🎶 Community Practice Spotlight: We Welcome and Respect All Stories, Dances, and Songs Equally 🎶
This InterPlay principle invites us to show up in our truth, while holding space for multiple truths. It reminds us that every voice is valid and sacred — even (especially) when they’re different from our own.

✨ How do we make room for diverse stories while honoring boundaries, consent, and confidentiality?

💬 Reflection prompt:
When have you felt your story was truly heard and honored? What helped create that safety?

👇 Comment below — your voice matters here, too.

🌈 Community Practice Spotlight: We All Get to Show Up as We Are 🌈
You are enough — just as you are. In this InterPlay principle, we celebrate our whole selves: our gifts, our edges, our imperfections. There is room for all of you here.

✨ How often do you feel like you can truly show up without needing to perform or explain?

💬 Reflection prompt:
What does it mean to you to be able to show up fully? What helps you feel safe doing so?

👇 Let’s build a thread of encouragement and honesty — share in the comments.
