A retreat sounds like such a nice thing to do, I wish I could pull that off with my friends! But where would one stay? Hmm… Great series this, about soul tribes. Your question on “how to find people” reminded me of an article I wrote for WhipUp that is called Craft with others – a guide to find new friends that might have some ideas on how to find people and connect with likeminded, spiritual or creative or soul sistas! :-)

be well!

Thanks for blowing the bullhorn. I never heard of ‘scaffolding’ but I can see how a good schemer would come up with that. I hope I never did that – or was that to someone else. Much love.

Rachelle,
If it wasn’t for you I would not have my soul tribe. Through you I found Jamie and Jamie led me to ….:)

As far as my at home life, it is somewhat different. I am somewhat isolated and/or much as I love and appreciate my friends ( & vice-versa) they are just not at that PLACE or can not quite grasp this concept. Does that make any sense?

This article was so freeing for me to read. You nailed all of the little gremlins that rant in my head about what a soul tribe is/should be, and you sent them off. This is beautifully written, and so inspiring. And most of all, possible. Thank you.

Rachelle,
You are pointing the way toward a beautiful path for people to walk if they so choose. Thank you for this. The “advice” you give is practical, powerful, and poetic. Your heart is so big, so open, and I am grateful for your presence here…Hugs! J

G’day Rachelle

I’ve followed your adventures since Monkfish Abbey days. After a few adventurous years of our own, I’m now at the consolidating stage where I need some face2face soultribing.

Your soultribe series has been an inspiration and I just put your seashell button on my blog. Of course I had to cos it happens to match my colourways :-), and it’s kinda’ like a cosmic payback for the great seashell robbery. You lose some, you gain some :)

One thing I have learned about this from experience is to get to know someone on an individual basis before inviting them to take part in a group/soultribe setting. It’s hard to “uninvite” someone once you realize they are, for whatever reason, a crazymaker.
I love this article because it inspired me to try again at the “soul tribe” idea, as my first try had been more of a “come one, come all”, where it took only a few unhealthy people to put a bad taste in my mouth. The more I get to know myself, the more I see what kind of people I need in my soul tribe, too.
Thanks for this post!

What if you’ve been isolated for a while? Maybe you’re in a new city, or new situation? How do you find folks to put on the list? What if you’re a little shy when it comes to meeting new people? Tips, suggestions, divine intervention?
