Perhaps more structured practices may be what is needed, rather than discussions.
Taking care of the human form and deepening our own spiritual practice ( practice essentially being meditation ) is I feel indeed the core way to help. To enlighten ourselves to the greatest degree possible WHILE IN(HABITING) THE BODY. In my own group we have silent group meditations, a dream circle, healing circle, telepathy practice, channeling practices, reporting from the out of body state, binaural beat sessions, universal discussions and more *all on Zoom. I highly encourage everyone to not just practice but to LOG their practices; their content, observations and insights. Even openly on the board. I do this myself. We have a group dream log and a discussion thread that accompanies it. All of this is what brings us closer together as a group and what helps create dialogue together as well, which I feel is equally important. We are a small group so the group sessions/circles are not large, but the size of circle is never what is most important. It is creating and sustaining it that is. The gravity of the circles will always draw into themselves the right combination of souls.
Step one for this group and many others, if I may be so bold, is to come out more. Real names, real photos. A real readiness to meet one another properly, by name face to face. It surprises me really how many still want to hold themselves back from being known. It is a large part of the difficulty on these old style boards. It is going to be challenging to move forward if first more of us are not first willing to at least step out into the light and shake hands. Literally.
I have watched many boards go under, into the shadows themselves for refusing to.
The thing about holding oneself back <-- is this in itself.
