hearing Site Agreement:
This space is first and foremost understood to be one of self-expression and inquiry into the nature of the embodied experience. By accepting this agreement, you agree to maintain this focus, along with every other user on this site, towards the stewarding of this space.
Users of this site will be sharing their personal experience, and their personal ideas, at a very deep level. They will be sharing especially in regards to the embodied process(es) that is(are) most true and/or sacred and/or interesting to them (which may include artistic practices, spiritual practices, or any other form of embodied process. [but is not limited to these]); thus there is intrinsically a profound level of intimacy and depth to the dialogues, which is integral to their transformative value. It is imperative that we honor the preciousness of this, just as we honor the preciousness of nature. By accepting this agreement, you agree to participate in cultivating a space which honors this, and which supports its continued thriving and expansion. We ask that all site participants abide by the following principles in every moment of their engagement with this site, towards this thriving and expansion:
1) All users posts/sharing are intrinsically valuable, with no exterior justification needed.
2) The embodied process and the direct experience are understood to be intrinsically valuable, as well, with no exterior justification needed. They are understood to have been historically suppressed and over burdened with judgment and extraneous filtration, and THUS:
3) It is understood to be absolutely vital that we consciously cultivate a space together as a community which fosters and embraces the heightened level of free expression and inquiry this document points at - one which goes beyond mere free expression as act of ego, to a deeper level of free expression as act of life itself - an act we are privileged to be the conscious stewards of.
We aim to create a space safe for the exploration of the embodied process, the direct experience, and the nature of consciousness. Traditional conversations have filibustered this process, and we consciously discard this now. We consciously discard all paradigms which circumscribe the natural freedom of consciousness, in order to see what sort of conversations ensue from the energy of that shared commitment.
Any posts/sharing which are deemed by moderators to be unlawful, harmful, offensive, threatening, abusive, libelous, harassing, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, profane, hateful, fraudulent, sexually explicit, racially or ethnically pejorative, or otherwise objectionable material of any sort, including, but not limited to, any material that encourages conduct that would constitute a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability, or otherwise violate any applicable local, state, national, or international law, or which is deemed to be otherwise contrary to the spirit of this agreement, will be moderated in the interest of maintaining and cultivating this environment.
Moderators are volunteers, and will do their best to uphold the safe space outlined above. By accepting this agreement, you agree to abide by site moderation, the site Terms of Use Agreement, and to share your direct experience, ideas, and truth as honestly and accurately as possible.
