Calm Community
a safe space to cultivate calm together
Calm Community helps people, professionals and practitioners foster resilience, growth and deep connection with like minded people through weekly meetings, discussions, and special events in the community platform because we believe we can prevent and reduce conflict together.
Do any of these describe you right now?
You could benefit from more calm, clarity, accountability and alignment in your life
You are struggling with stress, conflict and/or trauma, making it hard to function
You are experiencing vicarious trauma from trying to help others and you want a support network
We are here for you!
Healing, growth and resilience take place in relationships and communities. If we are to help ourselves and the people we love, we must also take care of ourselves in community.
Calm Community exits to hold safe spaces for healing, growth, and curious conversations
-
Safe Space
This is a private space where all members are vetted and moderated. Aside from the main area, the groups are private for specific program participants.
There are no ads, spam, mindless scrolling, or distractions.
Calm exists here.
-
Program Groups
There are private groups for my program participants where they can be in community both during and after the programs, coaching, and group coaching.
It is a great way for cohorts ot continue to connect and be in relationship with one another.
-
Accessible and Affordable
To make this important work accessible and affordable, this community is free for clients and program participants. I do offer pay what you can for my clients.
If you would like to support my work, there are opportunities to donate on the website.

Curious and Critical Conversations
It’s important to be able to discuss topics without fear of being triggered or attacked. Other social networks go largely unmoderated. Here we should be able to learn from one another without causing harm. If harm does occur, we will aim to repair harm (like in restorative practices) and learn from it.

No, this is not a requirement. The community is another resources that coaching clients a program participants get for free. It can support them and keep them in community after they complete their initial work with me.

Calm Community originally started as Conflict Community (which is still included here as a private group!). I decided to have one community for most of my programs, with private groups for the different types of people I work with.
