The most beautiful expression of spiritual community that I can think of is one where everyone is cared for by someone. With such a vision comes a release from limiting beliefs. I am clear that a spiritual community ensures that no one that chooses to get involved and engaged is left behind, or has no one caring for them. And given the history of Saskatchewan, I cannot help but feel a fit for such a vision.

Visioning and experience have shown me that in order to manifest such a vision there is a need to develop a deep and profound outrageous care structure. There is a yearning within everyone that I’ve ever met to thrive and grow through accepting authentic connections of loving kindness. And there is no more beautiful experience than witnessing and feeling the loving energy of fellowship.

I’ve come to realize that there needs to be a balance between the Sacred Masculine and Sacred Feminine. On one hand, we need to ensure that there is the freedom and space to allow the nurturing, magnetic and creative qualities of the Sacred Feminine.  On the other hand, an outrageous care structure honours the strengths of the Sacred Masculine.

An outrageous care structure creates a flexible, resilient web of shared leadership for everyone, delivers high quality spiritual care, supports spiritual growth, and focuses on a transformational process of being and doing at both the individual and collective levels.

When this exquisite balance is accomplished, it is like witnessing the sun’s radiance reflected by the moon. As it is for all of us on our individual journey of spiritual awakening, when the masculine and feminine are in balance the radiance is breathtaking.

Spiritual leadership is woven into the DNA of a spiritual community, it is not just where the spiritual leader is. Everyone that chooses to engage is empowered and equipped through leadership development training fit for any professional workplace, along with structured nurturing. Members are key to a spiritual community’s health and growth. Leadership is multiplied through a focus that apprenticing is every leader’s primary responsibility – developing others that are interested in spiritual leadership takes priority. And co-creation replaces co-dependency as the glue that holds the spiritual community’s relationships together.

I know that this sharing empowers you to unlock and unleash joy for all in whatever spiritual community you may be involved. The three keys to opening the door to the joy of spiritual community are: Transformation to shared leadership as a process over time to evolve a new way of doing and being as a community; looking at everything through a lens of love, learn, decide and do; and nurturing everyone and everything.

We look forward to co-creating an inspiring, exciting, caring and conscious spiritual community with you. If you’re feeling inspired and want to see what membership in our spiritual community is about then you can download a copy of the 2016 Membership Agreement here.
