The inner stewarding team that holds the Temple’s container.
Core Circle members help cultivate the culture, maintain the practice spaces, and support gatherings. It’s less “rank” and more responsibility: service, steadiness, and care for the work.
What is the Core Circle?
Core Circle is the leadership and stewardship layer within Liminal Temple’s community structure.
Discord Role Structure:
Admin → Core Circle → CMSG Member → Member → Visitor
The Core Circle includes access to the Study Group spaces, but the Core Circle is not simply “more access”—it’s a commitment to help support the entire ecosystem.
What Core Circle Members Do
Core Circle members may:
- Help host and facilitate practice labs and discussions
- Welcome newcomers and support onboarding
- Help uphold community agreements and tone
- Co-create curriculum, prompts, and rituals
- Assist with event logistics and Temple projects
- Participate in periodic steward meetings (lightweight, practical)
Who This Is For
Core Circle is a good fit if you:
- Have a stable relationship with practice (whatever your paradigm)
- Communicate clearly and respectfully
- Can hold confidentiality and consent as sacred

Core Circle is not a fit if you:
- Want authority over others
- Need constant validation
- Can’t respect boundaries
- Want to “win” metaphysics debates
Expectations (Clear + Realistic)

Tone: warm, grounded, playful when appropriate
Accountability: we correct issues early; we don’t let them fester
