Long story short, I have a couple years under my belt and talked a RL friend into finally coming into Second Life and dipping their toes in the water. I wasn't awake at the very moment they created and logged in so they were walking around that area doing the basic command helps and whatever have you. And they get talked to multiple times by someone who says they're there to help the novices. (I don't remember that kind of person hanging around when I created, but it has been a few years) So my friend is being overly bombarded by comments about the fact that I have brought them to SL, how suspicious it is and how they should not wait around for me to help them, the list goes on and on for about an hour and I was finally awake to help them get off the island. Is this kind of thing normal? It was really nearly enough to turn them off even trying more of Second Life and those of us who love it here understand how, I would hope, how disappointed that made/makes me. I hope that novice helps can do better than passing harassment and comments on a new person. I don't really come to the forums beyond an occasional hunt or search on a how-to so I don't know if this is a normal thing, if it is a fluke or what.. but maybe just letting others know can change that and keep it from happening again.

Hey everyone! I've recently launched Moon Rose Healing Light Center. This is a free resource for second life residents and offers coaching, mentoring, distance reiki, various support groups, plus free yoga area and a library with free reading materials. It is run by donation only. I am a reiki master and certified life coach in real life and I felt called to share these resources for free in world. It is a safe, healing, friendly haven in this world of social distancing and fear that we are all doing our best to get through right now. But, right now its just me. lol I'm a very big introvert though I am a healer and so I'm hollering out to everyone here to find those who might feel compelled to do something positive with me and volunteer a couple of hours a week, or as much as you are able to. This is what is needed: First and foremost I need someone with marketing skills to spread the word. I am *terrible* at networking, but we cant help many people if they don't know where are there. Second, I need people willing to host support groups, do mentoring for newbies, and just be there as a friend for residents who may need it. Third, if you are a fellow coach, therapist, reiki practitioner or any kind of healer, we need your services aside mine. These are volunteer positions, that may change as the center grows but it is starting from the bottom up. I have created the free library, meeting and yoga area and healing room with Reiki table. My vision is for this to grow so that we can keep offering these services for free to in world residents. Bring your skills and ideas, I am open to those too. Stop by, check it out and leave me a note if you want to volunteer. I need serious inquiries only please, not someone who will disappear after a week or two.
