What it is

A written or spoken promise about how you will not abandon your own consent, care, or truth.

When it may help: When relationships, institutions, or urgency blur personal limits.

Minimum version

“I will not call self-erasure love.”

Full version

  1. Name what you protect.
  2. Name what you will no longer trade away.
  3. Name how you will seek help.
  4. Name how the covenant may be revised.

Object-free and accessible alternative

The covenant may be spoken, recorded, symbolized, or held privately.

Safety, consent, and limits

Safety boundary

A covenant is not a substitute for legal protection, medical care, or a safety plan. This spiritual practice does not diagnose or treat illness and does not replace professional care.
