E.A.R.R. Code of Honor

“Lend Me your Ear, Protect Your Heart.”

As a member of this sanctuary, I commit to the following principles of healing and restoration:

1. Protection through Prayer

I will hold this circle in prayer, maintaining strict confidentiality and honoring the sacredness of our shared space.

2. Speak through Poetry

I will use my writing to speak truth over lies, choosing words that build up rather than tear down.

3. Standing on the Promise

I will daily declare that “ I am in control of my own emotional safety,” trusting in the spirit of power, love and sound judgement.

4. The Shield of Confidentiality

What is said in this circle stays in the circle. I will protect my brothers and sisters’ stories as fiercely as I protect my own.

5. The Gift of the Ear

I will practice radical active listening, I will offer my ear before my advice, honoring each person’s journey without judgment or interruption.

6. The Authority of Self

I recognize that I am the architect of my own life. I will respect the boundaries and timing of my brothers and sisters as we reclaim control over our emotional safety.

7. The Grace of the Process

Healing is not a straight line. I will offer myself along with my sisters and brothers the “Grit” to keep going and the “Grace” to stumble, knowing that God is caring us through every season (Isaiah 46:4).
