Co-responsabilities for face to face activities
The Vision:
Participation in a ParamitaLab programme is a valuable opportunity and it is essential that everyone recognises and appreciates their personal commitment to the formal and content aspects of the programme. Commitment and active participation not only enriches your experience in the programme, but also contributes to the creation of a robust practice container from which everyone can benefit.
Respect the Practice Container
To the best of my ability, I commit to participate fully in all aspects of the programme and to facilitate a healthy practice container by:
Consciously participating in the daily function groups as a form of meditation in action.
Attending scheduled activities at the appropriate times.
Respecting the practice of silence when it is introduced.
Observing silence in all indoor and outdoor spaces after 22:00 each evening.
I also agree to respect privacy and work and practice spaces by observing the following:
Recognising the kitchen as a practice area; not entering when not on duty.
Acknowledging restricted access to facilities/workshop areas after hours.
Understand that internet/computer access is not routinely provided unless necessary for work and training.
I also agree to abide by the rules regarding vegetarian food, alcohol, drugs and smoking, including:
Accepting only vegetarian food provided.
Not to drink alcohol unless otherwise stated.
Not smoking on the premises, including electronic cigarettes.
Acknowledge that the possession or use of drugs is not permitted and may result in immediate expulsion.
Take care of yourself and others
Throughout the programme, as we live, work and go through intensive placements together, emotions can run high. It is important to take care of yourself and others while respecting their experiences.
Use the resources provided to cope with challenges.
Contact the coordinator or programme manager for medical or social concerns, ensuring confidentiality in accordance with the privacy policy.
Promote clarity in relationships, with sexual harassment or unwanted contact strictly prohibited.
Report to the Programme Coordinator any actions that may harm or threaten the welfare of others or the integrity of the Programme.
The Director reserves the right to expel anyone who does not abide by this Co-responsibility Pact, although efforts will be made to address and resolve any difficulties.
