House Rules
The room has its own gravity
A few expectations, shared by everyone who enters — so the room keeps its character, evening after evening.
01
Be present
Give the room your attention. Limit using devices, but capturing a moment tastefully - a photograph, a note - is encouraged, so long as it never distracts the speaker or the room.
02
Listen first
Every session begins with a single voice. Hold your questions and your opinions until the room opens up.
03
Keep confidences
What's shared in the room stays in the room. Treat every story as it was offered - generously, and in trust.
04
Bring curiosity, not ego
No selling, no self-promotion, no stacking of cards. Come to learn something you couldn't have learned alone.
05
Pass the spark on
If the evening leaves you with something worth sharing, share it. Nominate the next voice. Keep the room turning.
