Online Group

accord on Discord

Every Wednesday at 6:00 PM

Meeting place:

You must successfully interviewed with Jes personally before arriving

General

We are not here to express ourselves, we are here to look into the possible advantages of finding sustainable satisfaction by learning about and doing the Rains Method.
You may stay for as much or as little as you like
Please come and go very discretely
Always do your best to adhere to meditation instructions
Please arrive on time

Equipment

Headphones or earbuds are important to use for the group (not the daily meditations). They don’t have to be high quality at all.
A microphone is a strong plus for the group (not the meditations)
Using a tablet or computer is better for both group and meditations (when possible, if convenient)
Always use a horizontal (16:9) orientation for both the group and meditations

Environment

Framing
- Please make reasonable efforts to get the camera close to eye level, with your entire head in the frame.
- Make reasonable effort to capture a margin above the head to the lower base of your sternum during discussion.
- Meditations may be framed from a margin above the head to a margin below the feet (subject to change).
- Rational: having faces and bodies visible will greatly help foster intimacy and help to transmit the spirit of the Method, particularly in the Group
- A tripod is highly recommended
Lighting: lighting should make it easy to discern facial expressions and the position of the body. Make reasonable efforts to avoid “loud” brightness.
- A tripod-mountable light is highly recommended
Environment: you can have any environment you would (setting, clothes, attire). Never make effort to display provocative efforts. Given the equal-in-effort choice between a proactive environment and a boring one, always choose boring.
Discord Etiquette: lobby, etc.
