 Hello beautiful souls. This is Ono with Art of Awakening. If you have been following it for a while, I did have a name change there. I've announced that in a previous video, but welcome so much and Welcome back. Welcome. If you're new to the channel, it's great to have you here and today I'm really really excited to have a special guest here Her name is Deborah Frou and she is the founder of the Worldwide Metaphysical Tribe and she's also a business coach for metaphysicians, a tarot teacher, and a very talented reader Welcome Deb. Hi, thank you very much. Yeah, I'm just going to introduce you a little bit because you've got a fascinating story and then we'll talk a little bit about An upcoming event that you've got the Worldwide Metaphysical Tribe Bonfire Gathering. So Deb Frou grew up in the Chicago suburbs She's the second of seven children and the daughter of Marion Thompson who was the founder of La Leche League International and Clement Thompson, the leader of a research group that invented the first remote control Deb learned to read the tarot in 1986 and since then she's traveled the world helping others on their quests using the guidance of the cards In 1993 she interviewed the heads of many of the world's religions for a documentary film commemorating the 100th anniversary of the original parliament of the world's religions at the columbian exposition in chicago in 1893 And there it was that she realized that all roads that are committed to with honesty and kindness at their core lead to the deep spiritual connection that we all crave and that everyone is always on the path In 2014 Deb founded the Worldwide Metaphysical Tribe which is an annual gathering of professional metaphysicians and alternative practitioners Dedicated to working together and promoting each other in cooperation That competition Deb lives on a log cabin on a lake in the forest a few hours outside chicago with her husband and I am just so thrilled to have you here and just to kind of Give people the background I met Deb last year because Of mutual friend of ours suggested that I might be interested in coming to the Metaphysical Tribe And so I did it was quite a haul for me. It was about seven hours Traveled down there and it was wonderful when I got there and it was just a really really supportive group Just You know just interesting people of very High vibe There were some speakers and some entertainment, but really it was just really about coming together And it really meshed with what I've been getting lately from spirit for the past few years. I keep getting this message Lightworkers need to come together and they need to come together in person It just feels like that's really the next step There's I'm just feeling really strong this call for lightworkers to unite to start coming together in person and to start really grounding what we do locally as well as You know individually and as well as virtually So the local presence I'm I'm feeling is really important And I know that you agree with me Deb because of what you're doing So I just I just want to ask you where did this idea come from for this like networking event? Well, actually it's kind of a crazy story and I'm going to start in the middle because otherwise it would take up our entire time But it was one of many Coincidences that were raining down on me at one particular time Um living out here in a log cabin on a lake in the woods. I was getting really burned out and so I joined up with this group through a series of crazy events But they're far away from me. They're an hour and a half ride and Once I got there and I felt their community I quickly became friends with a lot of people there. Well most of the people who come to this Center called the Gathering Lighthouse and it's in Lombard, Illinois Most of these people are psychics of some stripe and metaphysicians of some kind and so I decided that you know Everybody should come out and just chill in the country and we would have a big bonfire party at my house And that was the plan for the first two years But after this for after the first two years were finished Uh the third year I realized that there was something bigger going on than just having a party And I couldn't quite put my finger on it. Um And then one day it hit me that There's networking for all the astrologers can go to their thing and all the tarot people can go to their millions of Meetings and and conclades and so forth and and that's good because it helps you in your particular modality, but where do we all come together? I feel that We've been kind of brainwashed into thinking that we should be competing and And and really that's not what's What that's not why we're here We can't no one person can do it alone. Exactly. Yeah, I feel that the the world is getting ready to turn to us and say, you know What do you think and and my My fear is that you know when that curtain goes down that They'll see us saying things like Oh, well, you're too famous or you do it wrong or you charge too much money or You know all of these crazy competitive things which have nothing to do with anything They certainly are not going to bring the shift right and so To me it's cooperation if you want the shift if you've been Feeling the shift coming and you really want to now step into it cooperation is the way to go and You know, I I started this because I had friends in different modalities who accepted each other Yeah, and I felt that this was my core group And they have spread that lovely infection to everybody who comes because They just accept everyone and then everyone else accepts everyone and we learn so much from each other And there's so much that we can do together that we can't do by ourselves. That is so Absolutely true and this really is this is business in the 5d This is you know, we're not out to cut each other's throats We're out to build something new and beautiful In the world and we can do it together. We can collaborate even though like, you know, the old way was Oh, you know, we're all competing because we have very similar offerings, but it's like When you hit this more 5d, it's like Everybody has their own different take on it and we're going to attract the clients that are right for us spirits going to send us What we need in business is anything else and the more we collaborate the more we come together We can really build a lot of opportunity And you know, I I see that happening in in you know, the event that you put on last year It was just like all these ideas bubbling up and Ways to come together and create things that really are benefit everybody absolutely, um You know a long time ago. I read a book called long tail marketing and Now people understand it back then it was a new concept and what long tail marketing is is that Instead of trying to be IBM where everybody used to use IBM not would be microsoft or google Or instead of trying to be Kleenex where everybody buys Kleenex, you know, but you don't buy the there is no other brand, you know I mean right, you know things of In fact, it's so ubiquitous that we call everything that fits that description as Kleenex, you know Instead of trying to be that What we should do is find out who is exactly our market Who is the people that want to hear from us? Because the people who want to hear from me are not necessarily the people who want to hear from you And there is so much to go around and every time I feel like I need to maybe bring in a little more business. I niche myself down down down down Which not only pops up all the people that are meant to talk to me But it frees up everybody else to go talk to you and everyone else who's doing it. That's right Yes And the funny thing is it's like even if we are you know, we do have the same target people What i've noticed with the work that we're doing is like We can like we can we could probably bounce clients back and forth because I do a little business coaching too and it's like And they're going to get some from you know things from you and some things for me Even if it's the very same clients and I'm seeing the clients that I work with they're working with a lot of other people too And it's like I know I do that. So yeah, it's like there's there's no sense in competition So one of the things that I really enjoy that has come out of the worldwide metaphysical tribe networking event is This great Deep bed of referrals that are available. For example I've been reading tarot for 33 years professionally and someone will come up to me and say hey, I heard you're really good I want like reading from you What I'm really interested in is trying to figure out when I should start voss and so And I'll just say to them. You know what? You don't want a tarot reader you want an astrologer an astrologer can really nail that down for you and I happen to know a lot of astrologers now, so How about I give you a few referrals and you know, you can tell them that I sent you if you like, but basically You know, this is this is what you should be doing. You shouldn't be talking to me And it's wonderful for me to be able to help people people who need body work I don't do body work But I know a million people who do body work now and so I can send them What kind of body work do you need what kind of problem? Here's some people that you should run that by and see if you know, they can help you And that's really it's beautiful because it's like it's really client centered. It's like Yes, it's up in the person, right? It's really your yeah, that's It's it's very personalized And and it's because we're meeting each other face to face If we aren't meeting each other face to face We're not getting that depth of Knowledge about each other and just that feeling of being together and really understanding what you're hearing from the other person So, you know to me, that's that's one of my favorite things. I'm a connector And I really get happy when I can connect people Beautiful Beautiful. Well, tell me about okay that the worldwide metaphysical tribe. It is august 10th. Yes Franklin Grove, Illinois Yes, and um, tell me about who Who would benefit from going what kind of participants would really get a lot out of attending? Well, it's interesting because we serve everyone I have Of course my speakers which have all been in the business forever One of them our first speaker is Dawn silver. She's from the chicagoland area. She's a well known I met her as an astrologer, but she's a naturopath. She's an astrologer. She's um She's a crystal healer now. Here's something. I know nothing about And so I'm excited to take her class because or attend her talk because You know christie, I love crystals. I have them everywhere But is I'm too analytical is my smoky quartz really taking all of the negative energy out of the room Is my citrine really bringing me abundance? I'm way too analytical for this So I want to speak to somebody who the name of her talk is The cosmic origins of crystal healing now come on. She's got my attention I can't wait. We also have a crystal dealer coming who's going to have all the crystals that she talks about so that If you're interested then you can get the ones that refer to you Right. Our second speaker is uh gene kuhn. She's a business coach You know I I'm sorry to say this, but it's a true fact that people who are very right brain oriented like we are tend to be allergic to bookkeeping urging Taxes spreadsheets. We just don't like that stuff and uh gene is great for getting you Sort of vaulting you into being in business instead of just doing this as a hobby Something that you do on the side She the name of her talk is how to make money fast And that's what she's good at and and there's a lot of soul perners that I know that go to her And so I can't wait. I'm she's very dynamic. I cannot wait to to hear her tips Our keynote speaker is janet barris. She's known all over the world. She's um a noted terrorist and astrologer who she kind of invented the The whole conference thing in 1995. I think she held her first conference called The world tarot congress Over the three times that she held it She had people from 42 states and 10 countries So every famous tarot person you've heard of came And it was quite the bash now. I didn't attend it Because I didn't know what was happening, but I've looked back through the history of it online and I wish I had been there And she's talking about cooperation not competition. So that's he's she brings it all home for us So we have this level of participant Then we have people that you know have been in it for years And new ideas are just what you need, you know, when when you've been in for years and years new ideas are are just like like gold and so Our veteran readers and healers are all going to be able to benefit from that. We have people who are new at it Um, and then we have people I have invited a few people who actually Have just awakened to their Gifts And they need context And I think this is good context Because they will feel their community and they will see how The community works at its best. So this is very exciting to me I'm I'm super excited that some of these people are coming because um They I have spoken with them in private, you know, gone to their homes and talked to them about What's ahead for them? You know, it's not not in a predictive way But you know, what the what it's like to have this gift and what do you do about it? And so now to have an entire 125 people To support you is just what they need. So so that's who we have coming Absolutely and that like From my perspective is one of the one of the biggest reasons to start coming together personally in groups is that we Activate each other we awaken each other and I'm just kind of feeling like there are there's a new whole new wave of people Either just starting to awaken about to awaken And that when we start coming together Physically locally that just that activates that energy and it's really going to assist in this whole process globally worldwide So absolutely. So what are some of the positive outcomes that you found from From hosting this event either you personally or that you've heard from attendees after the fact Well, I'm telling you the the testimonials blow me away because you never know What's people are really thinking or experiencing until they Take the time to write it down and tell you and I have some of these sprinkled on the webpage at internal wilderness dot com This is where you would sign up to start the whole process of coming to the event And uh at internal wilderness dot com There are i've sprinkled a few of these wonderful testimonials in that just make me feel so good that I I did it You know, I got what I was aiming for I'm gonna show people the the page if you don't mind. Um, just kind of oh, absolutely. There we go That's what that's what the page looks like. So There if you if you google worldwide metaphysical tribe, it'll come up right right right and there's a mailing list that you get on and then When you sign up on this mailing list, you'll immediately get links to tickets and more information and so forth But this is a picture from last year This year we have a drone coming. So we're going to take some area Oh fun. Oh, that's cool. Um Yeah, awesome. So yeah, I know personally this has really been inspiring for me to attend because I I have a local group that I had Actually started the year before and really had a bunch of life changes didn't really do anything with it And I really had this big like fear. It's like oh, it was like Scary I was like, you know, I wanted to start it But it was like I I can't do this and then after it was after I went down to your event that I finally was like I gotta do this So you were a real inspiration for me In starting that and this is spring boarding Into something global because I'm realizing that this is something that really There's a there's a desire for I kind of mentioned it on youtube just last week and I got all these requests for oh You know, can you can you help us? Can you give this instructions for how to do it? So I will be posting those instructions of you know, just Based constructions for starting a local group. I'll I'll leave that link below But your event and what you're doing really really was an inspiration for that So I noticed I noticed after the event that you just blossomed. Oh, yes And that's what I mean by energizing and activating each other. I mean really absolutely you were having Just great turnout and I was so amazed I was just happy that you know, you were you were having so much success there because There's you know, it's funny you get together in a group like this and nobody wants to go home, right? Yeah You're supposed to the bonfire and some people put the bonfire because there's there was a fire at the end Literally and we all sat around the fire and we're looking at the stars and looking for meteors. It was pretty cool Well, that's how this started This started around a bonfire with a Ouija board cake and we were doing readings for each other And watching the Perseid meteors fly overhead and that's how it all started Uh-huh. That's beautiful. And there's that connection with the star tribes, right? Absolutely very cool. All right.
