The Heart of Our Space
Our Agreements
To ensure our live gatherings remain safe and supportive for all, we are built upon a clear and compassionate set of agreements. By engaging with our community in any form, you align with these principles:
Our Legendary Anchors
Confidentiality is Paramount
What is shared in the community, stays in the community.
Practice Mindful Presence
Listen with care. Speak with kindness. Honor each voice.
Lead with Empathy & Non-Judgment
Every journey is unique. Meet others where they are.
This is a Shared Space, Not a Stage
Unsolicited promotion or solicitation is not permitted.
Our Shared Commitments
Honor Diversity and Inclusivity
We embrace differences in background, neurotype, perspective, and belief. Every voice is valued here.
Offer Constructive Feedback
When offering feedback, do so gently and with the intent to support growth. Ensure your words are uplifting, never diminishing.
Take Personal Responsibility
You are the steward of your own well-being. Engage at your own pace and take responsibility for your contributions to the community.
Cultivate Non-Judgment
We refrain from judging others’ experiences, choices, or paths. We celebrate diverse forms of expression and healing.
Code of Conduct: Safety and Boundaries
To protect our space, the following are grounds for immediate removal without warning:
- Hate speech, harassment, or discriminatory behavior
- Threats, intimidation, or violent language
- Malicious trolling, spamming, or disruptive conduct
- Violations of confidentiality or privacy

These anchors and commitments will guide our live Zoom calls and Discord space when they open, ensuring a container built on respect, safety, and heart.
Your Agreement
By participating in the Restored Essence Foundation community spaces, I acknowledge that I have read, understood, and agree to abide by this Community Agreement. I understand that violating these principles may result in my removal from the community to preserve its safety and integrity.
This space is a living, growing entity. We thank you for helping us nurture it with love, patience, and anchored intention.
On the Horizon: Our Live Digital Spaces
We are gently nurturing two live spaces for deeper connection:
The Zoom Lighthouse
A video gathering space for movie nights, guided art sessions, and heartfelt conversation.
The Discord Voyage
An always-on, moderated digital studio featuring our Movie Archive, themed channels for resources, support, and casual connection.
“These spaces will open once our Art Life Certification is complete, ensuring we can hold them with the presence, care, and integrity they deserve.”
A Note from the Founder
“When I started Restored Essence, I dreamed of a space where we could grow together. This space is the heartbeat of that dream. We are building it slowly, with intention, so that when you step inside, you feel held, seen, and safe. Thank you for your patience and your presence.”
