle.
Similarly, all personal information, stories, and details shared within our sessions remain confidential and private, held within the boundaries of our therapeutic relationship.
4. Mutual Respect
Care for and treat one another with love & kindness, always.
Remember: We are mirrors of one another -- we invite you to take this opportunity to see yourself in another, and care for her as you want/need/desire/yearn to be cared for yourself.
5. Unity
We recognize our inherent connection and unity -- our Oneness under Spirit/God/Creation.
We are all of equal value and worth, and there is no place in sacred, therapeutic space for bullying behaviour, competition/comparison, or insulting/derogatory remarks.
**Anyone who violates the agreements for Respect and Unity will not be welcome back in Circle.
6. Privacy
You are never obligated to share personal information; you take full responsibility for your own energy and tap into your body to share what feels "right", knowing it will be received and held in a container of safety.
You are always welcome to "pass" when you receive the "Sharing Crystal/Stick," but we invite and encourage you to step beyond your "comfort zone," and allow yourself to be witnessed and deeply held.
7. Honesty
We vow to speak with honesty and authenticity, as much as possible. Together we co-create a safe space to be open, honest, and vulnerable; withholding or retreating into fear or shame will only delay your healing and limit your potential.
We invite you to share your Truth, your authentic Self, your unique Voice.
Allow your fears and shame to dissolve.
8. Non-Judgement
We vow to listen & witness one another with an open heart & mind - without judgment, unsolicited advice, critique, or criticism.
We take stock of our own triggers & shadows and see them as an opportunity to dig deeper and heal what lies beneath so we can live freely, authentically. Shadows and Triggers are patterns and limitations - they mute your potential and power, and limit your experiences and perceptions.
2. Sacred Silence
Allow silence to be medicine; allow each woman the silent space to be fully heard, without cross-talk, feedback, or interruptions.
9. Individuality
We honor one another's unique gifts, experiences, and wisdom, while remembering we share fundamental commonalities.
Although we carry individual experiences, stories, and perspectives, we are all connected as one human family, through our Red Thread lineage, ancient ancestors, and other Earthly and Soul-full experiences.
We agree to take what resonates for us, and leave the rest.
10. Self-Responsibility
We vow to take responsibility for our own healing, experiences, reactions, and perceptions.
Remember: you can only squeeze out as much as you are willing to put in.
