The Power of Community: Why It’s at the Heart of My Teaching Practice

Every person, every teacher, carries their own intention:

A quiet (or loud!) calling that pulls them toward the work they do. A reason why they guide, why they hold space, why they show up to learn alongside others.

For me, the calling was always clear:

To create community.

A place of belonging. A space where you feel held and common humanity is a given.

Where safety feels natural to be fully who you are.

They are all basic human needs.

Because when you feel safe and seen, that’s when you begin to soften, realise, feel, surrender, let go, and eventually grow+ create.

That first awkwardness entering a space by yourself? It turns into giggles and collective empowerment.

Shyness and self- doubt transforms into unshakable self-belief.

And suddenly, we’re not just individuals, we’re a community rising together, laughing together, learning from each other. Empowering each other to continue.

That’s why community isn’t just a buzzword in my world, it’s a core teaching value, actually THE number one. You’ll feel it woven through my retreats, in every class I teach, and in the online spaces I nurture.

In Human Design, I’m a 4/6 profile , "the natural community builder", here to nourish and lift the people around me.

And when I found that out, everything clicked💥

I stopped tiptoeing and started fully owning my path with a lot of passion and heart- energy. Creating communities wherever I go😉 I am very excited to build COMMUNITY with OCA, as community is one of the many values that has brought us together 💚.

How about yourself? Do you prefer flying solo or have you found your community already?

If you are a teacher: Have you found your core values yet?
