GROUP

AGREEMENTS &

COMMUNITY GUIDELINES

The Shakti Collective is a personal growth and connection group and is not a therapy group. While the space may feel healing and supportive, it is not intended to diagnose, treat, or serve as a substitute for professional mental health care.

Participation in this group does not establish a therapist-client relationship, and it should not be used as a space to process active mental health crises, trauma, or psychiatric diagnoses.

If you are currently experiencing a mental health emergency or are in need of clinical support, please contact a licensed mental health professional or crisis resource in your area.

To create a safe, respectful, and supportive space for everyone, all participants agree to the following:

  • Respect all members of the group.
    Speak and listen with kindness, curiosity, and non-judgment. We honor each person’s unique story, voice, and experience.

  • Make room for everyone.
    Be mindful of time and space. Share openly, but also allow others the opportunity to speak. Avoid dominating conversation.

  • Confidentiality is sacred.
    What is shared in the group stays in the group. This includes stories, names, and personal experiences.

  • Zero tolerance for harm.
    Any form of racism, xenophobia, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or exclusionary behavior is not permitted and will result in removal from the group without a refund.

  • Honor group time.
    Please arrive on time and stay for the full session. We begin and end together, and respect the integrity of that container.

  • Show up with an open mind and heart.
    This is a space for connection, reflection, and shared growth — not debate or unsolicited advice. Come willing to listen, learn, and connect.

  • This is not group therapy.
    While the space may be emotionally supportive, it is not a clinical or therapeutic group and is not appropriate for processing acute trauma or mental health crises.

  • Respect the facilitator and group guidelines.
    Participants must honor all agreements. Anyone who violates these boundaries may be asked to leave the group, at the discretion of the facilitator, without refund.
