Community Guidelines

How we thrive together in the spaces, workshops, calls (paid and free) curated by Mariana Durst Studio

1. Integrity: Show Up Fully & Respect Others

  • Be real. Share your wins, struggles, and insights with honesty.

  • Respect confidentiality—what’s shared here stays here.

  • Honor commitments. Your participation matters.

2. Artistry: Celebrate Your Unique Voice & Support Others

  • Respect creative differences. There’s no “right” way to be an artist.

  • Give thoughtful, constructive feedback—uplift, don’t tear down.

  • Share generously. Your insights could be exactly what someone needs.

3. Courage: Take Bold Steps & Foster a Safe Space

  • Show up in a learning state. Leave your inner critic at the door and be open to new perspectives.

  • Growth requires discomfort. It’s safe to take risks here.

  • Progress over perfection—messy action is better than no action.

  • Respect is non-negotiable. Discrimination, hate speech, or exclusionary behavior will not be tolerated.

4. Advocate for Yourself

  • If you need support, ask. Your voice matters.

  • If something isn’t working for you, speak up. We’re here to help.

  • The more you engage, the more you’ll get out of this program.

5. We Rise Together

  • Courage and creativity over competition—there’s room for all of us to thrive.

  • Celebrate wins, big or small. Every step forward counts.

  • If something feels off, let me (Mariana) know. I'm committed to a safe, supportive space.

Your presence shapes this community. Thank you for showing up—for yourself and for others.
