Welcome to the MindfulCircles WhatsApp Sangha
Sangha is an ancient word. It means community — but more than that. It means the people who walk the path together.
This WhatsApp group is an extension of the circle. The same care, the same respect, and the same confidentiality we hold every Tuesday — we carry into this space too.
These guidelines exist not as rules, but as a shared commitment. Read them once. Come back to them if something feels unclear.
What Belongs Here
Session follow-ups and reflections Something from Tuesday stayed with you. A line from the reading, a moment in the circle, a question that opened something. Share it. That’s exactly what this space is for.
Example: “That part about attention in last night’s session hit differently. Still sitting with it.”
Requests for a 1-to-1 call or advice If you’re facing a challenge and think someone in the Sangha might have experience or perspective to offer, you can ask. Keep it specific and brief — let people step forward if they want to.
Example: “Anyone with experience raising a seed round in Germany open for a short call this week? Navigating something and would love a perspective.”
Looking for company at an event If you’re considering attending something — a talk, a workshop, a conference, a retreat — and would like a fellow Sangha member to join, post it here.
Example: “Hey Sangha — anyone going to the Conscious Leadership event in Berlin on Thursday? Would love to go with someone.”
Accountability partner requests If you’re committing to something — a work sprint, a new habit, a creative project, a health goal — and you’d like someone to check in with you, ask here. Accountability works best when it’s mutual and chosen.
Example: “Starting a 30-day no-scroll morning routine next Monday. Anyone want to be accountability partners? Weekly check-in, five minutes, that’s it.”
Urgent or organisational updates Anything time-sensitive related to the circle — a session change, a venue update, a last-minute note from Adam — belongs here. Keep it clear and brief.
Example: “Quick update — tonight’s session starts 15 minutes later than usual. Same place. See you at 7:15.”
What Doesn’t Belong Here
Ads, promotions, or unsolicited offers This is not a channel for selling. No product pitches, no service promotions, no affiliate links — even if what you’re offering is genuinely good. This protects the trust and integrity of the space for everyone.
Unrelated personal or professional content Interesting articles, general life updates, memes, news — however well-intentioned — are not for this group. There are many spaces for that. This one is specific.
Unsolicited advice If someone shares something personal here, the instinct to help is natural. But advice given without being asked can feel like pressure, not support. Wait to be invited. Listening is often the more generous act.
Repeating what was shared in the circle What is said on Tuesday stays on Tuesday. Do not reference, summarise, or forward what another member shared — in this group or anywhere else. This is the foundation of our trust.
How We Treat Each Other
We do not tolerate harassment or discrimination of any kind — based on age, gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, background, or any other characteristic.
We speak to each other the way we would want to be spoken to in the circle: with care, directness, and without judgment.
If something in this group makes you uncomfortable, please reach out to Adam directly.
A Final Word
This Sangha is only as good as what each of us brings to it. Not the volume of messages — but the quality of presence. Post when it means something. Reach out when you need something. Show up for each other when you can.
That is what makes a Sangha.
This is not a space you attend. It is a space you tend.
