Many of us are sitting now in the pause between the breaths; in the space where the old ways no longer fit and the new ways are yet to be born. There is freedom and possibility here as well as risk and vulnerability. It can be hard to sit in this in-between-space, knowing it’s not yet time to move forward. Knowing that using individual will and pushing to make things happen only create stress. Knowing we are each a part of a much bigger movement of synchronised consciousness becoming a collective wave of love-in-action.
This short e-book is offered not as a complete and polished work but as notes from my own frontline of evolving consciousness; a work in progress that can only grow into its fullness with your participation. I trust, if I speak truly from my experience, my words will find and connect with those of you on a similar journey. My hope is by sharing some of my own experiences and reflections, as I travel this transition to wholeness, I will encourage you to explore your experiences and to discover more of your truths. And, if we come together to speak of our experiences perhaps we can find a common language to map the inner world and this will then help us to more skillfully co-create our outer world.
These deep discovery conversations have a part to play in the shift to a new evolutionary story for our planet. There is a dawning recognition among those of us who may be called to such a venture that none of us can succeed on our own. We are entering an era of co-creation and we can only truly evolve consciousness together.
I am envisioning and holding a space for the kind of conversation in which a group of friends or strangers can meet and, in a very short time, feel connected at the deepest level. This kind of conversation lifts each of us out of our existential isolation, throws light into our inner worlds, inspires our understanding, extends our thinking, and supports us to feel more grounded and embodied – more real, more here, more now, more lit up.
I have been holding deep discovery conversations for nearly twenty years with people of all ages, from late teenage into their nineties, and from many different countries. For me, these conversations are one of the most exciting events of life. Really!! In truth, each conversation is a group experiment in how we can co-create a higher, more intelligent energy field together. I’m always thrilled to witness the heart, mind and soul connections being made in such a group and to see the light of awareness burning strong. In such groups the energy of transformation is palpable.
So even though you may not yet be clear what I mean when I talk about deep discovery conversations or Soul Sanctuary Circles, I invite you to join me to explore what it means to live from our deepest wisdom. What are you experiencing as you make the transition into realising your wholeness. What are the challenges? What are the landmarks? What practices are you using to support ourselves? Why does it matter?
All that is needed is a willingness to approach with beginner’s mind, with an attitude of curiosity and exploration, rather than a need to be right or to be the one who knows. In the Soul Sanctuary Circle I invite you to listen deeply to self and others; to listen from your heart and with your soul. And I encourage you to find words for your experience, even when words seem to slip and slide and never quite express the fullness for which you are reaching. As we share our inner experience and wisdom in this experimental way we co-create a new reality and begin to weave together a new cultural story.
There’s a blank page coming upon which we can write a new story. Will you join me?
