Virtual Village Guidelines
Welcome to the Virtual Village, a sacred space for us all to come together in community, integrity, and accountability. These guidelines ensure that we maintain a safe, respectful, and supportive environment for all participants, fostering a culture of responsibility, deep listening, and conscious engagement.
1. Integrity & Accountability
-
Each member is responsible for their own presence, participation, and energy in this space.
-
Show up with honesty, transparency, and a commitment to self-awareness.
-
Uphold ethical engagement and ensure that your actions align with the core values of respect, humility, and integrity.
-
If you are experiencing challenges, seek appropriate support, and do not project personal struggles onto the group.
-
Be willing to self-reflect and take ownership of your contributions to the space.
2. Active Listening & Non-Interference
-
This is a space for mutual reflection, deep witnessing, and intentional listening—not therapy or unsolicited advice.
-
Unless explicitly invited to provide reflections, refrain from offering interpretations, corrections, or personal solutions.
-
Listen with the intent to understand, not to respond or fix.
-
Be fully present—avoid multitasking, distractions, or speaking over others.
-
If you feel called to share guidance, ask for permission first and be mindful of whether it is truly in service to the recipient.
3. Therapeutic Boundaries
-
This space is not a substitute for professional therapy, medical support, or crisis intervention.
-
Only our designated team of coaches and trained professionals provide therapeutic guidance when appropriate.
-
If a situation requires deeper support beyond the scope of this space, we direct individuals to the appropriate professional resources.
-
Do not assume the role of a healer, therapist, or guide unless explicitly entrusted with that responsibility by the community leadership.
4. Confidentiality & Trust
-
What is shared in the Virtual Village remains within the Virtual Village. This space relies on trust and discretion.
-
Personal experiences, struggles, and insights shared by members must be held in the highest confidence.
-
Avoid sharing stories or personal details of others without explicit permission.
-
Respect the privacy of all members and refrain from discussing or referencing shared information outside of this space.
5. Respectful and Conscious Communication
-
Speak with clarity, kindness, and respect.
-
Use "I" statements to share from personal experience rather than making assumptions or generalizations.
-
If conflict arises, approach it with openness, humility, and a willingness to engage in conscious resolution.
-
Cultivate an awareness of the impact of your words and tone—our language shapes the energetic container of this space.
-
Do not dominate conversations; ensure that space is equitably shared among participants.
6. Commitment to the Path
-
This is a space for those dedicated to integrity within the work of plant medicine.
-
Engage with sincerity, humility, and a commitment to personal and collective evolution.
-
Recognize that growth requires self-reflection, adaptability, and accountability.

Support one another while maintaining personal responsibility for your own healing journey.
