Sunday, September 21, 2025 @ 10:00am-12:00noon (Pacific Time)
Event Navigation

Discover how to take your place in the living collective while maintaining your sovereignty and authenticity.
What does it mean to be a true citizen of the world—not as an abstract ideal, but as an embodied reality? In this illuminating session, Jeannie will guide participants beyond both rugged individualism and self-abandoning collectivism into a vision of citizenship rooted in the understanding that we are distinct yet inseparable parts of a living whole.
Referencing Jeannie’s “1-2-3” framework for building authentic and love-based community, we’ll focus specifically on how true citizenship emerges naturally when we’re grounded in being, sovereignty and enlightened relating.
-
The difference between obligation-based citizenship and contribution flowing from wholeness
-
The importance of sovereignty, authenticity, self-care and self-trust
-
The role of container and how to relate to that with maturity
-
Recognizing feel-good immature belonging versus true belonging
-
How to identify your unique gifts that may differ from those of others
-
Ways to participate in collective endeavors without losing your center or voice
-
The importance of learning about our impact on the commons
-
The art of holding healthy boundaries while remaining responsive to the needs of the whole
This class invites you to consider: What if your clearest expression of individual truth is exactly what the whole needs? What if being fully yourself is your greatest service? What if your sovereignty and the collective’s well-being are not opposed, but intimately connected?
