You would think that you’d go MAD approaching the community launch date in less than two weeks, but for me, it’s always quite the opposite; the busier it gets the more my spirit demands to SLOW DOWN. 🦥
I listened – and I really just did the minimum this week. Less time in front of the computer, my smartphone was on flight mode most of the time, and I even started a 36-hour silent retreat on Wednesday evening.
No reading, listening, talking, or interaction of any sort. Move, sit, meditate, breathe, eat, sleep, repeat. Silence is always daunting for the mind at first, but it always turns out to be a very insightful and rich inner experience. Coming out of it with crystal clarity and focus one can even move the biggest mountain with ease.
I believe in the power of silence so much that it’s one of our “classes” in the membership, as you’ve probably seen in my last newsletter. Try it!
Anyways, I’m back online now, full of inspiration. 😊
And since we are launching soon (on the 15th of September!), here’s where we are at:
At the time of writing this, we have 58 people on the waiting list to join us! That is freaking amazing!
4 mentoring spots are already taken, and 3-4 folks are currently considering their options. So happy about that, too! I am yet to announce all of our mentors officially (waiting for some info)! Katja, Joe, Sinead – coming soon. You can read about them here.
If you are considering joining the mentoring programme, please do reach out ASAP before these slots are filled.
In this email, I wanted to share a bit more about our intake process, decisions on pricing and some founding member perks.
Quarterly intakes
We decided to have quarterly intakes of new members, so we’ll open our doors every 3 months for 2 weeks. During this time, people can apply to join our community for 3 or 6 months, depending on the Element they chose.
Minimum commitment period for Earth & Air: 3 months
Minimum commitment period for Water & Fire*: 6 months
The reason why there are 3, 6 months commitment periods is that we want to take people on a journey, have them bond and connect with their cohort over a period of time, and see what else can unfold from there. Since Water and Fire include mentoring and coaching, we ask for 6 months of commitment.
📌 The first intake starts on 15th September for 2 weeks. We officially kick off on 1st October.
*I decided to postpone the launch of the Fire Element, which comes with a bunch more advanced features (coaching, co-creation sessions), to January 2023.
Application process
We work on a referral/invite-only basis as we want to make sure that we have the right people on board. Those who are ready and committed to their full potential and at the same time get the bigger picture of humanplus and bring the right mindset to co-create this community.
Whoever is on this email list, is the right person. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be on this list. If that makes sense. You’re automatically in! I’ll send you a little form to complete tho and review our community guidelines.
How & why we chose the pricing
Right now, we really want to make this accessible for everyone who is ready to commit to their personal development.
I know that many of the things that we talk about are it is quite abstract for people who have “normal” jobs and aren’t as immersed in the world of personal development and spirituality as others are.
In the end, anything to do with “consciousness”, “spirituality” or “awakening” is hard to explain because it is something that simply cannot be explained with words. It needs to be experienced.
So, making the barrier to entry low but not too low so people have some “skin in the game” to actually show up and do the work is the strategy I’m taking.
After this intake, we intend to increase our prices.
Speaking of…. 💸
Money, money, money
Money! It’s a topic. 🙈
“I’d love to join but I don’t know if I have the money.”
I heard it from literally every archetype there is; from people who have stable, well-paid jobs and years of savings, to genuinely broke people. 🤔 😀
Here’s the thing:
If you really don’t have the money in your bank account and see this as a temporary situation (important mindset) but you know you belong to this community, and you can contribute your skills in other ways (perhaps you are a great web designer, programmer, coordinator, or else), I’d be happy to talk about alternative energy exchange (this will be the exception, not the rule tho).
However, if you are just not ready to invest in yourself and go all in: don’t sign up. It’ll not be beneficial for anyone.
I have invested THOUSANDS into my personal development over the years; coaching, online courses, you name it. That’s why I do what I do today. And that’s why I also know that it is a) worth it and b) important to have “skin in the game” to take it seriously.
Access to the community starts at the price of two avocado toasts. 🥑
Priorities, my friends.
On that note, I loved this message from a new member the other day:
That is self-leadership in action! Thank you – you know who you are – for sharing so openly and honestly with me and being a great example for others. 🙏🏼
What would you like to know more about?
I’d like to know from you; what would you like to know more about? What questions do you have? Let me know. Either I will reply to them directly, or, if it’s a theme include it in the next update.
Have a lovely day!
Kat 💛
