1. Breathe. In case you feel overwhelmed with all the posts, just breathe. Take your time. You're exactly where you're supposed to be, and the feelings are all breadcrumbs. Everything here is optional. 2a. Introduce yourself in the comments here with a story of your name. It might include some cultural context 2b. Share a hope/goal for being a Cycle Breaker. 3. Go into classroom and watch “Start Here”, where it will tell you some guidelines about this community. Reminder: You’re here for you—to figure YOU out and to be in a space where people are learning to be authentic with healthy boundaries and communicating in non violent ways.
