Society for Shamanic PracticeSetting Up Your Directory Listing
As a member of the Society for Shamanic Practice you have the option to setup a public profile which will be visible in our member directory. Your profile information will also be linked to each of your forum posts and comments so that other members can learn more about you if they are interested.
This is an opt-in only service and by default you are NOT listed in our public directory. If you would like to create a listing for yourself please follow these steps.
- Review our Code of Ethics for participation in our community.
- Setup Your Profile:
- Click the My Profile link.
- By default you will land on the “VIEW” tab of your profile (highlighted in a rectangular cream colored box). Click the “EDIT” link to the right. Here you will have several options to post whatever information you would like to include about yourself. When you are finished click “SAVE CHANGES” at the bottom.
- To the right of the “EDIT” link in your profile is a link to “CHANGE PROFILE PICTURE“. Click this link if you would like to have a profile image, and upload the image of your choosing.
- To the right of the “CHANGE PROFILE PICTURE” link is the “CHANGE COVER PHOTO” link. Click this link if you would like to have a cover image, and upload the image of your choosing.
- Publish Your Profile. When you are ready to become visible in the member directory and forum:
- Click the “MEMBERSHIP” tab to the right of the “PROFILE” link in your editing screen.
- At the bottom of the page you will see a field called “PROFILE VISIBILITY“. Set this to “SHOW IN DIRECTORY” and again click to save.
- Once you do this your listing will be submitted to our staff for review and approval. It may take up to 2 business days to show in the directory. Please contact support@shamanicpractice.org with any questions.
- Setup Your Notifications. Decide if/how you want to be notified of Messages and Friend Requests through the directory.
- You can do this in the “EMAIL SETTINGS” tab of your account.
- Now you are ready to start using the directory and interacting with other members. You can do this through:
- The directory search features
- By starting a new discussion topic in the forum
- By contributing to existing forum topic.
- Clicking the profile image of a member who interests you. From their profile you can choose to “SEND A MESSAGE” or “ADD FRIEND”. Over time you can grow a community in your MY FRIENDS section of your profile and find your private messages in MY MESSAGES.
