We had our first gathering, about 30 young adults between the ages of 25 and 35. Each one walked in bright, excited, and overall feeling the power of this event surging through the room. Some sat off to the sides, in the back, wanting to blend into the background and simply listen in.
Lisa suggested that we gather in a circle, that would seem cozier, more personal she said, and yet in the background I could see others, shaking their head …..and I could hear the thoughts, just let me stay invisible, let me stay in the background. So we kept the room arrangement just as is. This was after all their first gathering. Just how was all of this going to unfold?
We started with beautiful Jessica, who brought her guitar, amplifier, and voice. She sang songs that she has written, and with each song I could witness the vibration expanding in the room.
As Ryan said to me before we started, “this is going to be the first time that I can speak openly and freely about my experiences in a room of my peers and no one will think I am strange!” He then went on to say, he could do it, but it was going to feel a bit odd.
I also had a phone call earlier that day from a man who wanted to come but is very sensitive to energy. He wanted to know, if I would make him talk. He then wanted to make sure I would not require him to interact with others. I assured him that he could slip into the back of the room and listen in. I went on to say that he would be with like minded peers and would really enjoy the things he heard. He never actually made it. Next time, next time.
So after Ryan made the statement about speaking out loud about what others may interpret as crazy, I realized this would be a night of building a comfort zone filled with information that is not normally talked about out loud. We all in the room would be creating a new language that is normal for us and if that is all we did, that was okay.
I know their stories. I have young people call, email and talk about their experiences frequently. Their dreams and visions uplift them and frighten them. These dreams are not just simple dreams. They are filled with color, movement, and emotion, strong emotion. Then they wake and wonder….what am I supposed to do with that. I wanted to hear many of them in the room, tell the depth of what they know, because they are not alone. And yet, again, and I remembered the first time someone asked me….what do you see? I had laryngitis for 2 weeks because so much came up in my throat about ….I am not supposed to say outloud about what I see. So for this event, it was an evening, of relaxed conversation, about intense…subjects. I laugh as I write that contradiction in terms!
Just this morning, I heard from M in Canada who just turned 30 in November. The past 3 nights were especially intense with dreams of earthquakes and tsunamis. So we talked about when, where and what should she, we do with the information. Is it real is it symbolic? As Yvonne and I listened to her we stayed grounded, and heart open so we could enhance our presence and calm fears. We see these dreams and visions increasing more in these past two years.
What I find the most significant in this age group is the feeling that each one has lived 20 lives in the first 30 years of their life. They are not just imagining their life as hard and intense, but in truth it is, because they are living life for multiple generations. As we all are, but this group specifically agreed to heal many generations of family and hearing that helped them put their own pain into a different perspective. Not an easier perspective, just different.
What did happen was lots of stories were told. Some sharing was shared. And, those that felt comfortable at the end met each other face to face, with active plans to start the momentum of creating a group that promises to support each other in these times of change. A facebook page was created by Linda and already having others in the group joining in to have a place to stay connected.
We even had Almendra who has the Mayan Calendar tattooed on her body……so we had a visual picture as she told her story of visions and messages of these important times. She was very nervous but she too came up and talked because as she said…..she had to, she was guided too. Her accent was so strong, and she had written her messages on little yellow post it notes because when she read her translations in english she could say it better from the notes.
Judy Bernard, accupuncturist, chinese medicine, and sound healer spoke about what she is seeing in these younger adults. She also confirmed the pattern of taking on several generations of integration in their one lifetime. Authenticity is what this age group is wanting. Just being real and authentic, no matter what. She also mentioned that because their vibration is naturally higher than older adults the younger ones can not tolerate a diet of heavy foods, such as macaroni and cheese. Or foods with many preservatives. Food Allergies has a higher occurance in this age group than in older adults and it is because of their vibration. Many in the group could relate to this.
Rob Rogoni (robrigoni.com) is an amazing musician and dear friend. When I realized that so many young people who could not be at the event because they were in other states or countries….I emailed Rob and he did not have a performance that weekend, and he had been following the emails about the event. So he brought some equipment to record the event. However it is 3 hours of material that would have to be edited. so I am not sure how or when we will organize this, so it is now a work in progress.
So it was deep and on the surface at the same time. We are just scratching the surface and plan to do it again! So as young adults, watch for more gatherings being organized and if you were born between 1975 to 1985 range and want to join on facebook to follow the dialogue, email us and let us know!
