3 Online Communities: Find Your Right Fit
Jen Louden, Ronna Detrick and I each specialize in soulcare, and each of us have on-line membership communities. Rather than be competitors, we chose to see each other as collaborative colleagues. As a testimony to abundance, and in commitment to helping our readers find the right fit, we decided to introduce our fans to all three flavors of communal goodness.
Jen posted part one of this interview with we three sister coaches. Learn about our hearts for our members at The Comfort Cafe, Flock, and A Conversational Space. Which one is the right fit for your soulcare needs? Find your place of support and inspiration.
Today, a sneak peek inside our ultimate dreams for our communities; our big motivators; and the Trio Collection of Proverbs Cards, our gift from us to you. Thanks for being here!
Q: If money or time were no object, what do you wish you could offer your community members?
Rachelle: I would hop around from region to region for intimate local Flock meet-ups. I’d be able to do monthly group video chats. And every member would get an exclusive piece of Flock jewelry when they joined. (Maybe a charm bracelet with inspirational Flock mottos.)
Ronna: I would fly them all to my home and spend a long, luxurious weekend with them in fabulous conversation. We’d eat fabulous food, drink glorious wine (and coffee), and soak up the beauty of each other’s presence and heart!
Jen:A quarterly live retreat at some fantastic eco resort staffed by cabana boys with warm coconut oil… The Cafers in person, oh my, that would be incredible. I’d adore showering them with beauty and rest and play, and each other’s holy presences. And really delish gift bags. And plenty of time to be seen and to connect our hearts and brains together. Four times a year!
Q: How much of what you’ve created and continue to offer speaks to your own questions, desires, thoughts, hopes, needs?
Rachelle: Everything I offer emerges out of the needs that I hear arising in the community and within myself. Right now there is a deep to get unstuck so dreams, passions, and visions can get themselves born; a desire to not feel alone in that journey; and a wish to be known and valued for your personal brand of wisdom. Flock was created so that we can meet those desires, together.
Ronna: I am not even remotely fooled by this reality. 100% of what I create and offer is because it speaks to the very things I most wonder about, most hope for, most fear, most desire. I am thinking about these things all the time for myself so the gift of being able to engage in conversation with others is total gift!
Jen: The stuff we explore is timeless. You keep visiting the same stuff over and over in your life, only from a different perspective. The Cafe is meant to help us remember more of what we know and be kinder to ourselves when we forget. So of course, I’m right there with everyone else. I pick monthly topics that are of interest to me, that are at my learning edge.

Everything about what you do Rachelle is beautiful. My soul feels so inspired and cared for reading this post and visiting your world. Thank you for making this sharing happen – a gorgeous idea!
Indeed, a gorgeous idea that you created and brought to life, Rachelle. I’m deeply inspired and beyond grateful. And LOVE that others are invited into this dance of collaboration and cooperation among women. Thank you!
Awww….thanks ladies. And thanks for keeping the word circulating whilst I am amid moving house!
It’s so great that the three of you are doing such wonderful work in building community, and I’m loving being a Flock member, it’s such a really warm and friendly space.
Of course I’m ignoring that little voice that says I want to be a Cafe member and a Space member as well – there are just only so many hours in the day… it’s my networking greed speaking!
I’ve been blessed to be a member of Flock since April. With the support and encouragement of my fellow Flock-ettes, I took the leap and began my own website where I share my love of Tarot, present Beginning Tarot 101 lessons (the brilliant Rachelle’s idea), and offer a range of intuitive readings. I don’t think I would have found the courage to take that leap for a long time if not for Flock. When I struggle in other areas of my life, I turn to my sisters at Flock. Always, there are warm hearts there to remind me I’m not alone.

I love this community. You have truly created a place for all of us, who don’t really fit in the mainstream denominations like a glove. I am learning what it is like to not feel alone.
Flock is brilliant, and I’m proud to be it’s “wealth coach.” It’s a place where people can get support for daily living, friends for the journey, and also real help and feedback in a semi-private setting. (Who wants to post their questions and quandaries for the whole world to read?)
And thanks for introducing us to two other soulcare communities – what a grand idea to look to others doing something similar as collaborators and not competitors. Hopefully you’ll all set such a successful trend that the need for even more communities arise!
I just joined Flock and fell in love instantly with Rachelle, with all that Flock offers. I haven’t even had time to introduce myself yet, but I know it is going to be a blessed experience. Just looking around the site I felt like I truly landed at home -
Tess — I know! I want to go to the Cafe and Conversational Space too! Maybe we could set up a “visitor’s pass” –where members of one group could go on a little holiday to the others?
Kate, Ashley, Tren — Thanks for all your kind words about Flock. I feel so fortunate to spend time with you all!
Hello Dreamers! I’m so pleased to be the the Dream Specialist for Rachelle’s Flock! Dreams are endlessly fascinating – they offer you, the dreamer, a custom message full of insight, solutions and creativity – I’m happy to show you how!
Many thanks to Rachelle and Flock for offering exciting resources – including two more soulcare communities! Welcome to all! XO Karen
