The Whiteness Havruta (WH) community is your space to connect, create, share, and inspire. Our goal for this group is for WH participants (WHniks) to get support, and offer support to each other. It's up to us to keep the official WH community a safe, brave, accepting, and encouraging space for everyone, so please read and agree to the guidelines below. In the near future, you'll receive an email with a link to join the WH Facebook Group.
You and/or your organization’s payment covers your access to all program materials for the direction of the 6 month program and for the remainder of the calendar year of 2021.
Upon enrolling in the WH program, you are added to the Joyous Justice email list. You can opt to unsubscribe. (We should probably just have this as an option on the registration form)
Be kind. We have a zero tolerance policy for negativity, bullying, drama, gossip, or toxic energy. Encourage and support your fellow WHniks. Never make anyone feel unwelcome or judged; treat everyone with love and acceptance. If you disagree or have an opposing viewpoint to share, do it with respect, honor, and from a place of compassion. Spirited debate about ideas or concepts is awesome, personal attacks are not. If you can’t be kind, be quiet. Violation of this rule is grounds for immediate and permanent removal from the community without a refund.
No venting. This is a no venting zone: about Catherine, April, the Joyous Justice Team, the WH program, or anyone else, WHnik or not. We don’t put anyone down, be it other programs, teachers or people. This applies to issues with other WHniks as well. Do not create drama by posting “A certain WHnik did X and I’m so upset” or “Someone in this group did Y, that wasn’t cool.” If you have an issue or grievance — either with the program, or each other, bring it directly to the party you have issue with. Find resolution. It’s the adult and responsible thing to do. If you feel it’s important for us to know, please take screenshots, collect your records of the transactions or communications, and write [email protected]. We encourage accountability and will take action if necessary.
Be generous. Give more than you ask. Share what you’re working on, but keep a larger emphasis on sharing support, wisdom, and encouragement. Think 3:1. Give 3X more support, insight, and encouragement than you ask for.
Don’t promote your work or services. The primary intention of the community is to stay connected to your classmates, share ideas, get and give support, and to form genuine connections. It’s not a place to find customers, or recruit people to other programs or groups (even free ones). Be upfront, clear, and honest. Let your business make you money genuinely, share from a place of learning and helping, and use this community as an educational support system. If you promote yourself or your services, your post will be removed.
Be ethical and original. Don’t copy, steal or share other people’s intellectual property. Don’t reuse or repurpose other WHniks’ content. If you have a question or case of infringement, write to the party directly. Be sure to take screenshots and capture all communication to prove your case. If you need further assistance, write us directly at [email protected]. We take these issues seriously and it is grounds for possible removal from the program and community. If we find that you are only here to take others’ work as your own, this is NOT the place for you and you will be removed without refund.
Don’t spam, mass mail or violate privacy. Never email or contact other members without their permission, or add people to your newsletter list. Violating this is grounds for immediate removal without refund. If in doubt — write [email protected]. We’re always here to help finesse any situation; better safe than sorry.
Do your due diligence. If you decide to hire anyone or create any contractual relationship (verbally or written) with someone you’ve met through your membership in B-School, you do so at your own risk. Please do your due diligence and always get clear, written contracts and service agreements in place. While we love to believe everyone in the world is honest and ethical, that’s just not the case. Whiteness Havruta, Joyous Justice, Catherine Bell Consulting and/or April Baskin and Catherine Bell are not responsible for any loss of revenue, damages, breach of contract, or any other unfavorable circumstance as a result of that relationship.
Refunds are not available once the program has begun.
