Understanding Your Archetype

Goddesses of Community and Friendship love people, and people love them. Positive, good-natured, and kind, they are social butterflies and the heart of the party. They have a lust for life and know how to get along with everyone and, more importantly, how to forge strong bonds. They tap easily into the spirit of love that unites us all, transcending our differences to bring people together. They make connections everywhere they go, and their friends frequently turn to them for support.
Community Goddesses are self-actualized and empowered, making them natural leaders, and they are often at the forefront of social change. They build movements with their vision, courage, and determination, pointing us toward a model for society where ALL life is valued equally. Their optimism and inner vibrancy generates energy and inspiration in others, reminding us that we can achieve anything when we lead with our hearts.
