Community Guidelines

Practice Hub Community Standards & Code of Ethics Our Commitment The Awakened Insights Practice Hub was created as a safe, respectful, and ethical environment where developing and experienced practitioners can strengthen their abilities through authentic practice. Every member,whether a practitioner or sitter,is expected to contribute to a culture built on integrity, compassion, accountability, and professionalism. Participation in the Practice Hub is a privilege, not a right. Failure to uphold these standards may result in warnings, suspension, or permanent removal from the Practice Hub at the sole discretion of Awakened Insights. Practitioner Responsibilities All practitioners agree to: • Practice with honesty, integrity, and humility. • Treat every sitter and fellow practitioner with dignity and respect. • Present information as evidence rather than making harmful assumptions or leading statements. • Remain open to learning, constructive feedback, and continued development. • Respect personal, emotional, cultural, and spiritual boundaries. • Maintain confidentiality of all practice sessions unless explicit written permission has been granted. • Arrive prepared and on time for all scheduled sessions. • Communicate professionally if an emergency prevents attendance. • Create a supportive learning environment free from judgment, bullying, intimidation, or competition. • Understand that development is a lifelong process and avoid portraying themselves as having all the answers. Sitter Responsibilities All sitters agree to: • Participate honestly and respectfully. • Allow practitioners the opportunity to work without intentionally misleading, testing, or attempting to "trap" them. • Respect the reader’s practice space. Allow the reader space to practice without directing the reading, telling them how they should work, or stepping into a teaching role. Respond honestly to what is shared, ask permission before offering constructive feedback, and keep it kind, respectful, and supportive. Sitters may always express discomfort, set boundaries, or end a session. • Provide appropriate feedback after the session that supports learning and growth. • Respect that practitioners are developing their abilities and that practice sessions are educational experiences. • Maintain confidentiality regarding information shared during sessions. • Treat practitioners with kindness and professionalism. Session Conduct (Applies to Practitioners and Sitters) Be Present & Respect the Practice Space Join your session from a quiet, private space with minimal distractions. Please be seated, attentive, and ready to participate. Do not join while driving, walking around, lying in bed, or doing other activities during the session. Being present helps create a focused, respectful experience and honors each other’s time, energy, and commitment to practice. If a disability or health condition means you need to participate while reclining or lying down, you are welcome to do so. Please ensure you can participate safely and remain attentive. Dress Appropriately for Practice Please arrive fully and appropriately dressed for a video practice session. Comfortable, casual clothing is welcome; nudity, underwear-only attire, or clothing displaying offensive or hateful content is not appropriate. These expectations apply equally to sitters and practitioners and help everyone feel comfortable and respected. Ethical Standards The following behaviors are strictly prohibited: • Harassment, discrimination, bullying, or abusive behavior. • Personal attacks, public shaming, or intimidation. • Dishonesty or intentionally misleading participants. • Manipulation, coercion, fear-based messaging, or emotional exploitation. • Medical, legal, or financial advice presented as fact. • Claiming absolute certainty or infallibility. • Violating another person's privacy or confidentiality. • Recording sessions without the explicit consent of every participant. • Sharing screenshots, recordings, or private conversations outside the Practice Hub. • Soliciting clients or attempting to recruit members during practice sessions unless specifically permitted by Awakened Insights. • Misrepresenting qualifications, certifications, or experience. • Any behavior that violates the ethical standards expected of an evidential medium, psychic, intuitive practitioner, or spiritual mentor. Attendance, Reliability & Respect for Scheduled Sessions At Awakened Insights®, we believe that every member's time, energy, and commitment deserve respect. The Practice Hub is a shared space for learning, development, and meaningful connection. When a session is scheduled, both participants are making a commitment to be present for one another. These expectations apply equally to all Practice Partners and Practice Sitters. Scheduled Session Expectations Members are expected to attend their scheduled sessions on time and participate in a respectful and appropriate environment. If you cannot attend a scheduled session, please cancel or request a reschedule in advance whenever possible. We understand that unexpected circumstances, emergencies, and technical difficulties can occur. Verified No-Show Policy A verified no-show occurs when reliable attendance evidence confirms that a member did not attend a scheduled session while the other participant attended. Properly cancelled or rescheduled sessions, unresolved attendance evidence, and verified technical failures are not considered confirmed no-shows. Three-No-Show Accountability Process Awakened Insights® follows a three-step attendance accountability process: First Verified No-Show: The member receives an attendance reminder. Second Verified No-Show: The member receives a formal attendance warning. Third Verified No-Show: The member's Practice Hub participation is referred for administrative review and possible suspension. Three verified no-shows do not automatically result in suspension. Administrative review is required before any suspension decision. The no-show count applies to the individual member across both Practice Partner and Practice Sitter roles. Members approved for both roles do not receive separate no-show allowances. Administrative Review & Fairness Members may contact Awakened Insights support if they believe a no-show was recorded incorrectly or if an emergency or technical issue prevented attendance. Administrators may review attendance evidence and dismiss incorrect no-show records. Suspension decisions are made manually and apply only to Practice Hub participation. Any suspension or reinstatement will be handled through the existing administrative process. This attendance process governs ordinary verified no-shows. It does not replace or limit Awakened Insights' separate conduct, ethical, and safety process, which continues to apply to harassment, fear-based or coercive practices, inappropriate behavior, and other serious violations, and which may result in suspension or permanent removal as set out in the Three-Step Accountability Process below. Our intention is not to punish members for unexpected circumstances, but to maintain a respectful, reliable, and supportive practice community. This process applies to conduct, ethical, and safety violations. Attendance and verified no-show matters are handled under the three-no-show accountability process above. Three-Step Accountability Process To maintain a safe and supportive environment, the following process may be used: First Violation • Private reminder of the community guidelines. Second Violation • Formal written warning and temporary suspension of Practice Hub privileges if deemed appropriate. Third Violation • Permanent removal from the Practice Hub. Awakened Insights reserves the right to bypass this process and immediately suspend or permanently remove any member for severe misconduct, including but not limited to harassment, unethical conduct, discrimination, threats, breaches of confidentiality, dishonesty, or behavior that compromises the safety or integrity of the community. Confidentiality Everything shared within a practice session should remain confidential. Members may not: • Share another participant's personal information. • Discuss evidential information outside the session. • Post recordings or screenshots online. • Use another participant's experience for content creation without written permission. Maintaining confidentiality is essential to building trust within the Practice Hub. Educational Purpose The Practice Hub exists solely for educational and developmental purposes. Participation does not certify, license, endorse, or guarantee a member's abilities. Members are encouraged to continue developing through practice, mentorship, and ethical education. Membership Agreement By joining the Awakened Insights Practice Hub, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to abide by these Community Standards and Code of Ethics. You understand that participation is contingent upon maintaining these standards and that Awakened Insights reserves the right to suspend or terminate your access at any time if your conduct is inconsistent with the values of the community. Our mission is simple: to cultivate a community where practitioners and sitters can learn, grow, and develop their abilities in a space rooted in respect, evidence, compassion, accountability, and ethical spiritual practice.
