THE DESIGN YOUR LIFE COMMUNITY
CODE OF CONDUCT
(aka our basic expectations for how to be in this place)
Welcome to The Design Your Life Community ! We are so happy that you decided to join us in this sacred space.
The phrase ‘sacred space’ might sound a bit formal and serious, like you need to mind your manners and take off your hat before you come in. Let me assure you that we are not that formal around here. But, we do think it is important to pause and recognize that this place is special and one we hope you will cherish. As such, it does require us to get centred in order to show up as our highest selves. Maintaining a loving atmosphere filled with compassion, empathy and respect is the secret sauce that is fundamentally important for all of us to learn, grow and heal in ways that serve us and others.
Here are our basic expectations for everyone here:
