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.

Share Your bliss Story: Your Voice Can Light the Way for Others
Every soul who walks through the doors of bliss brings something unique – a moment of healing, a spark of gratitude, a breakthrough, or a simple feeling of being held in community. These moments matter. They shape the heart of who we are. When you share your experience, you help others understand what it truly feels like to be part of this circle of connection, compassion, and growth. Your story might be the encouragement someone needs to join their first class, step into a WellBEing Session, participate in an Intensive or walk through a difficult season feeling supported rather than alone. A few heartfelt words can offer warmth, reassurance, and inspiration to someone who is seeking exactly what bliss offers. Your voice becomes a beacon that shows others what is possible when we gather in love and gratitude. Testimonials are more than words on a page – they are reflections of real transformation. They help new community members feel safe, welcomed, and understood. When you share your journey, you help us build a stronger, more connected community – one that continues to expand in love, unity, and purpose. Your contribution becomes part of the living story of bliss. If bliss has touched your heart in any way, we invite you to share your experience. Your story matters. Together, these offerings help shine the light of bliss even brighter. Thank you for considering adding your voice to this growing circle of connection. We are grateful for you! Add your voice and help our community continue to grow in love. Submit your testimonial here: https://blissspiritualco-op.org/bliss-testimonials/ Do you want to help the stories of bliss be heard? We are creating a more current list of testimonials to include pictures and/or short videos which add a level of connectivity for our new website and other promotional materials. Our goal is to expand our community with the heartfelt stories and beautiful faces of our participants and facilitators. We are seeking a volunteer to interview bliss participants on the subject of how bliss connections and experiences have enriched our lives. If encouraging others to share and building community makes your heart sing, this could be your opportunity for expression. Tish, would love to discuss this wonderful opportunity with you. Feel free to reach out at: tish@blisssspiritualco-op.org.
