When I exited the working world at the end of 2021, I set a clear intention to create something new in my life. I joined a group totaling eight with the belief in the “Power of Eight”. The magic and power of the group of eight meeting every week transformed into infinite possibilities of connection and accountability.
We started together on “The Journey of Intrinsic Health” and the group of eight became the fabulous four-Bronwyn, Debbie, Garey and Barbara. We continued to meet weekly and agreed to talk about the process of the “Eight Points” of the Journey of Intrinsic Health. The eight points include Be, Flow, Breathe, Move, Rest, Play, and Connect. We genuinely listened, opened our hearts and our minds to see and feel things differently. The common journey was finding our individual intrinsic guidance systems and sharing with each other the unfoldment.
This ongoing level of accountability, vulnerability, trust, defenselessness and radical self-honesty has created a space for deep appreciation of these relationships. In this safe space communication is shared with respect, gentleness, humor, and clear intention to support each other in the common goal of being well in body, mind, and spirit. Through heartfelt communication the ability to see things different and BE differently with the “Fab Four” I personally have evolved into a more delightful, calm and playful human being.
Now nearly three years later we continue to gather via Zoom bi-weekly. We continue to expand each of us with our own interests and staying bonded with the founding “Eight Points” and mentoring the idea of community to ourselves and the world. We share the highs and lows of life’s journey from our four points across the globe. We continue to share how we are integrating the principles we learned together and what we are now learning about individually.
Upon meeting we ground together in a meaningful way and then join in conversation about agreed topics or we go rogue on a subject. We are flexible. The magic happens in the group at the time of gathering and the intention we share of showing up, sharing our curiosities about life, and communicating openly and with Love and respect.
The “Fab Four” me, and my dear friends-Bronwyn, Garey, and Debbie! I consider each of them incredible gifts in my life. Knowing their friendships and witnessing their journeys has helped me see myself and others in more loving ways. I am forever grateful for this powerful, dynamic, ongoing journey with my friends!
