Over the past three decades, The Co-Creator’s Agreements have been shared with thousands of individuals and groups around the world. They create a strong foundation for building resonance and avoiding misunderstandings or feelings of separation. For many teams and families, these Agreements serve as their guiding principles and an expression of their basic values. For a downloadable copy click here.
