Welcome to our forum, the LUVXURY LYCEUM: A space where advanced conscious creators who love to play and create reality on their own unique and magical terms come together to celebrate their mastery and Godfidence, so that we can realize a world of fun-loving goodness for all - a world of LUVXURY.
This group was previously hosted on the Mighty Networks app, and I am beyond thrilled to move this space to a "new" *old school* forum!
My intention for the LUVXURY LYCEUM was to create a metaphysical space of co-creation outside of social media. The mighty networks app literally appeared out of thin air on my phone almost immediately after I became aware of that intention, so I went with it because in that moment it was serendipitously exactly what I wanted! That said, I haven't loved the structure of that app, and there was something else that I couldn't quite put my finger on... until recently when I discovered that the "old internet" wasn't dead, it still exists and co-exists with the "new internet"! I stumbled upon the "old web revival" and am still so blown away and delighted by my own magic!!!😂 I remember the 'good old days' of surfing the internet when it was mostly just a wild place of rabbit holes and adventures, and I came to the realization that some of the *old* structures of the early internet fit my own rhizomatic tendencies much more comfortably than most of the new structures of the social media centered internet.
Now, I am in no way against social media (I mean, I created it, after all!!😂😂😂). It holds many amazing opportunities for sharing in unity. However, most of social media at the moment is structured in a way that encourages the constant posting of new and *current* content, and the constant scrolling of this new and current content. Again, nothing essentially wrong with this, but this is just not how I operate. I like to go deep with a topic. When I love something, I can come back to it over and over again for weeks, months, and YEARS! But on social media a post from just a few hours ago can be considered "old" and disappear in the abyss of the feed. And this is also my issue with mighty networks - it's away from social media, but it's structured the same way. So there's this sense that posts either don't get seen, or they do but become forgotten, or maybe not forgotten, but the structure can make it feel awkward to comment on something days, weeks, or months later (even if it is still relevant in your heart). And this is why I'm sooo excited about moving to an old school forum!
The structure of a forum is totally different - all the boards and topics are presented simultaneously, so they can remain relevant indefinitely. I AM SO. IN. LOVE. WITH. THIS!!! This creates such a different feeling and vibe! And I know if you're here with me you will love it too!!! I tend to focus most of my energy on close friends, family, and one on one clients because I love connecting on a profoundly deep and intimate level. And while I find social media to be a wonderful place to discover new magical beings, I have never found the format to be particularly intimate because of its fleeting nature that I detailed above. I truly believe that a forum will remedy some of this!

I still have so much I would love to express, but I will stop here for now. Ah! Another thing I love about forums! You can start a thread, and then just keep building and adding to it over time - you can continue one giant thought for a very long time in one continuous place! I'm sure many of you can relate to this one, because I know we all think BIG GIANT LUVXURIOUS thoughts here!
I will be updating and adding to this welcome section over time, so please check back for updates!

There will be two sections of the forum. The first section (which is already here) is the LUVXURY heart-verse (which corresponds to my *old school* website I'm building of the same name.) Something to note is that this section is public, in the sense that anyone can lurk and read it (and this feels important). But only members can post and reply. This is just a heads up that what you write in the heart-verse is viewable by others. What we write and post here will build a cosmic public library of sharing in unity!
In the upcoming days and weeks, I will be adding a second set of boards that will be private and require a short application to join (to keep the company cozy). Only the table of contents will be viewable to the public - the posts will only be viewable by the private members of these boards. If you're already part of the mighty networks private group, you are automatically invited to join the private LUVXURY boards (I'm still narrowing down a name for this private section: LUVXURY Lie-In; LUVXURY Loft; LUVXURY Treehouse???😂). If you're part of the original private group, the mighty networks private messenger is still the best place to contact me if you have any questions in the meantime.
