Our membership and community guidelines aim to establish a fair, uplifting and welcoming environment for all members, while also upholding the primary intentions for THE FIELD: 1) providing a powerful experience and guidance for your personal growth and spiritual development, and 2) fostering a community of expansive, visionary people who are on their journey to their highest self expression and creation.
By joining THE FIELD, you agree to follow the following guidelines to preserve this group’s experience, coherence and integrity. These guidelines may be updated at any time.
1. Choose Respect and Love
Treat all members with fairness, kindness, care and respect. Everyone of us is contributing to THE FIELD, so be aware of the energy and expectations you're bringing. If you post a message or reply to a post or comment, do so with understanding and contribute something that acknowledges the person on the other side, so everyone can benefit as a whole. This membership will thrive when we focus on giving as well as receiving, whilst fully respecting one another and our various perspectives and beliefs.
2. Give and Add Value
Giving and adding value creates a reciprocal environment, where you benefit as much as others. By contributing to others, we'll collectively elevate our own growth and freedom well beyond the membership itself. Approach every interaction with generosity. Share your knowledge, experiences, and insight thoughtfully, without expectation of a response, knowing that your contribution can considerably impact others on their journey.
3. Suspend Hate Speech, Discrimination, and Bullying
Avoid using offensive language, slurs, threats or engaging in personal attacks. We stand against all forms of discrimination, dehumanizing or unlawful treatment of others.
Do not share or promote hate speech, discriminatory comments, or any form of harassment based on race, religion, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or any other characteristic. This includes mean-spirited remarks or repeated and unwanted advances towards any group member. Please direct any conflicts that cannot be resolved directly to us via email so that they can be looked into and resolved effectively.
We reserve the right, at our complete discretion, to remove any comments or posts that our admins identify as intentionally aggravating or inflammatory.
4. Honour Privacy and Consent
What is shared in THE FIELD, stays in THE FIELD. This applies to information shared in any of the spaces and private messages. Always obtain consent before sharing someone's publicly shared information or any content/media that includes them. If you're not sure, default to respecting members' privacy.
5. Avoid Spamming with Messages, Promotions and Solicitations
Please avoid posting excessive messages, subtle or overt advertisements, excessively sharing your story or sharing irrelevant content, such as memes or forwards, especially for one's own benefit. Consider what is truly in service to others and the membership. We reserve the right, at our complete discretion, to remove any comments or posts that our admins identify as promotions, solicitations, or spam.
Solicitation is also not allowed. Posts, comments or private messages that offer commercial services or free products or spaces, and / or that encourage members to proceed into any given product or offering will be deleted. If someone is repeatedly approaching you, please contact us with the details via email so that it can be looked into and resolved effectively.
6. Coaching and Guiding Others
Please be mindful that members are not here in a coaching or guiding capacity. While thoughts, insights and acknowledgements are welcome, offering coaching, advice, direction, or guidance to fellow members, whether in the group space or via private message, is not permitted so that members feel safe and supported without feeling coached or redirected by others in the membership.
If you are a coach, healer, or practitioner, we ask that you be especially mindful of this boundary, as this space is not a place to offer or carry out your professional services. Please refer to Guideline 5 regarding solicitation.
Should you feel that a member has overstepped this boundary, please gently bring it to their attention. If the behaviour continues, reach out to us via email so that it can be addressed with care and fairness.
7. Report Violations of Conduct
If you feel any of these guidelines have been violated, please first gently remind the person with compassion. If there is a continual issue or someone feels directly threatened and not supported by the membership, email us with the details.
If we identify a violation, we may, at our discretion, opt to delete it without further comment and without notifying the person. Continual violations of our guidelines are most likely to result in a permanent ban.
8. Welcome Differences
If you are in disagreement with another member, we encourage you to initiate a direct conversation with that individual rather than continue the disagreement in a group space. If that person is not willing to engage in a direct conversation, we encourage you to consider the conversation closed rather than to persist with the discussion within the group space. We kindly request all to approach interactions with a sincere intention to discover common ground and foster understanding, even if there are differences in beliefs and values. It is possible to love and respect someone who holds contrasting viewpoints
Overall, you will find this membership to be an uplifting energy and space. We thank you for following these guidelines so that everyone has the opportunity to experience a joyful, open and supportive environment.
