We covenant together to give one another support as we each work on our own issues of diversity. We strive to arrive at this goal through the use of compassionate, non-defensive and non-judgmental communication techniques and active listening skill, and through sharing our feelings, experiences and ideas in an intentionally-created safe environment. To this end, we promise one another to speak with honesty and from our own experiences, to keep our sharing confidential, to stay in community even though we may disagree, and to assume good intention from all.
