YBU Now
Gathering Place

An Intro

Are you looking to gather with others, create connections, and have deep rich life changing discussions?  If you are, this service is for you. At YBU Now we love to dive deep exchanging ideas on topics that will lift us as a collective including topics such as mindfulness, ecological ways of being, Love, trust, and living from our soulful self. These lively discussions have the potential to shift our conscienceness as we get messy and tangled up in thoughts that stretch beyond what we can think independently.  Collectively we grow. As we speak about our current beliefs and share our thoughts, be ready for change. The mind once altered never returns to its original state.

Our next groups of Gathering Places will begin in August, 2024. 

Featuring:
The Tea Party with Savannah

The YBU Now Gathering Place Tea Party is a once a month in person opportunity for locals.  This event is hosted in our home in Pekin, Illinois.  Our friend and residential expert herbalist in training, Savannah Montgomery will share the benefits of her latest brew providing us with samples while we gather and entangle our thoughts.  These scheduled one hour sessions have been known to last 2 hours depending on the depth of our discussion and exploration. 

We schedule the next session at the conclusion of each session.  Sign below to receive monthly invitations.

The Exchange?

I’m declaring that I am in a place of abundance and want you to be, too.  To me money, like time and resources, is energy.  I’d like to ask; How much energy do you want to put toward creating this growth experience? Let’s work together and find a price package that aligns.  (I’ve lived off of a teacher’s salary with the perception of scarcity for over 30 years. I get the ingrained influence of society and how stressed we can be with what we perceive as sacred money.)  Inspired by the Green Bottle Model from Worts & Conning, YBU Now Gathering Place is open to an exchange in which you pay or trade what supports you based on your personal and economic criteria along with what you want to invest into you.

 

A note on the payment plan.  I love to play with numerology.  So as we negotiate, I like to make it so that we see numbers that resonate with us.  An original initial fee of $11.11 will serve as a reminder to follow your intuition for when you see these angel numbers you know you’re on the right path.  Listen to your gut and listen to your heart and follow your inner guidance.
