Our
ethical framework is rooted in the understanding that we are part of one Being,
united in consciousness, spiritually bound to each another and that our thoughts
and actions toward others create and constitute the quality of the life that we
ourselves experience. Collectively and individually we are responsible to live
in a manner that encourages growth and harmony for all life.
1. We establish
our behavior and demeanor with clients, students and peers in kindness, compassion,
and generosity of spirit for them and for ourselves.
2.
Our interactions and exchanges with others are based in clarity, honesty, and
truth. We clearly, and up-front, define the boundaries of our transactions regarding
matters such as roles, compensation, time limits, and expectations.
3.
We respect the dignity, ethnicity, race, sexual preferences, and religious beliefs
of others.
4. We respect the confidentiality of information shared in our healing and helping relationships and as a general principle we respect others privacy.
5. We understand that sexual contact with clients, students, or anyone with whom we are in a fiduciary position degrades our ability to bring about clarity and growth, and erodes the qualities of safety and support intrinsically required for this association. We refrain from sexual contact or the intimation of sexual contact with those whom we serve as healers, helpers, teachers, leaders, etc.
6.
We recognize that those whom we serve benefit most by being empowered to make
their own choices regarding welfare and growth. Our words and actions encourage
and support self-responsibility.
7. We believe in the availability of
a universal sufficiency to meet all needs and we espouse cooperation, versus competition,
with other individuals and organizations that are active in the work of human
and spiritual growth.
8. We actively seek
our own growth and development using appropriate means and support vehicles so
that we may continue to offer our highest and best to those we serve.
