Bringing Heaven to Earth: Becoming a Spiritual Scientist
June 2005 - "Building Your Soul-Centered Community"
by Rebecca Skeele, MA, MSS

Imagine for a moment. It’s Tuesday night about 7pm. You are excited and full of energy even though your day has been stressful and long. You have invited a group of like-hearted, spiritually-focused friends together in your living room to share and explore living as Soul.

You know some of the people well and others perhaps you met for the first time over the potluck. But now, as everyone takes a seat and gets quiet, there’s an energy of freshness in the room. All of a sudden you are keenly aware that something new is about to be discovered…a new uncovering of truth, joy, upliftment, laughter and loving.

Have you longed for a community of people who know how to foster and support clear, open soul-centered communication? Are you wanting a deeper connection with your divinity…and would like to know how to access that connection in any moment throughout your day? Would an ongoing monthly group supply you with just the right amount of touch in to help keep you focused and moving forward.

As we mature in years many of us seek a lifestyle that is relaxed, intellectually stimulating and spiritually nurturing. The current number of people officially ‘retiring’ this year will be the most affluent, mobile and healthiest group that has ever retired! If you are part of this group you are probably already making decisions about the next 30-40 years of your life.

Everyday in my coaching practice I work with individuals that are consciously approaching these enriching years – and they want to take full advantage of the inner knock on the door. Many are downsizing, moving into a new neighborhood or a new state. Health, exercise, whole foods, alternative wellness approaches and creative living styles have replaced stressful commutes and hurried schedules. Finding their community is top on the list of "wants."

Soul-centered living is a viable choice for adventure and new discovery through ongoing growth, revelation and awareness. My clients take a look at the state of the world and say, "We can do better and I want to contribute in some meaningful way." Finding a model for living as soul in community prompted me to created Soul Salons.

Soul Salons are intentional – a few hours each month create years of inner health, wealth and happiness.

Benefits of creating your soul community:

• Essential conversations about what is most important in your life
• Expansion in your understanding of living as soul
• Building trust – within yourself and with each other
• Support for taking soul purpose steps in the world
• Knowing the connection of others that hold the same focus and intention for themselves and the world.

Begin with a clear intention.

How do you want to live the next 30, 40 years of your life? Vital and alive? Conscious? Living your Soul’s purpose? Cocreating heaven on earth?

Then, from this clear essence statement think about the form that would promote all those baby steps. Remember, the promise is when two or more are gathered.
