Setting Up a Circle Lesson 5 of 17

🌱 1.7: Member Agreements Overview

Setting Up a Circle · 1 min read · original

Every circle in CCOS is built onΒ shared agreements.

These are not rules to police. They are commitments we make to each other so our work feels safe, clear, and effective.


🌱 Why Agreements Matter

  • They create trust and safety
  • They keep us accountable and transparent
  • They prevent misunderstandings before they grow into conflict
  • They remind us that regeneration starts with how we relate to each other

πŸ“œ What Our Agreements Cover

Each Sub-Circle’s agreements are slightly different, but you will always see sections like:

  • Presence & Participation β†’ showing up with attention and care
  • Communication & Respect β†’ speaking truthfully and listening compassionately
  • Transparency & Accountability β†’ making work visible and following through
  • Check-in Culture β†’ wellness before tasks
  • Conflict & Repair β†’ addressing issues with care and directness

πŸ“Œ Example: β€œIf you can’t attend a meeting, post an update in advance.”


πŸš€ What to Do Next

  1. Go to the Member Agreements pinned article.
  2. Read through the agreements carefully.
  3. Add a comment: β€œI’ve read and agree.”
