Communal Being

As we continue to release our self-referentialism and separateness, we have been embracing several qualities of divine communion offered in our Becoming invitation last week.

And now, how might we inhabit these communal ways of being even more?

In support of our daily, any-and-every-moment inhabiting of our communal being, we offer a simple process you might take up this week.

The phrasing offered below is suggestive. You are welcome to craft your own language, choosing how you want to attune and engage with your pathways of inhabiting.
