Course Expectations and Classroom Etiquette
This is a professional training with the expectation that we will come together with a certain degree of courtesy and mindfulness. At the same time, we are a community of individuals who hold space for one another from a place of mindfulness and compassion. One of our intentions at Mandorla is to ensure that the learning environment we create, is inclusive and supportive for ALL of our students.
