A space to gather
holistic /həˈlɪs.tɪk/: characterized by the belief that the parts of something are interconnected and can be explained only by reference to the whole.
the hope
Having experienced various online containers & offerings lately, I have witnessed first hand the potential of such spaces. We are able to connect all across the world, to share our stories, our ways. To find our tribe in a new way & expand our experience.
It is very much an exploration, an invitation to gather & co-create.
I believe it is by coming together with an open mind & open heart – leaving space for each to be exactly who they need to be in a specific moment without trying to influence or rewrite their stories – that we learn & grow.
We all have a thing or two that sparks our being & by sharing these, we might ignite somebody else’s.
It is about reconnecting to our stories, to our inner fires. About coming home to ourselves.
An exploration
An invitation to cultivate presence & ignite our curiosity. Whilst being on our unique journeys.
In a world where most things are on demand & on replay, I would love for this space to be a reminder of how being in the moment brings us so much more.
As well as being a space where we are all students & teachers, where we can meet our edges & maybe discover new practices or challenge our ideas.
The only requirement is to show up authentically, with respect, kindness & an open mind, without judgement, expectations or pressure.
This isn’t about fixing or doing but about being & remembering.
The offering
The membership fee enables the running of this offering, from bank fees to software setup, etc… whilst honouring the energy spent to hold this container & committing to the space.
Each month, I will hold two sharing circles, an evening one & a morning one to enable most to at least attend one, as a base offering.
I will also offer shorter spaces like meditations or restorative Reiki on a regular basis.
As it goes and grows, I will invite practitioners, space holders to hold space but also create containers for themes or conversations that might arise naturally from a community.
All the spaces are offered as Dāna/donations. Dāna is a Buddhist word and teaching that means generosity and support, and works on the idea of reciprocity. We will offer what I hope will best support you on your journey. In exchange, you are invited to give an offering of Dāna that reflects the support and nourishment you feel you have received. These donations will go directly to the space holder or back into the community.
I decided to set it up in such a way to first make it accessible and also to invite a process, a look into how we value our experiences & how we cultivate reciprocity.
Questions
The basic fee is £12+VAT which you can change at checkout or after in your Patreon account if you wanted to contribute more.
You will then be invited to reflect on each of the offerings you take part in & to gift a donation that feels right for you.
Yes, no obligations to stay. When you sign up, you enter into a monthly rolling subscription. When you are ready to leave, simply cancel & your access will be revoked at the end of your billing cycle.
There will be other opportunities & you can still enjoy the community as well as the stories shared.
The reason that replays are not offered is to cultivate presence & invite reflection on the time we make for ourselves.
I believe we need to be our very own priority in order to show up fully for others & for the world.
This space is very much about co-creation so please don’t hesitate to reach out & let’s see how it aligns !
