Our mission at Pace is to unlock emotional connection together. Each group fosters a space for members to experience connection, insight, and personal change. Hateful behavior hinders the member and group experience, jeopardizing the opportunity to experience connection and meaningful, personal change.

Pace is for everyone. We’re committed to ensuring a space where everyone is welcomed as they are - fully themselves. Given this, we strictly prohibit behavior that directly targets members with abuse based on the perceived membership in a protected category.

Don’t be a bystander - if you are aware of behavior that violates this policy, [please report it to us ASAP.](mailto:[email protected]?subject=Abusive%20behavior)
