Sacred Circle Rules:

1) Creativity flourishes in a place of safety and acceptance.

2) Creativity grows among friends and withers among enemies.

3) All creative ideas are children who deserve protection.

4) All creative success requires creative failure.

5) Fulfilling our creativity is a sacred trust.

6) Violating someone's creativity violates a sacred trust.

7) Creative feedback must support the creative child, never shame it.

8 ) Creative feedback must build on strengths, never focus on weaknesses.

9) Success is born in clusters and is born in generosity.

10) The good of another can never block our own.
