At Peace House, we are guided by Buddhist teachings and practice. As practitioners, teachers
and hosts to our guests, we therefore hold ourselves to the highest ethical standards. This
includes upholding the buddha-nature (dignity) of all who come to Peace House, valuing
difference, maintaining clear personal and spiritual boundaries, and responding to distress with
skill and loving-kindness.
We see raising concerns as an expression of compassion and right action. If you have
experienced or witnessed conduct that raises concerns —including inappropriate behavior,
boundary violations, abuse of authority or harm caused by a teacher, staff member, or
participant—we encourage you to report it.
Here, you can share a concern about conduct by the director. Concerns are reviewed by the
Board Chair and legal counsel. The Director does not receive these reports.
Reports are reviewed carefully and handled with discretion. We aim to keep reporters informed
where possible, while also protecting the privacy of those involved.
Peace House does not permit retaliation for raising a concern.
