Our CPE groups rest on a shared commitment to confidentiality. While this has never needed to happen, participants will be expelled if it is discovered that this sacred trust has been broken.

What is spoken in this circle is held with deep care and respect across all CPE groups, honoring the trust that allows us to meet one another more fully and truthfully.

To support safety, integrity, and depth, our groups are held within a wider container of loving supervision. Rev. Nhien and the CPE Facilitator Team meet in a confidential professional circle, where group experiences may be gently reflected upon—without naming individuals—in service of wise facilitation, shared care, and the well-being of all.

Inner work often touches tender places. Feeling activated or triggered at times is a natural and human part of contemplative practice, especially when we are engaging the body, emotions, and lived experience. You are invited to honor your own pacing and capacity—trusting yourself to take what is supportive and to step back when needed.

Cultivating a compassionate, trauma-aware, and trustworthy community is central to this work—and to the way we walk this contemplative path together.

Recognizing that we are bound to do this imperfectly, we nevertheless commit to meeting one another with integrity, care, and wholeheartedness.
