Community Partnerships

Mutual Benefit Through Expanding Boundaries
"Community cannot feed for long on itself; it can only flourish where always the boundaries are giving way to the coming of others from beyond them—unknown and undiscovered brothers [and sisters]."
Howard Thurman

Meditation Mind is a global community providing a friendly space on Discord for anyone practicing—or interested in—meditation and mindfulness.

We are a diverse and inclusive all-ages community with a wholesome and welcoming atmosphere where members can discuss all kinds of secular and religious meditation, mindfulness, and contemplative practices, including somatic practices, as well as general well-being and self-improvement.

While the above scope is quite expansive, discussion does tend to lean in certain directions, leaving some topics with limited exposure. There are also certain aspects of these themes that are not appropriate for discussion in an all-ages community. These are just a couple of the many reasons that we recognize the value in community partnerships.

However, we take partnerships very seriously, as we consider partnership to be a type of endorsement. Before proposing a community partnership, we ask that you review the following list of requirements (click for details) to ensure that our communities would be a good fit.

Partner Community Requirements

While we fully support the establishment of new communities, we do not generally consider them for partnership. As a community grows, it will undergo many stages of evolution, during which the values and culture may shift. We cannot confidently endorse a community that has not settled into a reasonably stable sense of identity. Furthermore, partnerships should be mutually beneficial, and growing your server does not benefit our members.

While the finer details may vary, we expect our partner communities to share a similar vision of bringing people together in community to support each other as we proceed along this journey called life, with the recognition that our paths are all deeply interconnected.

While the connection does not need to be intimate, themes should be relevant. Partnership is not meant to replace server discovery or a Google search.

If your community shares a similar vision, it will likely offer a compatible atmosphere. Differences in culture and general approach are fine, as long as there is a shared foundation of similar underlying values, such as kindness, respect, and inclusivity. Our members should feel comfortable visiting your community.

Having a partners channel littered with countless irrelevant servers takes away any real meaning behind partnership, as such a list generally indicates a lack of standards, and partners just get lost in the noise.

All activity within Discord is subject to the Discord Terms of Service and Discord Community Guidelines. As a Discord Partner community, we take compliance seriously, and we expect our partner communities to do so as well.

If your community meets the above requirements and you feel that a partnership would be mutually beneficial, please contact us on the Meditation Mind Discord server, via ModMail. You may also email us, if you prefer. Please include a server invite, your community name, a brief description, and why you think a partnership would be beneficial. Our team will discuss and get back to you.
