Whangarei's Heart and Soul Group

In the Heart and Soul cluster group on Thursday 7th at our public event, we brainstormed what people would like some of the focuses of the Heart and Soul Group to be.

The group thought they’d like the Heart and Soul Group to be about:

Supporting people through change.
Walking beside people as they face change.
Emotional and spiritual Midwifery: helping to birth the new.
Motivation
Consciousness Raising
Working with the Collective Consciousness
Being part of the change in consciousness, the 100th Monkey effect
Eco Spirituality
Coming from the deep, reaching deep, sharing and supporting deeply
Exploring what’s needed to inspire us and carry us through the challenges
More about heart and feeling than thinking
Raising Awareness
Bringing happiness
Healing the Earth. Healing ourselves on all levels
Honouring ourselves as earthly children
Sharing the journey with each other
Helping each other
Focus on connecting and deepening connections
Helping us to keep the balance between Being and Doing

A safe space to come together and be together
