Welcome @Marea Stavropoulos to a whole new world 🌎

Food is fundamentally social. We evolved eating in groups, preparing meals together, sharing food as an act of connection and ceremony. The isolation of modern eating - grabbing packaged food from drive-throughs, eating alone in front of screens, buying everything through anonymous transactions - isn't just disconnecting us from our food. It's disconnecting us from each other. Your food transformation becomes more successful, more joyful, and more sustainable when you do it in community. But here are the real questions: 🎗️ Who in your life would actually support this journey? 👀 Who's curious? 👵🏼 Who's open? 💁‍♀️ Who's maybe on a similar path but you just haven't talked about it yet? Sometimes we assume we're alone when really, there are allies all around us - we just haven't identified them yet. Let's start identifying them now. Who's with you?

Thank you to one of our practitioners for pointing this out - I've made room for practitioners who don't want to build their own community. I had not given a thought to those who already have a community. Tell us: how do you see yourself involved in this community hub? 💡My first thought was to create another category tab for skool community wellness practitioners, because I know our members who receive treatments will go looking for niche communities to support their continued wellness journey. 💡My second thought was to invite you to subscribe like everyone else and place a link back to your community. Like 'rent' a classroom advert, list yourself in the profiles category. Then you can post here and do your thing. 💡Or, you could create your profile and offer here as a subscriber, bring your members here and cancel your skool community. I wouldn't recommend this until we get our system operational and it's worth your while... you can do all you were doing, here, with a larger membership. Comments and thoughts please.

🧑‍🤝‍🧑This is our gathering space — where real conversations happen, insights are shared, and support flows naturally between us. It’s where you can ask questions, offer reflections, explore ideas, and connect with others walking their own wellness pathways. This is not about expertise or perfection. It’s about open conversations, lived experience, and genuine community connection. 🙏 What you can share here - Questions you’re exploring. - Wins, challenges, or turning points along your wellness journey. - Reflections, insights, or lessons that may support someone else. - Thoughtful conversations that help us think, grow, and heal together. 🔁 A few guidelines to keep this space supportive - Be respectful, kind, and curious. - Participate as both a giver and a receiver. - Speak from your own experience. - Keep promotional content in the appropriate practitioner category. 👊 We grow stronger together when we share openly, listen deeply, and support one another with sincerity and care.

The MELD was originally created (in 2017) as gatherings, where practitioners presented what they do, and wellness seekers listened. Then the virus shutdown the gatherings, so the groups went online - in Facebook. The Fact Checkers are constantly undermining content that goes against the commercial sickness narrative, so we found ourselves in uncharted waters, looking for a platform that specialized in Communities, rather than fragmented FB groups and platforms where each individual struggles to bring followers into their group. We found our platform here at Skool. Here in The MELD Community we come together with a common bond, some of us are wellness practitioners and some are wellness seekers. As a practitioner, you are invited to contribute posts of interest, sharing what you do, and how your methods have helped others. This can be in the form of simple posts with a topic (Title and Story), plus your best video, or by linking an ebook in the classroom tab. Foundation members content will remain free, in time we will charge fees for valuable resources so you may return a profit from your efforts. You are not required to start a separate community, unless that's what you want to do. It is my vision, that one day, within this Community, we will have specific practitioner hubs that offer online resources, eg Chiropractors. Someone will start each niche hub and all others in the niche will join their hub of preference, like an online clinic where the seeker can choose their practitioner. Feel free to start coming here and making small posts of value, to help you get into the habit of moving away from other social media feeds. See what others are doing here and it would be wonderful for you to bring your followers here too. Comment with questions and contributions. And thank you for your valuable time to took to read this.🙏
