For us as a family, with all that has been going on, particularly with the disturbing mix of distraction that the mainstream is constantly trying to capture our attention with, we have been focusing all our efforts and attentions into our own personal growth. We have been working on our own coherence, inner and familial. This, we feel, is the way that we can be most effective in affecting the change we want to see in the world.
This meant changing course. We had to accept and be at peace with the fact that we would not be able to run our At Home In the World Family Retreats in the USA and Transylvania in 2020, nor since, take part in the conferences and summits at which we were invited to speak. This also meant that for the last few years we have had to forgo the better part of our family income. However, we decided to approach this challenge together as a family and asked a vital question: What is it that we need to see that we are not seeing now?
With the time we had on our hands, we chose not to invest ourselves in following the news or subscribing to the fear of the media. Instead, we savoured this time with our ageing parents/our children's grandparents and basked in the simplicity of our lives together. All we needed was each other.
When we did make space to look within and contemplate our question of what it was we weren't seeing, interestingly, another question presented itself: How can we translate the value of what we as a family have gained on our journey over the last 14 years, into a realisation for families around the world, so that they don't have to go back to accepting someone else's vision for their life, nor live an unfulfilling Groundhog Day any longer.
This was the spark for the inspiration we needed to act, to crystallise the essence of what we have shared in our At Home In the World Family Retreats, and translate it into a place where all seeking families from around the world could come daily to gather and be enriched by the wealth of knowledge, wisdom and community that such a space could provide. Thus, Museley was born! We knew that by asking the difficult questions of ourselves, developing our inner coherence, following the guidance of that intuitive voice within and directing our energies into working with families, that we too would be taking the next step in the evolution of our own family's development, in symbiosis with yours.
We had already seen first hand when we worked with other equally inspired and motivated families in our previous retreats, that our lives became linked, our stories created new stories, ventures, even businesses that are continuing to change ours and other families lives throughout the world. We know now that getting the chance to work with your family will consciously create a resonant network of coherence, and set in motion a change of course that no matter how small, will inexorably change the shape and flow of the world in which we live.
We feel now more than ever, it is critical for families to ask their own vital questions that go to the very core of challenging their existing lives. When we are prepared to ask the challenging questions, we break free of the repetitive patterns that we have allowed to take hold on our lives. We step out of the games and narratives others have created for us and just like Phil Connors in Groundhog Day, we make a different choice and suddenly we are the ones writing and shaping the narratives of our own stories. This is the first step to living a coherent, cohesive and free life with your family!
