Growing in Community
I love the timid questions I get about the community video call that happens on Saturdays. Let me break it down a bit and why I feel it's so important. First, joining a community call was one of the first things I did on my awareness journey (I hit a wall and needed help). The day I first joined the call, I was met by a group of talking heads in the squares on my computer screen (its set up like the opening credits of the Brady Bunch) and I knew one of the 10 people on the call. I thought they all looked way cooler than me. I kept my face perpetually frozen in a smile and I didn't say a word. Maybe I was breathing, but I'm not sure. I was terrified, but the coach facilitating the call, Lesley Demetriades, was hitting on something in my heart, and I kept going back. I didn't speak for a whole year and when I did, my voice shook and I felt like I was going to throw up. Newsflash: I didn't. I made new friends from all over the country and we could speak to each other in the new energetic language we were learning. We could see each other in a new way and support each other in a new way. We grow in community. The community call is a beautiful way to truly understand how not alone we are. Your story will help someone and their story will help you. It's the way it works. It is a safe space to speak to whatever is happening in your life. It's a safe space to just listen, because you will hear something you need. This community will pull you up. When you're around a group of people rising, you rise. As for me, I meet people where they are and have learned to hold a loving space for individuals or a group. I work for team Light. I see, hear, and feel energy (it is what it is), but I will only speak to it if asked (showing up for the call is a form of asking) and only to the extent of what you are ready to hear in the moment, in language you can understand. We're not in the business of establishing new walls here, honey! It's gentle and it's fun, even if it sounds a bit weird and wacky. When it started happening through me, I sure thought it was. In fact, I resisted for a long while because I didn't want to be seen as a weirdo or not be accepted by the people that I love. Now I know it's here to bless and I'm grateful to be able to be a conduit for healing and peace and to help others see and own their light. Here's an awesome thing an attendee said about the call: "It was like going to church! Opened me up to the next level of nut to crack."- SM I just love that.
