Rooting Together - Rising Strong

The power of community is potent and real, and I have felt it deeply in the last six weeks as we have been gathering online.

Community strengthens grounding.

It gets a lot easier.

It happens more quickly and completely.

When we sit together as a group, something truly magical happens – our nervous systems settle more easily, our bodies fill more deeply, and our intentions root more clearly.

In these times, people can then return to their lives with greater clarity, strength, calmness and purpose.

And in a world full of noise and chaos, gathering in this way is a radical act of self-care and self-love.

Last month I wrote about how all of this came to be – how I was called to offer these gatherings of community as an antidote to the paralysis and fear I was feeling in the ethers – due to the growing negative political environment.

I trusted Spirit and simply began offering my gifts and talents, with no real idea how people would respond.

To my great delight, many have joined us regularly at 8am ET Monday, Wednesday and Friday live online. Some drop in when they can.

But everyone leaves more ready to face their day, to step into whatever is theirs to do in the world.

The power of gathering in person with kindred souls can happen too - as I was with my staff recently in West Virginia. You can see from our faces how the work we were doing with our circle of women, in Healing the Pelvic Core, filled us and the participants up completely.

These are challenging times for everyone, and making the space to return to your own core, your own power, in community is vital. So please carve out time for yourself to join with kindred spirits – your heart and soul depend on it.
