Youth Circles
Loveday Everyday supports creative and verbal self-expression, and follows group guidelines to provide the foundation for respectful and supportive communication within the circle:
Circle Guidelines
-
What is shared in circle stays in circle. Confidentiality is essential.
Exceptions apply only if someone has been harmed, is in danger of harming themselves, or may harm someone else.
-
Anyone may choose to “pass” at any time. No one is ever required or pressured to speak.
-
We speak from our own experience. If we mention others, it is only to reflect how their actions affect us personally.
-
We offer listening instead of advice. If someone asks for guidance, we may share personal experiences that feel relevant.
-
We avoid interrupting and wait our turn to speak.
-
We accept each participant’s experiences, thoughts, and feelings without judgment—even when they differ from our own.
-
We commit to attending each meeting. If we must miss a session, we will inform the facilitator in advance.
