2024 Fairy Tale Medicine Guidelines

Please refer to these guidelines for our Zoom calls and all other interactions we have together.

This journey is open to everyone and we always strive to create diverse spaces and keep on developing them and making them more diverse. We love our trans community and gender diverse family and they are very welcome. So please be mindful and if unsure tell someone your pronouns or ask what they would like you to use. If this is new to you it can be a great expansive rich learning! We may not all be in a sisterhood or have wombs or identify in the same way. The language of the book is aimed towards women and is of its time - we seek to challenge that and develop juicy inclusive versions - this is a work in progress.

Speak your own truth and listen to others sharing with respect and from the heart. We invite you to say what you really feel while remaining respectful and compassionate towards other. Try to listen with curiosity rather than judgement. Speak for yourself, not for others. it helps to use “ I feel…… I want …. I think ….” statements rather that “ we all feel…we want … we think “ statements- this is also good practice for life.

We all agree to take responsibility for our experience & for the collective space and energy we bring into the group - some groups are so juicy and havens of magic and gorgeousness - that is up to us all to create.

We are not here to fix one another (there is nothing to be fixed). No advice giving unless it is asked for and even then resist !!!. I know that is hard for many of us. The circle is a space to be witnessed and heard rather than offering solutions to others - it isn’t our place to attempt to solve someone’s situation and it’s good practice to not rescue.

This is strictly a NO selling or promotion space, even if what you want to share is free. Clare and Sarah will share resources - be they products or services - that they themselves have experienced, trust and recommend and that are relevant to the stories we’re exploring. If you’re unsure about something you’d like to post, please check in with us first.

The space is confidential - please remember this when witnessing others sharing. Please, do not share posts or zoom calls outside of this group and ask for permission to share art, poems and content if you are unsure.

We hope to create a powerful container for creativity, transformation and connection everyone.

We both have like so many of us other commitments and aren’t available 24/7 so we really appreciate you giving time to respond to your enquiries etc. This is only part of the work we do and the responsibilities we have.

We are grateful for you and for your attention around these ground rules in co creating this space with us. If you would like us to add anything to help the space feel safer please contact us

Guidelines for contacting us:
If you have any questions or are confused about anything, don't hesitate to email us. We'd love to hear from you and we would rather you check things out than worry and we also like getting your poems, reflections and feedback.

Please bear in mind when contacting us that we are two women, who like all of us have feelings, commitments and other things to juggle. Sarah has a beautiful energetic little boy who she home educates and she also runs her own businesses, and Clare holds many spaces for people and works in the community with many social projects. Clare is also still in the middle of deep grief and is writing a book.

We understand what it is to juggle, wobble and get stressed too and we will hold you all gently and kindly - please do the same with us when in contact with us. In our instant world we often expect instant attention and answers but we cannot always give you this. We are not available 24//7 and we are not a big corporation with many customer service staff! We hope the below helps.
