SADNESS CLUB
The purpose of Sadness Club is to learn how to consciously experience your sadness, utilise its connective - and cleansing - energy and information, so you can navigate to the deepest grounds of your worlds and be reborn over and over again for to be vibrantly living in the fields of Connection and Compassion.
Modern culture holds opportunities to feel your sadess very narrow. It tries to convince us that sadness is a sign of weakness, especially for men. And that women, who are sad (usually all the time), are as themselves too much and complicated. This creates narrowness and a never-ending competition of strenght. Bottom line - if you are sad you better be alone! That exactly this might cause the lack of connection and togetherness that many people suffer and try to fill with enormous efforts of neurotic consumption is neglected. The incapacity to grief and to be fully compassionate about the aliveness of live is the outcome of the unconscious abandonment of sadness.
A dry world needs to be watered with your tears by regaining the ability to let go of Relationships, Dreams, Things, Ideals, Moments, Fictions, Jobs, Decisions, Friends, Loved Ones, Survival Strategies and Identities of ones self. Your sadness has the power to connect you with reality and widen the space that your being lovingly occupies.
Without consciously feeling and navigating your sadness things stay drouth and dry and people can only move in the narrow channels of their crippled ability for Compassion.
Sadness Clubs are extremely safe learning environments allowing you to reconnect to the adult and archetypal power and intelligence of sadness.
Sadness Club is not about healing your sadness, make it go away, or trying to diminuish it.
Sadness Club is about developing the inner energetic resilience to experience the distinction between emotional sadness and pure feeling of sadness.
With this Distinction operating in real time, you can use your emotional sadness as a gateway to an emotional healing process, and you can access your unmixed conscious sadess and use it:
To be connected and feel your heart;
To be in reality;
To let go;
To be present with what is;
To create something out of your longing;
To be sensitive of what needs to be handled and spoken;
To stay tenderly connected with everything while being focused one thing;
To care about your Gaia, your world, your surroundings, your familiy, your space, ...
To navigate out of your comfort zone;
To notice if you are vulnerable;
To notice if you are getting closer with each other;
To notice if anyone is incomplete;
To notice if something incomplete;
To scan for where the flow wants to take you;
To listen to the water, to the rivers, to the animals, the trees and to the room;
To increase your sensitivity;
To create more Aliveness;
To hold space;
To discover new ways, new moves, new possibilities, new parts of you and new parts of others;
To be an archetypal Lover and create real heart-touching worlds;
To create genuine Intimacy and Love;
To continuously invent your relating with others;
To invent your life;
To discover your Lineage as a Sadness Club Spaceholder.
In other words, to discover the Lover, the Mother, the Father, the Caretaker, the in you.
Sadness signals you when you are with or without the intimacy that is held by Life around you..it brings you right back into the present moment of stillness and yet movement.
In order to allow that indigenous energy to come forward, to be born, there is a lot of cleansing to be done. It is perhaps not surprising to see that the modern world is experiencing drouth. The dryness of the realm might be a reflection of the increasing drouth of the psyche of a culture.
There won't be a moses or some kind of messiah (...) to sprinkle the water of cleansing. It will have to come from the very ground. It will have to come from the people who have heard the call from the other world and who want to do somehting about it. My sense is, that we are it. So what are we gonna do to cleanse?'
- Malidoma Somé
We are made real and tangible by the experience of sorrow, adding substance and weight to our world. (..) In truth, without some familiarity with sorrow, we do not mature as men and women. It is the broken heart, the heart that knows sorrow that is also capable of genuine love.
- Francis Weller
Working With Sadness
Working with Sadness
No other sphere and feeling is so deeply in love with the two siblings of Life and Death as sadness. Where Life ends, it begins. The never ending cycle does each transition within the embracing hands of sadness. Between the gentle touch and lacerating tear of sadness, the heart of Life beats. When there is no sadness there is no Life.
Sadness Club is different from Fear Club and Rage Club. It's territory centers in Connection, reset, letting go, and learning how to grieve.
For the Sadness Club to work the door of falling into the midst of yourself is taken everytime anew in any moment. It's a space full of beginnings and endings. At the end of the Sadness Club, the sadness explorers are different beings, closer through their journey, enriched by having found the door to an incredible source of Life (and Death).

Radical Survival vs Radical Relating
Daily Experiment: Say Hello to Your Sadness
Your 5 bodies change when you discover new possibilities while experimenting!
1Lower your Numbness Bar.
Decide to sit down for 5 minutes with your Beep! book and a stone every day for 30 days.
2Hello sadness, what do you have for me?
Each day pick the sadness stone, lower your Numbness Bar and ask out loud: "hello, sadness, what do you have for me?"
Wait and listen to your fear. Write down what comes.
Then ask again: "what else do you have for me, fear?" and write it all down.
Do this until you have nothing more from your fear or until the 5minutes are up. Then say thank you to your sadness for giving you so much clear information. Close the space.
3You sadness does not decide. You decide.
Then look at your list of fears. Check out which fears are both possible and probable. Then decide what wise action you can take in order to take care of the situation. Thank you sadness again.
4Ask for Emotional Healing Processes.
If some of the sadness are emotional fears not from your small now, ask someone in your Possibility Team or a Possibility Coach to take you through an Emotional Healing Process, so you can liberate the emotional energy from the past and be more available to the present and to your Archetypal sadness.

It is a doorway to experiments that upgrade your thoughtware so you can relocate your point of origin and create more possibility. Your knowledge is what you think about. Your thoughtware is what you use to think with. When you change your thoughtware, you go through a liquid state as your mind reorganizes itself. Liquid states can bring up transformational feelings and emotions. By upgrading your thoughtware you build matrix to hold more consciousness and leave behind a low drama life of reactivity. No one can upgrade your thoughtware for you. More interestingly, no one can stop you from upgrading your thoughtware. Our theory is that when we collectively build 1,000,000 new Matrix Points we will change the morphogenetic field of the human race for the better. Please choose responsibly to read this website.
