Rules and Guidelines 

DISCLAIMER (In the intro and outro)

Observing Herbs does not provide medical advice. The group is intended for informational purposes only. It is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. Never ignore professional medical advice in seeking treatment because of something you have heard on an Observing Herbs Room. If you think you may have a medical emergency, immediately call your medical professional or dial 911.
Observing Herbs does not recommend or endorse any specific tests, physicians, products, procedures, opinions, or other information that may be mentioned in an Observing Herbs Room. Reliance on any information provided within Observing Herbs by moderators, speakers, featured guests, or members is solely at your own risk.
Links to any content, educational or otherwise, provided by Observing Herbs during the course of the conversation, through e-mail, or by visiting the profiles of moderators, speakers, or featured guests are taken at your own risk. Observing Herbs is not responsible for the claims of external websites.
45 seconds.
When coming to the stage: 
Start with your question
Stay on topic
Keep it jargon-free
don’t ruin the flow of the conversation by introducing yourself, or going off-topic.
Gauge the room properly
Be curious
Please ask questions, no question is stupid. We’re all here to learn, and that's what matters. Sometimes people don't have the courage to ask their questions, so when you ask your question you could be asking this question for many people.
Our primary focus is your wellness journey 
This means mentally and physically. Please be kind to one another. Be respectful and open, one mic at a time. No interruptions, or talking over one another. No pitching to speakers while on stage. Use your emails or DM’s.
Be open-minded, We are exploring various topics that may be new to you, be receptive. All opinions are welcome and this is a positive environment where they can be shared. No one will attack or belittle you We ask that everyone has respect for each other. You are all family upon entry to the chat.
Please nominate and invite anyone that you think would benefit and contribute to the club, just hit the right-hand corner
All rooms should have an intro and outro, leaving space for you and any other speakers to plug yourself, products, and upcoming events. Please do not interrupt the flow of the chat to talk about yourself. It isn’t fair. Also please do not respond or answer a question with an intro or advertisement. If the information you give is great enough people will look for you. If the audience resonates with you they will surely follow you and find out more about what you offer.
Mods and Hosts: 
Moderating Responsibly: If you haven’t moderated a room before reach out to one or a few of the consistent moderators to help you with your room as you start to become a regular room host! Have patience for our new members

Please don’t use this amazing helpful platform as an opportunity to promote yourself, grow your following, or funnel people to your other clubs, chats, or websites. This includes clubs on CLUBHOUSE. We will issue a gentle reminder via DM if it occurs. Please be mindful that all admins of this group individually have their own clubs that they also do not promote during Observing Herbs chats outside intros and allowed outros.  

Besides making sure your profile is up to date and ready to support you, If your response to someone’s questions can be provided with your care/services, please respond with “I can better support you if you DM me through my profile” 

If you find you are having difficulty with a guest while they are on the stage please move them down to the audience, temporarily turn off hand raising, and take that communication to their DM. We do not want to have poor communication with speakers while on stage in front of other guests, regardless of if they are wrong. It disturbs the flow, the environment, and could chase away new guests who just entered the room and are not aware of what is going on.

We understand life emergencies but please provide an hour's notice of last-minute cancellations / unable to be present for a room.  We would like the time in order to better support you with that room for you to either come in later or prepare for your room. We also would like at least a weeks notice in writing of cancelling a series of chats. This allows us time to either replace the event or rearrange our calendar properly.  If you think you may be running late for a chat, you have the opportunity to edit the event and change the time, as long as it does not overlap an Observing Herbs event over 2 hours. It's better to change the time than be late. Please also give us a heads up if you do have to change the tie so we can update the calendar.
