    Hi Group! I look forward to ”trying” to do some experiential writing. One of my greatest desires is learning to write, I have the darnedest time opening-up and putting my thoughts into words on paper. My hope it that I might learn some useful skills through my membership with this Group.

    If I am in the wrong Group, please let me know.

      You’re in the right group Pamela, but you’ll have to be patient with us. We’re all kind of shifting a bit at the moment, which is a huge part of what this site/group is about… moving with the energy. At the moment, we’ve all been chatting a bit more over at Facebook and haven’t been writing here for a bit. I think the initial burst of energy that happened when the site got up and running really kick-started some transformation work for everyone involved. I’m just dropping in today and seeing the site with fresh eyes today and it’s truly a beautiful site with so much potential :-O but as always, we’ll move with the energy and I’m not sure where it’s going next (yet). Maybe friend me on Facebook and we’ll get you connected to other HG’ers there so you can stay in the loop no matter here or there.

      Hi Suzanne -

      Thank you for your response. I can appreciate the shift in energy but, unfortunately, I do not use Facebook. Therefore, I will navigate the Group a bit and see where it takes me.

      Warm Regards,

      Pam (*-*)

      It’s actually a private group. We’re just starting Week 3 today but if you’d like you can jump in with us. Find and friend me on Facebook so I can add you.

      I was wondering where you’d disappeared to….I see you practice Ho’oponopo. I read a fascinating article about that a while back, with a guy who used it very effectively in a Hawaiian prison with the most ”dangerous and disturbed” prisoners.

      I think anything goes for now. We kind of petered out on the discussion.

      Uranus entered Aries and it totally shifted the entire experience here for a while. We’re moving with the energy and that’s all that we need to do.

    Nothing to report except that I finally checked back in here, to the writers guild. I’ve started multiple articles in my head or on paper, but nothing has found its way to completion. I’ll give you my two cents worth (maybe even three cents!) on the whole featured topic dealie soon….Now if I can just [...]

    I think releasing a broader theme (one per month or something) and let each writer interpret that how they wish and position their article within it to their preferences, might work. Just to keep the train rolling in terms of idea generation. We can then release our articles anytime within that month – no huge [...]

    Granted we’re in a period of deep shifting across the planet and I’m inclined to believe everyone is caught up in their own personal piece of that at the moment, but I’d like to check in to see if there’s any energy around the featured/focused topics yet…

    Send word.

    And I also like the fact it puts some of the responsibility back on the writer – to listen within. This ultimately is one of the core goals – to reconnect the divine feminine and to create a place for it in your life again where it can guide you. But you have to have [...]

    I like the idea of having a list of options to choose from and then writing whenever you want. Feels less “assigned” that way.

    I like that idea!! I am currently in a bit of a hibernation mode for some reason, so I am a bit silent lately, not adding anything to the interesting ongoing discussions, but I’m sure I’ll be back to normal in a week or so.

    Give us a day or two more Andy, I think things are beginning to solidify here. For those of you who have been participating in all this, I *just* got an idea I want some feedback on: We talked a lot about a different approach to writing for the blog: align, listen, act. The entire [...]

    Hi Folks! I finally starting to see some light at the end of my desk so will probably feel the need to start writing/sharing soon. Pretty keen on some of next few topics but this forum has lost me a little as to what’s next:-) If you have time, can someone please humour me, summarise [...]

    Good point! That’s exactly what happened with my article for the What is Love? topic.

    I see! You’re saying computers have souls! ;) No, I get what you’re saying. As to Velma’s point about the love articles, I don’t feel like this approach excludes any subject, provided it has something to do with your personal experience, which I think is what your soul would prefer to write about anyway. And [...]

    Actually here’s a good analogy. What we were doing is akin to sitting at a computer and asking it, “Tell me how you feel about chocolate?” The computer will respond with anything it can about its experiences with chocolate. But in truth, the computer has infinite things it could say about an infinite number of [...]

    That’s the whole point tho – getting in touch with the soul and simply letting it speak to what’s important in the moment. If it wishes not to communicate today, so it is, but the important thing here isn’t so much the writing, but the practice of aligning and listening and then acting based on [...]
