One persons perspective on the characteristics of a spirituality group:

   * "a space for dialogue not a debating team,

   * a space where diversity is nurtured, where judgment and guilt are suspended,

   * a sanctuary and safe place where words are quietly spoken, yet with passion,

   * a respectful place where an individual’s discomfort and healing path are honored with gentle words of encouragement and understanding"
