Minutes
- Brave space vs. Safe Space vs. other –
- Wendy C thinks we use “Safe Space” since the concern is to address safety.
- Barbara – all will get triggered at some point. She supports the use of Safe Space. Healing Space would be an acceptable alternative. Doesn’t support the term Brave Space.
- Leslie would like to post the poem at the beginning of the survey, then use Brave Space / Safe Space. This could be educational for the group.
- Agustin –“Healing” is conducive for him. He has to be brave to feel his feelings. Seeing “Safe” feels like it is shutting him down, since he can often feel that way in meetings.
- Caitlyn – “Brave space” would have prevented her from coming back as a newcomer. She didn’t feel brave at first.
- Jim R – In survey, could use asterisk to refer to ACAmorning.org page. We could define all terms, include safe space/brave space and include the “Invitation to Brave Space” poem.
- Options
- Brave Space
- Healing Space
- Safe Space
- ??? Space with * Asterisk + link to ACAmorning landing page with definitions
- Motion made, voted and agreed – Keep as Safe Space w/ asterisk to where safe space is defined on website currently. Question # 2 is only location of “Safe Space” term. Asterisk also @ “Safety Question #*”
- Leader/Host is unclear –
- Barbara – use “Breakout Room Host”
- Wendy C – “Training As Is” * Asterisk – show current training information
- Jim R – Leader/Moderator (Breakout Room Host)
- Caitlyn – Breakout Room Host (Leader/Moderator)
- Motion made, voted and all agreed – use the term “Breakout Room Host (Leader/Moderator) (RH)”
- Use “RH” where “LM” is currently
- ** will be used with a link for “Current LM Training” to define better
- Separate landing page will be built under “Service” to define (Wendy C)
- Jim R – “Training as-is” -> Current Training, “Advanced training” -> ??
- Hannah – Once in a meeting, LM said a certain topic shouldn’t be discussed. Said it was a GC policy. Wasn’t sure if new LM training on Sundays will address concern.
- Motion to remove question #3 since we have a new LM training process in place. Multiple Yays. 1 Nay (Robert) – To be determined at next GC this Wed. (Note: the decision on this will affect some of the items voted on today)
- N/A or don’t know option –
- Barbara would like crystal clarity about having “I don’t know” as an option.
- Motion made, voted and agreed – Add “Not applicable or Unknown” to all options except 5 & 7.
- Next Meeting this Wednesday 5/5 after Newcomer time
- Motion to close
