Emma’s Tribe-Member positions open:

-Cuddlers! (I can never have too many)
-People who force me to be my best self
-People who have “been there”, and want to share
-People for ME to take care of too
-Anyone who has an open mind and an open heart
-I’m sure there are many more….

I liked this post, Rachelle, and I love the image of the shells around the word “Tribe”…

This post reminded me of two summers ago, when I was in the musical “Hair”. The group of characters called themselves a Tribe, and as a cast, we were to become a Tribe as well, and begin to tap the surface of what the word meant. We spent long, 10 to 13-hour days together for 6 weeks, and many nights after rehearsal at the beach, or anywhere else we could talk. It was quite the second family. :)

Dear Tribal Folk,

Oh, I think we need to build some tribes, don’t you? Watch for posts in the new year about how to gather your Soultribe around you. Yes we can!

This is a beautiful post as always. In my Tribe I think I need all of those people, but most important, I need to stop being so damned independent and let them in!
I’m wishing you the Tribe you need and some respite in terms of health in 2009.

I’ve been thinking a lot about my Tribe lately. It’s been shifting and growing over the past year or two. I’ve been pondering how to gather together some of these far-flung kindred spirits, either physically or virtually, and deepen my relationships with them. Right now my connections are wide, which I love. But I also need the depth that usually comes when we identify our “inner circle.” That sounds cliquey, which is not what I mean at all. I’m still not sure how all of this will play out, but I’m trusting that my Tribe and I will figure it out as we go along.

“I need them (my tribe) around me all the time, sending me messages of hope and speaking affirmation in my ears. I feel sheepish about it — this constant need for feedback and assistance and the exchange of ideas.”

Tribe. Another good word is clan. My tribe/clan has seriously dwindled over the last few years. I have been making changes in my life that have been controversial. It is amazing how those decisions truly ‘shake out’ the real friends/clan mates from the false or insincere.

I need to begin building my clan again ~ to gather my friends, seek out their ears and hearts ~ to build my flagging spirits & strengthen my dreams.

…perhaps along the way we can hold each other up and gain strength from the bonds of the tribes we build…

Thank you, MagPie, for your inspiration. I am going to act today to build my clan. :o)

Blessing for you & yours on the Yule…

People whose spare time is people-focused: happier to spend time making their own amusements together than looking at externally-made amusements (TV, etc). People to cook with. People to feed.

Oh this is luscious. Divine, and inspiring. This is a wonderful question to take with me into my Solstice dreamtime.

Much love to you,

OMG! OMG! OMG! I had a dream about this and I emailed you all about it before I even saw this blog! I attached pictures in the email after that! Amazingly, the dream was about the same thing – you have to read it!

Oh Yippeee.
This was exactly what my lil heart needed to hear today.
Just yesterday I was writing my mother asking “What does it mean to be without soul sisters?” For me it feels like I’m broken. Wingless.
I think for my living communally with other truth-teller women who breathe relationally + spirituality in ways that keep my on my path feels like water and air. Unnegotiable.
Since I moved to California 3 years ago I have felt like my cubords are bare.
I don’t know what to do or what it means.
Why do I feel this pull towards community and what does it mean for me when it’s not fofilled?
What is the Muse murmuring in this moment? I’m straining to hear…….

I love your blog writings!

I need to make the time to sit down and read more, your archives.

What a gem!

great post about owning what you’re sitting with and holding right now

so who do I want/need in my tribe?
people who will not sell out to stay “like everyone else”
people who are willing to be authentic

i truly believe if we all did that, then we would find our tribes
why it gets so damn confusing is there are too many masked layers to get through

a tribe of truthful livers (as in living, not the body part)
what a gift that would be

I need a friend who I can have good conversation with and who I want to do things with and with whom I enjoy being around. I haven’t had a friend like this in a long time, or they don’t stick around (Or I don’t stick around).

I need one or more of everything. Having kept to myself for so long, there is no “tribe” to speak of.
