- A meeting can take place anywhere that is quiet enough to talk but easy enough to get to. It is important to have a comfortable setting and feel relaxed. Groups have met in different places ranging from Church meeting rooms to pubs!
- Everything that is said in the privacy of the group stays in the group. It is a confidential place to talk openly.
