Building Community with YOU!
These are exciting times of transition for the bliss community as we settle into our new expansive space. Some of you have lamented the changes and expressed fond memories of the first 12 years in the bliss house. It is a natural reaction to hold dear what was, and yet a necessary evolution to welcome what is. If you have not yet visited the new bliss, I encourage you to join us. It is not the building, but the people whose presence makes community. As we share precious time with each other, become known through deep meaningful conversations, support each other through tough times and celebrate our many milestones we feel the comfort of connection. Together we may overcome any challenges and obstacles and may look back at them to discover that they were implemental to our growth. All of our friends have superpowers, and many are ready and willing to share them. For others not yet quite ready to share your kind presence provides a safe space for Facilitators to explore their gifts and hone their talents. By caring for one another in this intimate way we are co-creating a new way of being with untold ripple effects as we move through our days influencing others to join us as they witness not only what we say but how we live. We are building an army for good. We are seeking assistance for the following roles.

2026 New Year Address
2026 is the year of the Fire Horse. This combination emerges once every 60 years and is characterized by: Unstoppable Energy (drive for ambitious goals) Bold Transformation (initiating radical shifts) Freedom & Independence (defying limitations) Courage & Passion (determined & adventurous spirit) Duality (balance of action & groundedness) Together we are engaging life itself, roaming realms, exploring the many facets of creation, and discovering liberty through our collective authenticity. My Chinese Zodiac is Fire Horse and I can’t wait to see what we co-create in 2026. If you have been on the fence and leaning in… this is an auspicious year to join our herd. Giddy Up! Tish
