I have officially been doing seasonal festivals for a full year. I have loved the varation, the astute differences that characterizes each one. I am sold! I will continue to have community festivals every 6 weeks no matter where I am located. It has been so meaningful and the connections have been healing to my soul. I have learned a lot in the past year and really had to put myself in check, get really clear with my intentions and expectations of people.
I started on this path to help make the festivals something that we would stick to doing, especially if other families were relying on us. Then I saw an opportunity to make money from them, and that failed miserably. I spent way too much money and over 1/3 of the people who RSVP'd canceled or didn't show. I got a swift kick in the A$$ an that one. Saying Wake Up! I told you to create community not try to make a living off of this! I got it real fast. So I am back to my original intention! Create community!
I love the tribe that has started to gather around these festivals, and I am blessed beyond words to have these people in my life. They are teaching me so much, all the while I continue to let go of my expectations and limiting beliefs. Through this past year I have realized that in order to have awesome friends, I myself must be an awesome friend. In order to get to know people and create real lasting friendships I must be willing to put in the effort.
I have found my purpose through these seasonal festivals. I am still learning and studying my Steiner teacher training. I am exploring alternative homeschool and playgroup options that can include families from public or homeschool settings, and I am now listening to the I AM that speaks through and within me. I am so grateful for this journey of discovery, wisdom, and most of all friendship!
Really looking forward to the next chapters of my life, helping moms find their passions, purpose and create a life that feels awesome!
