A club teaches nothing
Hope MetaVersity has four Schools, and that number does not grow. A School is where somebody teaches something. A club is not that, and it never becomes that.
Recovery, kidney disease and faith are subjects people live rather than study. What helps is hearing from somebody who has been there — not a syllabus. So these three are clubs: peer to peer, member to member, with nothing issued at the end and nothing to pass or fail.
The Clubs
Free to join, like everything else here.
Club
The Recovery Club
People in recovery talking to each other about how it is actually going. Not a programme, not a meeting, and not a replacement for either one.

Club
The Kidney and Dialysis Club
Dialysis, the waiting list, the call, and the families carrying all of it. Everyone here has done some part of it themselves.

Club
The Spiritual Faith Club
Faith, practice and doubt, talked about honestly. Christian in its rooting, and open to anyone willing to talk straight.
Enter the ClubThis is a club, not a class
Nothing here is teaching and nothing here is education. There are no lessons, no tests, no grades, and no certificates. Members share their own experience with each other, and what any member says is that member’s own view — not Hope MetaVersity’s.
What is said in this club is not medical advice. It is not clinical training, not therapy, not counselling, and it is not a substitute for a doctor, a licensed counsellor, or a treatment programme. Taking part here does not qualify anyone to practise, diagnose, treat, counsel, or advise anyone else. Hope MetaVersity is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or speaking for any hospital, transplant centre, treatment provider, or twelve-step fellowship.
What staff do here
Hope MetaVersity does not lead these conversations and does not check what members say for accuracy. Staff are here for one thing: to keep the exchange friendly, to hold everyone to the club rules, and to remove anyone who won’t be held to them.
The club rules
The same six in every club at Hope MetaVersity.
1. Share your own experience. Speak for yourself. Don’t tell anyone else what they should do.
2. No advice that belongs to a professional. No medical direction, no dosages, no diagnoses, no telling someone to change or stop a treatment. Point people to their own doctor.
3. What’s said here stays here. Don’t repeat what someone shares, and don’t bring in somebody else’s story without their say-so.
4. No accusations. Don’t name a person, a clinic, a treatment centre, or an organisation to accuse them of something. Take that where it belongs.
5. No selling. Not services, not products, not your own programme. Don’t ask members for money.
6. Be kind or be quiet. Disagree all you want. Contempt is where it stops.
