MEETING ETIQUETTE
Bhakti Recovery Group – Online Meeting Etiquette
To keep our space safe, respectful, and spiritually nourishing, please follow these guidelines when joining a BRG online meeting:
​
Anonymity & Privacy
Protect Anonymity: No recording, screenshots, or sharing of anything from the meeting.
Zoom Name: Use only your first name or a chosen anonymous name.
Use Headphones: Especially in shared spaces, to maintain others’ privacy.
Respectful Participation
Follow the Flow: Stick to the meeting format and agenda.
No Cross-Talk: Avoid interrupting or responding to others' shares.
Raise Your Hand: Use the “Raise Hand” feature to share when it’s your turn.
Mute When Not Speaking: Background noise can be distracting.
Be Mindful of Time: Keep your shares concise to allow space for others.
Speak Clearly: Share slowly and clearly so everyone can hear.
Mindful Presence
Arrive Early: Come a few minutes before the start to settle in.
Avoid Multitasking: Give your full attention to the meeting.
Dress Respectfully: Please dress as you would for an in-person meeting.
Watch What You Do on Camera: Avoid smoking, eating junk food, or wearing revealing clothing on screen. We're an all-addictions group—let’s be sensitive to each other.
Body Language Matters: Stay present and mindful of how you show up on screen.
Language & Behavior
Keep It Clean: Please avoid cursing or graphic language.
Respect the Host: Follow any reminders or directions during the meeting.
Be Ready to Share: If you’re sharing, introduce yourself by first name and speak from your experience.
