Community Guidelines

Core Principles

• Treat every member with respect, regardless of their tradition, background, or level of experience.
• Share from personal experience and observation. State opinions as opinions, not facts.
• Approach disagreement with curiosity rather than hostility. Ask questions before making assumptions.
• Respect the sacred sites themselves. Leave no trace, follow local access rules, and honour indigenous custodians.
• Support others on their path without imposing your own beliefs or practices upon them.

Content & Posting

A free account lets you read public content, create posts, comment in discussions, and create and join events. Subscribing (£3.99/month) goes deeper – unlocking every Site Guide, the audio guides, Rory's full Journal archive, subscriber-only community channels, and the ability to start your own group.

• Posts should relate to sacred sites, Earth energy, spiritual practice, geobiology, consciousness, or community events.
• You may share personal experiences, field observations, questions, resources, event announcements, and creative work.
• Tag posts to specific sacred sites where relevant – this helps others find information about places they visit.
• Subscriber-only content should deliver genuine value. Do not use visibility gates as clickbait.
• No spam, no unsolicited promotional posts in site discussions, no repetitive self-promotion.

Discussions & Comments

Every sacred site has its own discussion thread. These are for sharing observations, coordinating visits, and building local knowledge.

• Stay on topic. Site discussions should relate to that specific site or its energy.
• Report changes you observe – energy shifts, line movements, new findings. The community benefits from shared data.
• Welcome newcomers. Not everyone has the same vocabulary or experience level.
• Constructive disagreement is welcome. Personal attacks, mockery, and dismissiveness are not.
• If you have professional expertise (archaeology, geology, history), share it generously but without gatekeeping.

Creator & Marketplace Standards

Creators can sell digital products, event tickets, and subscriber-only content. We take a 10% platform fee; you keep 90%.

• Products must be accurately described. What you advertise is what the buyer receives.
• No false claims of healing or guaranteed outcomes. Spiritual practice is personal and results vary.
• Pricing should reflect genuine value. This is a community, not a place to exploit seekers.
• Event listings must include accurate dates, locations, capacity, and any requirements for attendance.
• Refund requests for digital products should be handled promptly and fairly.
• Do not copy, rebrand, or resell another creator's work without explicit permission.

Sacred Site Etiquette

• Access sacred sites legally and respectfully. If a site is on private land, seek permission.
• Do not remove stones, artefacts, crystals, or natural materials from sites.
• If a site is managed by indigenous custodians, follow their protocols without question.
• Be mindful of others visiting at the same time. Group ceremonies should not prevent individual access.
• Leave offerings only if appropriate to the tradition and the site. Never leave non-biodegradable items.
• Photograph respectfully. Ask permission before photographing other visitors or their ceremonies.

Ways to Celebrate at a Node

These sites are not only to be protected – they are to be enjoyed. Connecting with your local sacred land is a joy, and a celebration is itself an offering. Here are a few ways to make a visit your own – always within the site's own etiquette, honouring its custodians, and leaving no trace:

• Dress the site with local, native flowers in season – gathered mindfully and left to compost back into the earth.
• Bring water from a spring or stream near your home to bless the site, and carry a little back to bless your own garden, plants, or threshold.
• Receive feathers left by the bird tribe as gifts – keep them as prayer feathers, or place them quill-down in the earth as an offering for the next person to find.
• Greet the sunrise or sunset with a moment of gratitude; mark a solstice or equinox simply by being present as the light turns.
• Tone, hum, or sing softly to the land where the site's custodians allow it – and let the place answer.
• Share food and drink with those you came with; a simple communion is one of the oldest ways to honour a place.
• Plant an intention, or a seed – literally or symbolically – to carry the visit home with you.
• Bring children and elders. Wonder passed between generations is the whole point.

When you choose the hour for a gathering, it's also worth avoiding the Void-of-Course Moon – a timing many practitioners avoid for ceremony and celebration.

What Is Not Allowed

• Harassment, bullying, threats, or intimidation of any kind.
• Hate speech, discrimination, or content targeting people based on identity.
• Medical claims or advice that could cause harm. We are not a healthcare platform.
• Content promoting violence, self-harm, or illegal activity.
• Doxxing, sharing private information, or revealing site locations that custodians wish to keep private.
• Scams, pyramid schemes, MLM promotion, or deceptive financial schemes.
• Sexually explicit content.
• AI-generated content presented as personal experience or original research.

Moderation & Enforcement

We moderate with a light touch. The community is trusted to self-regulate through good faith participation. When intervention is needed:

• First violation: Private message from a moderator with guidance.
• Repeated violations: Temporary restriction of posting privileges.
• Serious or deliberate violations: Account suspension or permanent ban.
• Content that violates these guidelines may be removed without notice.

If you see content that violates these guidelines, use the report function. Reports are reviewed within 24 hours.

Email Lists & Privacy

• The platform newsletter is opt-in at signup. You can unsubscribe at any time.
• Creator email lists are separate – subscribing to one creator does not subscribe you to others.
• We never sell, share, or expose member email addresses to third parties.
• Creators may not export subscriber email addresses off-platform without explicit consent.
