Appropriate customs of confidentiality are to be established and honored. Guides shall make reasonable preparations to protect each participant's health and safety during spiritual practices and in the vulnerable periods that may follow. Spiritual guides are to assist only with those practices for which they are qualified by personal experience and by training or education. Spiritual guides shall strive to be aware of how their own belief systems, values, needs, and limitations affect their work. To avoid any harmful consequences of personal or organizational ambition, spiritual practices are usually better allowed to grow through attraction rather than by active promotion.
Spiritual practices are to be conducted in the spirit of service.
Spiritual guides shall strive to accommodate participants without regard to their ability to pay or make donations. Spiritual guides shall practice openness and respect with people whose beliefs are in apparent contradiction to their own.
