Welcome to the Inner Isles community—a space for the curious, the courageous, and the kind. We're all here to walk our own winding paths and to support each other as fellow explorers. These guidelines help make sure we do that with respect, honesty, and a sense of shared adventure.
By participating in any community feature—whether that's leaving a note on someone's profile, sharing a book in the Library, joining a discussion in Discourse, or offering a high five during a trek—you agree to follow these values and expectations.
What We Value
-
→
Respect – Every person's journey is unique. We listen before we speak, and we honor different perspectives.
-
→
Vulnerability – This is a space to be real, not perfect. We make room for honesty, not performance.
-
→
Curiosity over certainty – We ask, explore, and wonder. We don't rush to fix or label.
-
→
Encouragement – Whether someone is thriving or struggling, we meet them with compassion and support.
-
→
Adventurous living – Growth means taking risks. We celebrate trying, failing, and trying again.
-
→
Consent in conversation – We give advice only when it's been asked for. No fixing, no diagnosing—just walking alongside.
What's Not Welcome
-
→
Hate speech, harassment, or discriminatory language of any kind
-
→
Judging or shaming others for where they're at
-
→
Toxic positivity ("Just be grateful!") that ignores real struggle
-
→
Diagnosing or labeling others (e.g., "You sound like you have anxiety")
-
→
Unsolicited advice or coaching
-
→
Tearing down someone's progress or belittling their goals
-
→
Spamming, self-promotion, or selling anything
How We Handle Violations
We believe in growth, not perfection—so if something goes sideways, we'll give you a heads-up and a chance to reflect and reset. Here's how it works:
Gentle Reminder – We'll reach out with a private message if a post or comment crosses a line.
Warning – If the behavior continues, we may issue a formal warning and remove content.
Removal – In cases of repeated harm or serious violations (e.g., hate speech), we reserve the right to suspend or remove access without warning.
Questions or Concerns?
If you see something that feels off—or if you're not sure if a message you're drafting is in the right spirit—reach out to us at hello@innerisles.club. We're here to help, not to police.
Final Word
We're building something rare here: a brave, kind space where you can show up as yourself. These guidelines are just a trail map to help us stay oriented. Thanks for walking it with us.
