Next Chapter Circle
Community
How the Circle works today: who can join, what we talk about and the guidelines that keep it kind and safe.
Who can join

- Women aged 45+ and women in a major life transition
- Readers, travellers and creators from any country
- Members who agree to the Community Rules
Values & expectations
What we ask of each other
- Be kind, curious and respectful — even in disagreement
- Keep what is shared private
- No selling, recruiting or unsolicited messages
- Protect your safety and others’: never share someone’s location or personal details
- Report anything that worries you to the moderators

Community guidelines — summary
Be kind. Keep it confidential. No selling or spam. No hate, harassment or discrimination. Share advice as experience, not as professional instruction. Never post anyone’s location, address or private details. Moderators may remove posts or members who break the rules. Read the full Community Rules.
Tomorrow
From Facebook to our own platform
As the Circle grows, members will move to the Next Chapter App — a private space designed for women, with verified profiles, trusted circles and safety tools. The Facebook group will remain open during the transition, and nobody will be moved without notice.
