I had the good fortune to co-facilitate a wellness retreat last week. One of the many themes among participants which I encountered again and again was the longing for community. Not just friends... but for "communion" with other like minded people who are following a similar spiritual path. They want to feel as if they are not alone in their search for a deeper, richer more connected existence. More connected to themselves, humanity and cosmic consciousness. In helping to create the space for these connections to grow I found my own sense of community and belonging. What a blessing!
