Exploring Gaia

Hello!

I posted this in a Group recently, but thought to add it here for good measure ;)

I just wanted to share some tips for those of you new to the site. This really is a magical place and a community rich with extraordinary people and ideas.

So, here are some links to help you navigate and explore and learn more about the site :)

Need a little help setting things up?

• Gaia FAQ: Get your basics covered!
• Support Pod: Get support from the Team or offer help & advice to other members.
• Gaia Lounge: This is an excellent place for new members, meet others, ask questions & find answers.

• Send a message on the Grapevine to your friends at Gaia. You’ll find this shout out section on the left hand side on their profiles. If they send you a message back, you’ll see it on the left hand side of your profile.
