The Social Contract

A Community Agreement for Shared Growth, Integrity, and Abundance

Last Updated: 2026-02-02

Part One: Introduction & Intention

(From Amanda McCordic, Founder of Dragonfly Reiki Marketplace)

Dragonfly Reiki Marketplace was created with a very simple, very heartfelt intention:

to remove as many barriers as possible for Reiki Masters to share their gifts with a world that

desperately needs healing.

From the beginning, I wanted Dragonfly to be a place where practitioners could start — or grow

— a Reiki practice even if they:

• Had full-time jobs

• Were supporting families

• Were recovering from burnout

• Or simply didn’t have the financial resources to “do it all” on their own

I wanted to meet people where they were.

To make this accessible.

To make it human.

To make it possible.

That intention has not changed.

What has become clear over time is this:

Dragonfly cannot — and should not — be built, resourced, or sustained by one person alone.

A true community requires participation.

Energy exchange matters — not just spiritually, but practically and financially.

Without shared involvement, this work simply isn’t sustainable long term.

Before anything else, I want to say thank you — genuinely — to the Reiki Masters who have already stepped up, shown up, and generously devoted their time, energy, and care. I cannot fully express what that has meant to me, or how much it has helped keep this vision alive.

Dragonfly exists to remove barriers — not responsibility.

Simply signing up for Dragonfly does not, on its own, build a Reiki practice. What Dragonfly does do is remove many of the obstacles that stop practitioners from ever getting started:

• No need to set up or maintain a website

• No need to manage payment systems

• No need to design graphics

• No need to figure out scheduling tools

• No need to navigate marketing entirely alone

• No need to feel like you have to do everything by yourself

Dragonfly has also invested significant time, energy, and financial resources into creating stages — places for practitioners to learn, lead, and shine:

• Community Circles and Community Experiences

• Celebration events and special gatherings

• The Meditation Library

• Marketing and promotion of events and offerings

• Visibility opportunities across the platform and community

There’s a saying I come back to often:

If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go with a community.

Dragonfly is not a listing service.

It is a living, growing community — one that also offers services and support.

And investing your time and energy here supports not only your practice, but your own soul journey as well.

This Social Contract exists to gently clarify expectations, reduce confusion, and support the long-term stability, growth, and abundance of our shared community.

Part Two: Dragonfly Reiki Marketplace Commitments

Dragonfly Reiki Marketplace commits to the following — in service of the community and the

practitioners within it:

• Platform Care & Reinvestment

We will maintain the platform and continuously reinvest in improving systems, services, and infrastructure to empower practitioners and support our shared mission of making Reiki more accessible.

• Marketing & Visibility

We will continue investing in marketing — not only for Dragonfly as a whole, but to support the visibility and success of individual practitioners and their offerings.

• Radical Transparency

We commit to radical transparency in how the community operates, how decisions are made, and how resources are allocated. Decisions are made in the best interest of the collective, not a select few.

• Payments & Fees

Dragonfly will collect payments for events and offerings, absorb all processing fees, and issue practitioner payouts on the first business day following the 1st and 15th of each month. There will never be hidden fees.

• Technical, Creative & Practical Support

We will provide technical support as needed, guidance in designing offerings, and graphics for events or packages listed in the Community Calendar or Reiki Shop.

• Meditation Library Collaboration

Dragonfly will cover hosting costs, licensed music, and editing for Meditation Library submissions. These offerings are considered collaborations, not Dragonfly’s exclusive property, and will be shared back with the contributing practitioner.

• Alignment & Community-Led Growth

Dragonfly will continue exploring new offerings and directions as inspired and requested by the community. We work from alignment — not pressure or competition — and encourage practitioners to participate only in ways that feel genuinely aligned for them.

Part Three: Practitioner Participation Agreement

By choosing to be part of Dragonfly Reiki Marketplace, practitioners agree to actively participate in the community and uphold its shared values. This agreement is not meant to be heavily policed.

It is an expectation — rooted in care, reciprocity, and sustainability.

Practitioner Commitments

• Communication

Regularly check the email associated with your Dragonfly schedule so you don’t miss bookings or important updates.

• Monthly Energy Exchange

Each month, please complete at least one of the following:

• Host an event (free or paid)

• Attend a Dragonfly community event

• Record a meditation for the Meditation Library

• Submit a Reiki Article

• Host a Facebook Live or TikTok Live on Dragonfly’s social media (coordinated with us)

• Or contribute $30 toward Dragonfly’s shared marketing budget (a store button and receipt will be provided)

You’re welcome to move between these options month to month — there’s no need to

lock into just one.

• Community & Visibility Support

If you’re active on social media, you’re encouraged (never required) to engage with and share Dragonfly content that feels aligned. This isn’t about algorithms — it’s about mutual support and helping one another be seen.

• Community Integrity & Client Care

If a client finds you through Dragonfly or a Dragonfly community event, we ask that their ongoing services continue through Dragonfly. This isn’t about control — it’s about honoring the shared infrastructure and energy that made that connection possible and ensuring long-term community viability.

• Ethical Practice

Practice Reiki with integrity, consent, and professionalism.
