Building Safe Havens: Sangha Safety in Meetings and Online Communities

As community and individual rights, we have the right, we all have the right to be here without people gossiping or having aggressive speech.
How can we create safe and welcoming spaces for those on their recovery journey? This episode of the Buddhist Recovery Network Podcast dives into this crucial topic, addressing the multifaceted concept of 'sangha safety'. Recorded at the International Buddhist Recovery Summit in Lacey, WA, this discussion is packed with practical advice and thoughtful insights on how to foster security and trust within both physical meetings and virtual communities.
The conversation touches on essential questions like setting intentions for safety, crafting effective safety statements, and ensuring online spaces are just as secure as in-person gatherings. The episode also highlights the importance of ethics and conflict resolution training, as well as the need for local support and accountability among moderators. One participant poignantly states, 'We all have the right to be here without people gossiping or having aggressive speech', underscoring the episode's focus on self-acceptance and community rights.
Whether you're a newcomer or a seasoned practitioner, this episode offers valuable guidance on creating environments where everyone feels safe and respected.
