GUIDELINES FOR THE ART OF BEING AND TRANSFORMATION COMMUNITY
Our guidelines are strictly enforced in order to provide a positive experience for all.
Welcome to The ART of Being and Transformation Community, brought to you by Cup of JoJo. This worldwide community is designed to be a safe place to explore and share your creative journey. As our community continues to grow, it is our goal to maintain a collaborative, engaging, and safe tone. As such we ask that all members read and follow these community guidelines.
- Be kind and courteous
It is our intention to create a welcoming and supportive environment. We ask that you maintain a spirit of goodwill and mutual respect, holding the intention that we are all doing our best in a given moment.Please avoid passing judgement on other members’ posts especially in ways that might negate their experience. If you feel a post is inappropriate for our group, you may contact the moderators directly. Do not take it upon yourself to tell someone their post is inappropriate.
Please only give constructive feedback if it has been requested.
If you disagree with someone in the group, we ask that you take it outside of the group posting space to resolve.
Do feel free to ask questions and post artwork using the techniques from the course.
- No hate speech, trolling, or bullying
Bullying of any kind isn’t allowed, and degrading comments about race, religion, culture, sexual orientation, gender or identity will not be tolerated.
- No political posts, non-approved promotions, or spam
No selling, self-promotion, cross-promotion, or irrelevant posts/links/images are allowed. We also ask that you keep this space free of political discussions – If you wish to share an image, or other inspiration, please say a little about why you are sharing it.If you would like to share something you are unsure of, please feel free to contact an administrator/moderator – we are happy to help.
This community is an extension of Cup of JoJo, and as such, we will periodically share relevant offerings from Cup of JoJo and the guides who so graciously share their knowledge with us.
- Images
If you use images from the internet make sure that they are not covered by copyright, there are sources which are available and if using someone’s photograph ask their permission. I find a lot of inspiration from photographers on Instagram and request their permission.
- Guidelines for Nudity and Political Art
As artists, we are open to all thought-provoking material.Do take a moment to blur the intimate areas of the body as may be offensive or inappropriate for some members.
Do not post anything that would be considered overtly erotic or pornographic.
Do post-political art that is thought-provoking, but do not post strong political descriptions that go with the art. Attacks or arguments will not be tolerated within the comments.
- Honour members’ privacy
Though you are more than welcome to post about your experience here on your personal Facebook page and other media, please do not repost members’ posts to your personal page without permission from the member. This will help ensure trust and integrity in our group.
- Groups
There is one closed community group.This group is only visible to those registered.
- Registration
Your registration is for you alone.
- Moderation
The group Moderators maintain the right to delete posts, or in rare cases, revoke membership, of any group member without refund who is not able to abide by these community standards.
- This is a community for learning and exploring our creative journey, it is intended to be your safe space to go out of your creative comfort zone so I invite you to learn to allow the space between where you are and wish to be to inspire you rather than fill you with dread and freeze you. This is your space to come together for growth encouragement and inspiration to be a more rounded artist which is assisted by constructive feedback when requested.
- Hours
If you request constructive feedback the community will respond with kind encouraging feedback.
Your guides will have provided all the learning material for you within the course, please do not expect feedback from your guide to every student and every post.
Please allow 48 hours for a response bearing in mind weekends and holidays are just that.
Carry on Creating and inspiring- Jo Alam and The ART of Being and Transformation team.
