Since its inception in 1986, Global Family has encouraged groups all over the world to come together and create spiritual family through the Core Group Process. These meetings provide a loving, safe space for personal growth, spiritual exploration, social cooperation, and community building. The process supports individuals to find their true partners and actualize their deepest calling through joint projects and entrepreneurial ventures.

The foundation of all Global Family work is group resonance and open-heartedness. For, as we believe in our hearts, so it is done. When we connect with others at the heart, the universal force of creation works through us to guide us to our perfect place of service. When we align our energies heart to heart, an invisible field of union, oneness, and creativity is born. We call this resonance.

Resonance is the heart of the Core Group Process. It is the way to birth and nurture the culture we choose. It occurs only in a field of love, trust, unconditional acceptance and mutual support and is born and nurtured in “safe spaces.” Resonance disappears in the face of judgment, criticism, tension, and animosity. We start with self-love and the unconditional love that is freely given by Spirit. Accepting this love is accepting that one is blessed and worthy of such love. It does not depend on other people; it does not depend on what we do, or on our daily successes and failures. If we judge or condemn ourselves, we are denying the worth of the Creator and the creation of which we are a part.

Resonance comes from intention, attention, telling the truth, and connecting center to center. Practices such as meditation, yoga, prayer, chanting, song, dance, silence, mindful speech, and conscious movement allow us to attune to higher vibrational frequencies. When we are in our centers, experiencing the Essential Self, we are in resonance with all that is—and we attract resonance into our lives.

We learn to cultivate this energy consciously until it becomes a natural way of being. We intensify our practice by connecting heart to heart in Resonant Core Groups, bonded by our passion to release the highest potential in each individual to be the Self.

When the field of resonance is built, we feel lighter. The body seems less dense as we move to a higher energy frequency. Emotional and physical healing occur spontaneously as love opens the cells of the body, releasing the contractions of anxiety and dis-ease. Boundaries between us dissolve. The Co-creative Self rises up and comes forth. It is magnetized into the light of day by the field of love. A vibrating frequency, a harmonic, blends our energies into a common chord. An aura of euphoria permeates us. The heart opens and fills with love and joy.

In our groups, we practice loving our neighbors as ourselves and each other as co-creators. If we love ourselves as creations of the Divine, we can easily love another in the same way. Loving our own gifts, we can appreciate the gifts that others have to offer. Joyfully, we join together for the conscious evolution of ourselves in an accepting world.

When we connect with others at the heart, we take a quantum leap beyond the capacities of individuals alone. Social synergy results, creating a whole greater than the sum of its parts. We experience total alignment. We experience a jump in consciousness, freedom, and creativity. We experience that we are one.

Maintaining group resonance is a delicate act of orchestration requiring sensitivity, trust, and the highest integrity. It cannot be forced, but is an act of both personal and collective will. A successful Core Group is a sacred space that embraces diversity, brings forth individuality
