For our next Communion gathering in February I have invited Lenna Sachinis and Nadine Lemoine, who I met through a co-work/co-live experience in Portugal to join us and collaborate on the theme of Anchoring AND Expansion.
As I have been geographically mobile for the last few years, I have found it fascinating to learn how people across the globe are finding that balance of feeling rooted through a stable sense of routine and community, while also making room to find inspiration through peak experiences and new connections.
As humans, we seem to need both anchoring and expansion, but struggle to find the balance of the two, and properly integrate these two facets of what we desire. If we are seeking expansion through travel or inward journeys, how can we also prioritize anchoring? If we are in a season of anchoring, how can we also make more room for expansion? We will learn from each other's experiences around these topics as part of our shared communion time at this session.
Agenda:
Welcome & Meditation
Group Introductions
Intro & Review Theme: Expansion AND Anchoring

About the Series:
Through this series we explore themes around integration of key ideas in a communal space: spirituality AND success, sex AND sacredness, Eastern AND western, Global AND local, Tradition AND Trailblazing, etc. We will do this with an international community of impact-driven people who are values-aligned. Through this platform we will have the chance to elevate wisdom keepers, facilitate cross-cultural connection, and nurture each other with new tools and practices. If you know of others who might find value in being part of this community or network, feel free to let me know.
Suggested Investment: Suggested donation of $20.23 at the completion of the event to appreciate the time and talents of facilitators (paypal: escutchfield@gmail.com)
