The Complete Field Guide to Zero Masking Mentors Events

Zero Masking Mentors Official Code
1. You are the Expert on your Body

Autonomy and Consent are Absolute. Full autonomy to stand, stim, or relocate at any time. No permission needed to honor your needs.

2. Privacy of Space and Stories

Respect the "Vegas Rule" of Community. Personal stories or experiences shared within our group stay within the group.

3. Shame-Free Participation

Support Over Performance. We replace judgmental language with neutral terms like "spoon energy." If you hit a "Wall of Awful," you are supported.

4. Honor the Intersection

Respect for the Unique Brain. We respect names, pronouns, and identities. We offer shared experiences rather than unsolicited advice.
