Hi - I was invited by someone in the Findhorn community to join a 21 day abundance meditation group, and am now on day 5 where we are asked to set up our own groups. I am offering 5 spaces for people to join this group - you can do it daily in your own time, following a Whatsapp message to show you your task for the day, drawn from Deepak Chopra recordings. Please private message me if you would like to participate - by end of Monday 6th April 2020.
best regards, Catherine.
