Dreaming Her In (as Well as others)
by Caryn MacGrandle
As I watch the transitions going on in our human story, at the same time I am thinking of where I shall move as I am not interested in staying long term in my current state of Alabama. I think of places such as Portland, Massachusetts, Colorado but realize what really makes an area are the people you are in close proximity to.
I think on ‘intentional communities’ of which there are a growing number and are attractive, but … there is still something missing.
I spend a lot of time, money and energy traveling to different gatherings full of ‘my people’. I have been gifted with a community of 12,000 of my people through the divine feminine app (an online platform since 2014 to find circles, events, retreats and resources): Witches, Priestesses, Authors, Teachers, Retreat Leaders … women who have been following the Path of the Goddess and the Sacred Feminine.
I realize that is where I want to be … in a Goddess Inspired Community. I start talking about this with my ‘Conmadres’ (With Mother). I see their eyes light up. They, too have dreamt of this for years, decades.
Let’s make it a reality.
Brainstorming what I see for a Goddess Inspired Community:
.
A place to learn about Goddess culture in antiquity going over 1000’s of years. I know of so many organizations and authors who offer this wisdom. Invite them in and have classes: physical and online.

- Incorporate in chanting, drumming, ceremony, rituals of passage to everyday life. Full moon circles and new. Rituals that empower the individual that are not just about ‘buying shit’.
- Respect and support for all stages of life: the young, the old, the sick, the dying. Realization that all still have contributions to make (the old keeping an eye on the young, having time for stories, etc.), and even when they have passed their ability to contribute, the community will still help them on their ‘next travels’. (a safe and supported place to die.)
- Places and support for grieving.
- Esoteric study of ways to communicate with other worlds. Support and learn. Support the mystical. Learn of other cultures, their ways, their religions all with an emphasis on respect and unity.
- Women only and men only areas. ‘Safe’ nudity. I know there are many who would prefer a ‘womyn only’ community, and I can respect that as I get that there is a comfort level when you are with your own gender. I believe we must carve space for that. But in the community as a whole, I do believe that in order to ‘balance’ the world we must give every gender, every culture a seat at the table. Also, I have met many men who are open, compassionate, empathetic, respectful, even those who follow the Goddess. I have also met many women who are not the preceding qualities. I think it is essential that we recognize that men have also been hurt by the Dominator culture. Those that are ready to move past that and embody those qualities (men, women, all genders, all cultures) are welcome.
- Substance free. With addiction and support programs for those struggling with chemical substances. My heart breaks looking at how the current culture has turned Addiction into a commodity without actually putting energy into solving the problem. The ultimate solution for Addiction is Community. But don’t get me wrong, I understand the path is long and hard.
- Communal kitchen and garden.
- Sacred areas and altars that are respected as places to honor divinity and nature.
- Work ‘with’ the Land. Asking, respecting, giving back, stewarding. An attempt to make everything as ‘eco-friendly’ as possible. Working towards this with the recognization that we are all in different places with this.
How do we get there?
- Make it work on a small scale first but with a ‘big plan’.
- First step: 3-4 people/families living there.
- Combination of private ownership with individual homes as well as ability to build a tiny home on land that one retains ownership of home and can sell but pays rent on land as well as working towards offering housing to those without the financial means.
- ‘Sliding scales’ – recognizing and allowing all of us at different comfort levels and wisdom of finance.
- Transparency. Updates. Reports. Realizing again we are all at different spots with privacy and ‘sharing’ comfort levels.
- Hipcamp – revenue through ‘intentional’ camping. AirBNB both focused on those wanting to come to Mother Well.
As Annie Finch said in this video with Caryn MacGrandle, founder of the divine feminine app, the bottom line is that we don’t have to ‘overplan’ this, you put together the divine feminine women, and magick will happen.
‘Unless thou knowest the mystery
that If that which thou seek
thou findest it not within ye,
thou will never find it without thee.’For behold,
I have been with ye from the beginning
and I am that which is attained
at the end of desire.’

This idea is not a surprise to me, as it has always floated within the Greater Field of Life as a possibility. Many, over the years, have taken the idea and held it as their meaningful contribution.
I have seen the emergence of such centers/communities all over the planet, their connection being common values of holding Good in all forms. Example, the values of the Cultural Creatives.
As I sat with my own collaborative teams in the worlds of seen specifically during the past three weeks, No Kings gatherings, and then this morning, I see your value here.
My groups doing the deeper work of moving all agendas and energies of Domination to extinction set very clear designs for the No Kings gathering… just what manifested. So, when I sat in conversation with Sananda and the Ancient Ones this morning, I asked, “What is next?”
It was a long conversation and I am sharing what is valuable to Caryn’s question…
The space designed for No Kings Day is duplicated and expanded to be the qualities and boundaries for all earth interactions. We, in spiritual worlds, are present and guided by those decrees for all Good.
The energies generated are cleared, restored, and coded for all Good, The No King gatherings demanded an end. Now, time to build Good together, with collaboration, creativity, respect, unity, and equity. Many ideas are present and emerging.
These ideas must be kept free of competition, filled with divine resourcing, and delight in diversity. Gaia will be tended, considered, respected, and heard. Next steps? 7 million people connected in smaller groups. Weaving amongst and between each unique culture, social good, not corporate profits, rigidity, softened
My groups will hold these Reality Declarations:
1. The Greater Field of Life, as a reflection of All Good, delights to open doors to the unlimited visions of home to star beings in human experiences
2. Humanity has awakened to the grandeur of collaborative power to hear and create unlimited forms of health support, safety, shelter, and stability, with respect for diverse wisdom.
3. Humanity lives in cultures of respectful interactions with Gaia in lives of stability, beauty, abundance, and expansion, and those cultures have multiplied.
4. I am a dot of life dancing and resting with the multiple dots of light that are humanity and Gaia.
My input and blessings.
Sharon, thanking you for your worthy and wise input! <3 Caryn
