Check in and check out at each meeting. Participate in honouring your own personal integrity, and that of others. Respect each other by asking permission to give feedback. Respect the form of leadership agreed upon by the group. Respect the confidentiality of the group.
All questions are welcome.
One person speaks at a time, while all others listen respectfully. Remember that some guidelines emerge as the group develops. While these may never be written down, they are usually respected by the group. Participants may simply give a brief overview of how things have been going since the last meeting. They might have a bowl of jelly beans and ask each participant to pick the colour that best reflects how she or he feels at the moment.
