WELCOME
It seems to me that so many people want someone to guide, to teach, to comfort, to sit with them. Sometimes, we might even wish someone would just tell us what to do, and even someone competent and willing to help us accomplish the task at hand. We can find community and purpose in spiritual communities, in religion, in careers, in being parents, in being friends, in being lovers, in creating, in serving, in giving, in pleasure, in rest.
One thing is certain, no matter who we are or where we fall on the vast spectrum of humanity, the answers we really need are within us, not with some external source. Others can offer guidance, advice, comfort-- sometimes control, for better or for worse-- but no one has the answers for us except us. Therefore, the content here will be less about moral advice and more about encouraging conversations and habits that lead to a more intimate understanding of what works best for us as individuals.
Sometimes we prefer to be on the outside looking in, and sometimes the center of attention. Everyones center of balance is unique though, and encouraging each other to lead with our most authentic selves is critical to a thriving community. Conversely, uniformity strangles our communities.
The only requirement for participation is the capacity to be Honest, Open-minded, and Willing. Members are expected to be respectful of each others views, and respectful when sharing their views. We encourage members to take what they are able to apply to their own lives, and let go of whatever does not apply to them. We encourage members to participate through asks, dms, submissions, sharing our content, donations, participating in gatherings, and investing in their own Labor(s) of Love.
We are choosing to launch our ministry across a variety of social media platforms for the sake of accessibility. We realize that some people will not wish to interact with us this way, and others will be curious about using social media in a more intentional way with us. We encourage our members to participate in the ways that speak to them, and to use all media with intention and discretion.
In closing I feel it important to clarify some of our core beliefs. Our primary purpose is to be a universally safe, accessible, and affirming community. To accomplish this we cannot hold space for pedophilia, racism, transphobia or any queerphobia, ableism, body shaming, sexism, acts of violence, hate speech, or the abuse of children or vulnerable persons. We are a home for anyone seeking community and a more fulfilling way to live, and we agree to be patient and find compromise with each other so long as we are all committed to loving each other in this regard.
I look forward to meeting and growing with you all.
Cheers!
Dani 🌸
