Introverts Unite to Create Magic!

 Deep Magic is a Group for Introverts, HSP’s, INF’s, and anyone who wants to do inner work IN a group
without being overwhelmed BY the group

As a highly sensitive person, an introvert, and an INFP — with exiles who are a 9 on the Enneagram —
I struggle with the desire to connect in safe ways.

I know I’m not alone in my desire to be connected on my terms:
slowed-down, careful, kind, and spacious

I’ve decided to give myself permission to create the kind of groups that work for ME, and to use myself as the tuning fork to guide each group’s initial configuration. If it has the right resonance, I’ll feel it in my body.

The way the groups are organized is a result of this process of attunement.
These groups are NOT for everyone!

They’re for that little slice of the people pie who are
the quiet, the inward, the inquisitive, the mindful
the quirky, the nerdy, the dorky, the silly
the humble, the down-to-earth
the seekers

who are often solitary, but who would not mind to be accompanied by their fellow path walkers
walking alongside, gently and unobtrusively

Only 3 or 4 People per Group

The smaller the group, the more bandwidth I have for truly attuning to each person. I know I’m not alone in this. While I love being enriched in groups — by what other people share from their own uniqueness — there comes a point where I can become over-saturated.

When a group is larger, the sharing time is necessarily truncated, so I don’t get a deep immersion in the process of each person. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve gravitated towards smaller and smaller groups of more energetically-matched people with whom to do my inner work.

The smallness feels safer. It allows deeper intimacy. It offers space to experience a few people more deeply, instead of experiencing many people less fully.

For all these reasons, the Deep Magic group has a maximum of four people per group.

In groups where I am a participant, that means only two other people (besides me) in a three person group,
and only three other people (besides me) in a four person group.

In groups where I’m a participant, that means that you will always know one of the participants in the group.
At most your parts will only have one or two other ‘strangers’ to adjust to.

My Full Participation as an option for the group

After the first group of 2023, I received this feedback: “Melissa, it feels like your participation is necessary for this group to work. If you were only ‘holding space,’ but not also sharing, it would feel incomplete. Us being totally vulnerable and present, and then you not meeting us in that, would feel wrong. It would feel like 50% of the energy of the group was missing. So I strongly agree with your decision to be an active participant in the group.”

One of my goals as a modern-day mystic is to humbly offer my life, and who I am,
as an element of my teaching —
to ‘teach’ by being.

My wish is that by participating, I can offer an example of how to use the techniques,
while also adding to the high-level energetic vibration of the group processing.

My wish is also that by participating, I add to the safety of the group by modeling and embodying Self-led engagement with each round of the Deep Magic process.

I’m aware of the delicate balance of both being in the group and holding the container for the group, and always open to feedback if unbalance occurs.

After evolving the group for most of 2023, I’ve decided I feel comfortable offering the option of groups WITH me as a participant and WITHOUT me as a participant. So it is a choice that I offer.

Gender

Choice — your choice to have a mixed-gender or single-gender group.

Curation

Each group will be designed by me, initially, to match people together in a way that feels resonant. We’ll try one group, and then I’ll get individual feedback from each person about their feeling of safety and resonance with the other group members.

I invite everyone to give themselves full permission to say yes or no to the group configuration, and to the group!

Like a wave in the ocean, this group is just one surge of support possible in the sea of the world. I’ll do my part to create the offering and to curate the groups as carefully as I can; you’ll do your part to be honest about whether the configuration, or even the group process, works for you.

Why a Phone Group

It may not need to be explained, because introverts just know…
but a phone support / coaching group has so many deluxe and juicy perks.

You can lay down on the most comfortable couch or bed or cozy up in your yummiest chair.
You can close your eyes and go deeply inside — whenever, or throughout the entire journey.
The benefits of group support from the comfort of home WITHOUT more screen time.
Zoom fatigue is real! The phone is a delightful escape from Zoom. No little squares.
An antidote to any caretaking or people-pleasing tendencies when in a group.
No being distracted by a strange look or what other people are doing.
Easier to both journal and fully participate, if you love to journal.
No need to be presentable.

For folks who feel safer or more connected visually, Zoom groups are also an option.

Investment

To preserve availability, all my individual coaching and groups are offered in a tiered-rate structure.
When one tier fills, the next coaching slot or group is offered at the next tier.
