Support and Energy Exchange Network

Welcome and thank you for your interest in the group! My name is Carl and I've been hosting these meetings for almost a year with friends and community members, and I'm excited to "go public" and share this group on Meetup for the first time.

Join us at Casa de Luz Village (1701 Toomey Rd) for an intimate focus session where we'll dive into our goals and intentions for the new year. Come with an open mind and heart and be prepared for a deep and robust discussion. This is a place to heal, inspire, and motivate, and your authentic self is welcomed here.

You do not need to bring anything but you might consider something to take notes on if it will help you. Please note that to protect everyone's privacy, no video/audio recording will be permitted in the session.

Attendance will be limited to ensure we fit comfortably in the reserved, private room and to allow sufficient focus on all attendees. If you will be unable to make it, please kindly update your RSVP to free up your spot.

How to Find Us:
This meeting will be held in the Arcoiris Room, which is in the Casa de Luz Village complex's second floor. As you enter the Village's main entrance, head straight down the path until you see signs pointing right to several rooms, including the Arcoiris Room. Follow that path into the courtyard and there will be a staircase to your left. Go upstairs and it's the first room on the right. I will share my phone number before the event in case you need help finding it.

Parking is free in the city lot across the street from Casa de Luz on weekends and after 4pm on weekdays. There is also paid street parking and a few garages nearby.

How it Works:

• After everyone arrives and settles in to the space and we have a chance to check in, I will open the meeting. I usually share a "theme" with a relevant quote, offering an idea to reflect on during the discussion. You are not required to stick to the theme; it's just there for your consideration.
• Participants will take turns speaking as they feel called to. When it is your turn, you may take as much time as needed to share whatever it is you want to bring to the group that day, e.g., what goals you are working on, obstacles you are working through, recent successes, areas you could use particular support, etc. What and how much you choose to share is at your discretion.
• The other group members (as they feel genuinely moved to) will offer you some kind of support - this could be encouragement, advice, an offer of help, etc. Back and forth discussion between you and other group members is encouraged; it's a dialogue. Feel free to call out anything that particularly resonates or note what you find most helpful.
• Once you feel like you are sufficiently "nourished" by the conversation and have gotten something out of that day's meeting you can carry with you, you will indicate that you feel complete/ready to move on.
• This repeats as each person takes turns sharing and receiving support (hence, an energy exchange), until everyone gets to go.
• There is not a set time for how long this process can take so I try not to set strict end times for the meetings. If anyone has a time crunch they are encouraged to share earlier.
• Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions!
