Portal of Emerging Mystery

POEM is a thematic group process of relational presence and devotional creativity. Once a month, we gather around a chosen theme, allowing it to inspire the interweaving of our personal narratives into communal expression, awareness, and aligned action. 

POEM includes:

  • Co-created ceremony

  • Thematic exploration

  • Guided meditation

  • Group embodiment practices

  • Relational mindfulness practices

  • Facilitated conscious conversation

  • Journaling and sharing

  • Intentions of service

Through heart coherence, embodiment practices, ceremony, conscious relating, and artistic play, we connect to the emerging wisdom of our bodies, minds, souls, and the mystery of Life. 

As we deepen into the theme in ourselves and with each other, we also invite the presence of the wider Earth community to inform our becoming. We tap into that which seems beyond ourselves and, at the same time, resides in the deep heart’s core.

Allowing the words, rhythms, metaphors, and truths of personal, interpersonal, and transpersonal experience to arise, we open to the artistry of Life emerging and emanating from us.

How do we tend to the fire in our hearts?

How can we witness and honor the wisdom of our bodies and the essence of our souls?

How does community support our mutual being, becoming, and belonging?

How will we take responsibility for bringing our specific gifts and collective insights into wider service for the healing of the world?

Co-creating a ritual of relational presence.

Sourcing our collective earth-soul wisdom.

Speaking the unknown into active being.

We are the portal. We are the poem.

HOW TO PREPARE:

Bring paper and something to write with, a vessel of water for group ceremony, and wear clothing you're comfortable moving in. Cameras need to be on during this interactive process.
