START HERE: Your First 24 Hours in the Sanctuary 🕊️🧶
Welcome home! You made it. Take a second to just exhale. You’ve officially entered a "No-Hustle Zone." Whether you’re here to tackle anxiety, find a creative spark, or you just want a hobby that doesn't involve a glowing screen, we are so glad you’re here. In the Sanctuary, we aren’t just learning to make knots; we’re learning a new language of relaxation. To help you get settled without the "new group" jitters, here is your 3-step map for your first day: Step 1: The "Meet & Greet" (The Handshake) 🤝 Head over to the Community Tab and find the "The Handshake" category. This is our digital welcome mat. Pull up a chair and tell us: - What’s your "why"? What are you hoping to "unravel" (like stress or overthinking) while you're here? - The Yarn Vibe: Is your current stash neat and tidy, or a total "yarn-nado"? - The Uniform: Do you have a favorite pair of stitching pants yet? (Remember: Hard pants are strictly optional here). Step 2: Grab Your Toolkit (The Classroom) 🎒 Head over to the Classroom Tab and open the folder: "The Getting Grounded Toolkit." * Watch the 3-Breath Hook-Up video. It’s only 3 minutes long, but it will change the way you pick up your hook forever. Your nervous system will thank you. Step 3: Learn the "Sanctuary Map" (The Rooms) 🗺️ Think of our community categories as different rooms in our shared "Quiet Room." Here is where to hang out: - 🧪 The Design Lab: For your "Work in Progress." We love the messy middle! - 🌳 Beyond the Hook: Real life, unraveled. Pets, sunsets, and non-crochet wins. - 🎙️ The Hook Up: Our Virtual Front Porch for Live Office Hours and replays. - 🙏 Gratitude Hook: Share what you’re learning or one thing you're thankful for. - 🎤 Mic Drop: Your Victory Lap! Show off those finished projects. - 🍯 The Secret Sauce: The insider’s manual for tips and tricks. - 🪑 The Thinking Chair: For deep breaths and "aha!" moments. - 🙌 High-Five Hub: Our Hype Squad.
