Have you ever felt like the odd one out? Have you ever felt different from the people around you? Maybe you are more sensitive, more intuitive, or more aware of things that others do not always seem to understand. Maybe you have what some would call a āsixth sense,ā and you have often wondered where you truly belong. I understand that feeling. Iām Dr. Earl, and one of the things I feel called to do is create spaces and systems that support people who need somewhere safe to simply be themselves; to explore their spirituality without judgment, to connect with others, and to receive support along their healing journey. Ascend Collective was a community I felt guided by the Divine to create and nurture. Inside Ascend Collective, we move through a gentle rhythm of setting intentions, doing inner work, reflecting, healing, and integrating. There is no pressure to keep up, perform, or become someone you are not. We also believe that healing does not always have to happen alone. Ascend Collective is a circle-based community with a pass-it-forward culture. Members support one another through Community Offerings, where they can share their own gifts and talents with the community. In return, they also have opportunities to receive and participate in the gifts offered by others. It is members supporting members. People giving when they feel called. People receiving when they need it. One of our newest monthly gatherings is the World Healing Circle, which I personally facilitate as a Certified Energy Healing Practitioner Level II. During the World Healing Circle, we come together with the shared intention of sending healing energy to ourselves, humanity, animals, all living beings, the Earth, and the collective consciousness... for the highest good of all.... Whether you participate actively or quietly, every person who becomes part of this circle contributes, directly or indirectly, to something greater than themselves.
