Where is the Commons hosted?
The Commons is a mix of ongoing conversation and live virtual gatherings.
Our community hub is located on a private platform called Circle, which supports threaded, organized conversations you can explore and engage with at your own pace.
Every few weeks, we also host a live, members-only meetup on Zoom. We use these sessions to get to know each other better, dive deep on a specific topic, or welcome a guest speaker. This is also how we host our book club.
Is the community moderated?
Yes! By me and the School of Joy team. We're here to hold space and help things run smoothly, but we also participate like any other member.
Can I form one-on-one connections?
Absolutely. We've designed the community to facilitate just that. If someone shares something that resonates live or in the chat, we encourage you to reach out and keep the conversation going. Our member directory (located inside our private platform) will help you find members who live nearby or share common interests.
What kind of things do you talk about?
All things related to cultivating joy. For example, in one week we covered practices for tuning intuition, family culture around play and games, small daily joys, and how to make the most of a day off.
Do I have to commit long-term?
No! Membership to the Commons is a monthly subscription -- join or leave anytime.
