Community is a concept we are all involved with and influenced by. Where are you within your communities?

Rejected!

So much for belonging in community spirit! I opened with a story about my rejection from a community and we went from there. Barbara, my co-conspirator, made wonderful points about:

• ‘Belonging’ to yourself
• Being present
• Being actively and consciously engaged

We explored several different angles including group ties that can be supportive or not, and also the evolving nature of our lives and therefore the changing nature that will be within our sense of community –> which means honoring your personal balance. It was important for me to share concepts around:

• appropriate belonging and non-attachment to outcomes
• matching your needs with the give and take within any community group
• honoring yourself first with any group in order to maintain perspective

Barbara led us through a beautiful presence meditation that was heart centered. Thank you, Barb! And the homework for this month is two-fold:

1. Barb: Go into your community: visit a neighbor or be otherwise engaged
2. Nina: Observe group dynamics and community rapport (‘people watch’ in groups)

I added a brief update to the end of the audio regarding my rejection. The audio is now available for purchase at: www.soulsightservices.com
