🌿 Lib Lab Guidelines
Welcome!
These are spaces of deep listening, reciprocity, release, and co-creation. Guided by community, we practice being together in ways that are nourishing, accountable, and spacious.
Our guidelines are inspired by Resmaa Menakem and shaped by the teachings of Cliff Berrien, Karine Bell, Indigenous relatives, and Eastern traditions. 🙏🏼

🌳 Remember
This is an experimental, emergent community space.
No one holds authority. We are practicing together — honoring our individuality while holding the whole.
