| | <poem>Oh Come |
| | Oh Come |
| | Sweet Austin Town |
| | and Hark! |
| | The Hotel Herald sings |
| | of hallways strangely patterned round a tide of blood that's glistening! |
| | A Ding! A Dong! |
| | Oh something's wrong |
| | with Wendy, Jack, and Danny Boy. |
| | Their Holiday |
| | All work, no play, |
| | A talking finger as a toy! |
| | Permit us here to make it clear |
| | that Mr Kringle will appear |
| | that creepy twins will deck the halls |
| | with chopping axes, booze for all! |
| | So gather round ye yuletide clowns |
| | and light a candle, |
| | stop the glooming, |
| | pray for snow and twilight glow |
| | prepare ye way |
| | for |
| | THE SHABOOMING!</poem> |

| ===Community Agreements===
| |
| From: The Agreements for Multicultural Interactions at the East Bay Meditation Center, Adapted from Visions Inc, “Guidelines for Productive Work Sessions” www.visions-inc.org
| |
| | |
| * Try It On: Be willing to “try on” new ideas, or ways of doing things that might not be what you prefer or are familiar with.
| |
| * Practice Self Focus: Attend to and speak about your own experiences and responses. Do not speak for a whole group or express assumptions about the experience of others.
| |
| * Understand the Difference Between Intent & Impact: Try to understand and acknowledge impact. Denying the impact of something said by focusing on intent is often more destructive than the initial interaction.
| |
| * Practice “Both / And”: When speaking, substitute “and” for “but”. This practice acknowledges and honors multiple realities.
| |
| * Refrain from Blaming or Shaming Self & Others: Practice giving skillful feedback.
| |
| * Move Up / Move Back: Encourage full participation by all present. Take note of who is speaking and who is not. If you tend to speak often, consider “moving back” and vice versa.
| |
| * Practice Mindful Listening: Try to avoid planning what you’ll say as you listen to others. Be willing to be surprised, to learn something new. Listen with your whole self.
| |
| * Confidentiality: Take home learnings, but don’t identify anyone other than yourself, now or later. If you want to follow up with anyone regarding something they said during a session, ask first and respect their wishes.
| |
| * Right to Pass: You can say “I pass” if you don’t wish to speak.
