Braver Spaces Policy

Our intent is to encourage and empower all who enter this space to enact personal bravery, to express oneself authentically while participating in a way that protects and strengthens boundaries. Our hope is that, by holding space together while adhering to the following common goals, we can c0-create spaces that enables all of us to embody our values while cultivating a clearer vision for the world we wish to live in. We are committed to accountability and growth through self-reflection as we strive towards the collective and individual liberation of all people.

We are a collective of artists, practitioners, therapists, facilitators and hosts who embody the diversenature of the Earth. These embodiments are reflected in diverse expressions of race, national origin, gender identity, sexual orientation, abilities, ages and spiritual beliefs.

We protect the right to be free of discrimination and harassment and are committed to anti-racist and anti-oppressive practices. We are an explicitly trans-affirming space for practitioners and participants.

We hold ourselves and our clients accountable to honoring the sacredness of these diverse expressions.

These are the values we strive to uphold our mission of consent, respect, and inclusion.
