We specifically assert that SELT participants commit, by membership, to demonstrate a “deep respect for the individual person, a commitment to the development of each person, and the persuasive attention to the needs of the individual.

In an ongoing pledge to hospitality – to “listening with the ear of your heart” – SELT team members and guests are encouraged to contact a member of the relationship team for discussion about hospitable or inhospitable experiences related to SELT gatherings. Unless otherwise indicated by overt agreement, all such discussions will remain confidential.
