Deep community cannot happen without trust. And trust is a tricky thing. How do we choose who to trust? How is trust built? What if we over-trust and innocently subject ourselves to something harmful? What degree of trust is appropriate for relationships in spiritual community?
Read MoreFrom the beckoning of our invitation to greater capacity for connectedness, and the loving ways and practices of becoming to grow our hearts in post-tribal ways, we now welcome another core quality of divine communion in living community, our beingin and of the field of love.
The field of love is a place of our most natural being. It is somewhere we go and something that is always around us. It is the ground of our relational being. The heart of our inter-abiding presence in communal being.
And it is here, now.
Come, let’s walk through this field of love together.
Read MoreOne of the foundational qualities of divine communion in our living, evolving, beloved community is being post-tribal. This means that our boundary markers for communal identification are not firm dividers. They are not fixed beliefs. There isn’t the need for strenuous gatekeeping and fortified barriers.

Now, we turn to specifically and truly integrate the substance of material reality as a vital and fundamental dynamic of our living community, our divine communion.
Read MoreIn this rhythm of evolution, we continue to welcome and move more into the lived reality and experience of how our being is communal.
And this great communion of saints is made up of living persons with whom we can relate, commune, and WeCreate together—for we are of one body in our true being, walking the ever-evolving path of transformation, healing, restoration, and love.
Read MoreThis week, we invite you to explore how you might engage with spirit guides in a new way. If you already have experience and relationships with guides in your life, you might be drawn to open to a new presence, deepen your current relationships, or renew your commitment to engaging with them regularly.
If engaging with spirit guides is new for you, are you open to welcoming one today?
Read MoreOur beloved community is not confined solely to the human realm. A fundamental starting point for our way of community is to consciously and intentionally welcome divine reality.
