Monday Meditation: Community

I’ve been reflecting on community a lot this week.

Coming out of my More Than Naked Retreat on Saturday, one of the participants said she felt like she had just done weeks of therapy. She distinctly spoke to the power of community. The power of being witnessed, and reminded she wasn’t alone.

Her words have stayed with me. I’m trying to remind myself that I don’t have to do this alone either. Any of it. Whether it’s building my coaching business, healing a hormonal issue, or getting my strength training and steps in, I can do it in community. And in fact when I do, I stay the course with much more ease and flow.

This photo is of the beloved group of women I had the honor of leading this weekend. There was a moment during the Breathwork practice when I felt them all meeting themselves so fully, and I was reminded of the 25 year old me who first planted the seed for this

“more than naked” retreat, and I wept with joy! For all the women I’ve been, for all the women who have guided me, and for these women who showed up so fully for themselves and each other.

Tonight’s post is simply a reminder to lean on your community more this week. Even if it’s just sending a voice note to a friend, or planning a date night with a family member. See where you can connect just a little bit more.

You are not alone. You belong here. And we need you!

Wishing you a wonderful week ahead💜

With Love,

Gillian
