Spiral Traditions
- A Spiral Steps Group
has one primary purpose; to provide a safe and supportive place for those
who wish to focus on our own health and healing.
- For our group purpose,
there is but one authority – a Loving Spirit as expressed in our group
conscience.
- The only requirements
for membership are respect for the ethics embodied in Earth Wise
Spirituality and a sincere desire for health and healing.
- We affirm that these
are non-cross talk meetings. This
means that we share our experience, strength and hope and that we use “I
messages” when we share. It is not
necessary that we agree with each member’s opinion because we “take what
we need and leave the rest”.
- We each pledge to honor
our own boundaries and to respect the boundaries of the other people in
this group. In this way we honor
our need for community and protect our rights as individuals.
- A Spiral Steps Group
ought never to let personal, social or political issues divert us from our
primary purpose.
- We honestly acknowledge
the problems in our lives in order to grow and heal. At the same time, we keep our primary
focus on the solution.
- We respect the right of
each member to seek outside sources of healing for their body, mind and
spirit. This includes nutritional
counseling, individual therapy, medical care and the various alternative
forms of healing available to us.
- Each Spiral Steps Group
is to be fully self supporting.
Group members take turns leading the weekly meetings. As leaders, we act as trusted servants,
we do not govern.
- Spiral Steps has no
opinion on other issues, Paths or Traditions. Hence our group ought never be drawn into public
controversy.
- Anonymity builds the
trust that serves as our group’s foundation. What we hear, here, let it stay here.
- We agree to place “Principles before
Personalities” in all of our dealings with one another.
- We respect the right of
each individual to follow their chosen spiritual path, accepting that each
person’s path is the right one for them.
