Dear Nueva Alma Social members,
I hope this message finds you well and thriving. I want to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for being a part of our wonderful community since we began in 2019. Over the years, we have shared countless moments of growth, healing, and connection, and it has truly been a joy to support each of you on your journey.
Today, I am reaching out to share some important news regarding my platform. After much reflection, I have decided to transition our community to a paid membership model, effective November 1st. This decision was not made lightly, and I want to explain the reasons behind it.
Why the Change?
Sustainability: As many of you know, when we relocated to Puerto Rico, the anticipation was to retire, but I have been working (mainly virtually). So, outside of retreats or trainings that only occur several times a year, this community will now be my main source of income. To continue providing daily morning meditations, resources, and support, I can no longer offer these services for free. The membership fee of $19.99 per month equates to just $0.665 a day—less than the cost of a cup of coffee.
Enhanced Community Engagement: While we've had many members, some have become inactive. This transition will help us cultivate a dedicated group of individuals who genuinely want to be here and engage with one another and personally grow. I have lots of programs, workshops, and group life coaching I would like to offer to an active crowd.
Exclusive Offerings: As a paid member, you'll enjoy daily morning meditations, weekly reflections, group discussions, virtual yoga classes, events and workshops. The upgraded Sacred Pause community will be now be reserved for special programs throughout the year, allowing you to choose when to upgrade to participate or not.
Prioritizing Your Privacy: The influx of SPAMmers on our free platform has raised privacy concerns. By moving to a paid model, we will create a safer, more secure environment for everyone.
A Thriving Bilingual Sisterhood: My vision is to rebuild this community into a vibrant sanctuary for holistic education and wellness. Together, we can foster a safe space for healing and connection among like-minded women in both English and Spanish. My vision is that we become that beautiful bridge of cultural exchanges and discussions for support for one another as a village of women that reaches globally.
What’s Next?
I am committed to making this transition as smooth as possible for all of you. If you choose to remain with us, I am excited to continue this journey together! For those who feel this is the right time to explore other options, I completely understand and appreciate the time we've spent together.
The transition will occur over the next two weeks, and I encourage you to sign up as a paid member to continue benefiting from our community’s offerings. I am still working with my team to see how to run the membership platform (here or via a third party). Remember, this is not just a membership; it’s an investment in your personal growth and well-being.
Thank you for being a part of this journey. I am incredibly grateful for each of you, and I look forward to the next chapter of our community as we move into 2026.
With love and gratitude,
Erica
