Beautiful Souls Community Guidelines
The Beautiful Souls Community is a soft space where members are encouraged to show up in good faith and hold space for each other's vulnerabilities as we expand through mindfulness and heart connection.
Guidelines
-Please treat each soul with the same respect, kindness, and mindful consideration that you'd like to be treated with.
-Discriminatory, harassing, or abusive behavior will not be tolerated in any form.
-No soliciting of any kind.
-All members are responsible for safeguarding the confidentiality of their login information and account.
-Zoom links and community resources are provided for active members of the Beautiful Souls Community. Please do not share community resources with nonmembers. Instead, please guide them to sign up for membership at asoulcalledjoel.com
Guidelines for Live Zoom Sessions
To create a respectful and focused environment for all, please be mindful of your on-screen movements during live meditation sessions. If your movements are not recognized as a mindfulness practice, you will receive a direct message with a gentle reminder to turn off your camera until you are settled for your practice.
Recognized mindfulness practices include:
- Seated Meditation
- Journaling
- Yoga
- Qi Gong
- Walking Meditation
In this shared space, everyone contributes to the collective energy and intention. If you are busy with daily errands but want to connect through intentional listening, we ask that you keep your camera off. To maintain a mindful atmosphere, repetitive disturbances may lead to the temporary pausing of your video.
To ensure everyone stays present during the meditation, we kindly ask that you refrain from commenting in the Zoom chat once the daily question and reading are complete and the practice begins. If you have something to share related to the practice, we encourage you to use the Beautiful Souls community platform at asoulcalledjoel.com. This allows the conversation to continue outside of the live Zoom session.
Starting Monday December 9th, our moderators will disable the chat feature during meditation to minimize distractions. We'll then re-enable it for sharing farewells and Namaste blessings at the session's end.
Additionally, to support safe driving habits and overall safety, we ask that you also keep your video off if you are listening to meditations or sharing circles while driving. If you are driving and would like to participate in a sharing circle, we ask that you pull over and stop your car to share, ensuring your presence and safety.
If you have any questions, please email La'Shawn or Ella at the emails below, and we'll get back to you as soon as possible.
Welcome to the community, beautiful soul.
Much love and light.
