I’m going to try to weave together my thoughts this week into something coherent; stay with me if you wish to know more about my Magical Mama Circle or are curious!
First a surf experience/analogy….I have been asking the Universe to show me my next step by way of a coach or teacher or other support. The thing about surfing is I (still) don’t know what I don’t know so the timeline or “practical next steps” can feel really elusive. For as “go with the flow” as I feel I can be, I HAVE GOALS. Hah. Long story short, a potential coach did show up this week and although I have not official hired him, I felt this sigh of relief. Albeit a careful one because I believe the hard work is still mine and no one, no matter who they are, has the “magic pill” to make me a better surfer. But I felt relief in knowing I will be choosing SUPPORT. I can’t say whether I will magically be able to learn or apply a certain surf technique; but the support may bring me new things and new accomplishments that aren’t even on my radar!
That is the thing about support. We must be open to receiving it but we do not know what will happen after that. Magic!
And it made me realize that our Magical Mama Circle is support and I wanted to describe that more or pull it apart because it also feels like an overused word.
To me, “support” is the love or attention or “I’ve got you” vibe that others can provide to us on our journeys. It is NOT direct “help”, it’s not even always a doing. It’s a vibration of caring, really and if we know we have goals or ways we want to improve, this support can be THE THING that makes it or breaks it. Because support can hold us accountable; support can be motivating and directional. Support can be inspirational and it can give us a perspective that changes our lives.
Can you feel this kind of support in your own body?
This is my Magical Mama Circle; for a full 3 years now, this is what I see and feel. The true definition of support. Of women really showing up for themselves and for each other. Because that is what women do, that is what we are capable of and most of us have little to no opportunity to do that in “real life”. Although virtual, this Circle is “real”.
I see that you, out there as a potential new Circle member could begin with us with your own “goals”. Maybe it’s giving yourself and your body and psyche and spirit this space. Maybe it is learning how to be with other women. Maybe it is the somatic work and mediations we do together. Maybe it is the goal of committing to something and sticking with it and seeing how your life changes. Goals do not have to always be masculine, or have be linear. We can set the intention of being open as well, and see what happens when we commit to support.
How might your life change if you were to receive the support that is in this Circle?
Who knows!
I usually open my Magical Mama Circle in June but I am taking early applications for March/April. The application is there to make sure there is a solid match of desire/intention/energy, and new members can begin NOW thereby receiving more than a year of membership. (We still officially start our Circle “year” in July).
If true, real, authentic support is something you desire or are curious about, you can read more about Circle here.
Applications can be submitted here and if you have questions, please hit reply and don’t be afraid to ask them!
I am offering this extended enrollment option for March and April only. Otherwise, Circle will be open for yearly membership this Summer.
In support of your journey,
Maryn
