Welcome to Your Miracles Group Experience!
We’re excited for you to get started in this powerful and uplifting piece of Your Year of Miracles 2023 program. While joining a Miracles Group is optional, we highly recommend it, as our members have gotten huge value from being part of a Miracles Group.
Your Miracles Group will give you tremendous support and energy in supercharging your Miracle Intentions and helping you live in the Miracle Zone this year.
Please read the sections below on Getting Started in your Miracles Group, the Miracles Group Meeting Flow and the Miracles Group Guidelines. This will help your meetings run smoothly and will guide you in cultivating a supportive journey with your fellow Miracles Group members.
Getting Started in Your Miracles Group
1. Join A Miracles Group
2. Connect With Your Specific Miracles Group
Once you’ve signed up for a group, you can scroll up to the red navigation boxes on this page and click “My Miracles Group Home Page (Zoom Info & Members).” Your Miracles Group Home Page is where the names and email addresses of your group members will be listed, along with your group’s specific Zoom meeting number.
Since this page is restricted to just your group members, you’re welcome to communicate with each other freely on this page, though we encourage you to use email for conversations of a more private nature.
Your Miracles Group will have 4 – 7 members. Based on our years of experience with these groups, we’ve found this to be the optimal number of members. Even if only 2 or 3 people attend any particular meeting, the process works just as effectively.
3. Attend Your First Miracle Group Meeting
Your group will meet every other week (virtually via Zoom) at your group’s selected day and time. Your Zoom link will be in your welcome email and on your Miracles Group Home page. (Scroll up to the red navigation boxes on this page and click “My Miracles Group Home Page (Zoom Info & Members).”
In order to stay in the group, you need to participate in at least one of the first three meetings, which will happen the weeks of February 22nd, March 6th, and March 20th. Of course, we encourage you to attend all the meetings you can!
4. Review the Miracles Group Meeting Flow and Guidelines Before You Begin
Our Miracles Group Meeting Flow and Guidelines will support you and your group in having the most seamless, effective, and fulfilling experience. Please read through the Miracle Groups Meeting Flow here and Miracle Groups Guidelines here before your first meeting.
The group facilitator will be a member of your Miracles Group and will rotate each month. (Exception: the same group facilitator can lead the first three meetings in February/March). The facilitator for the initial group meeting will be the person whose first initial of their first name comes first in alphabetical order. After that, the facilitators can continue to be rotated in alphabetical order. (Read how to facilitate a group here.)
Here are two short videos to support you in having a great experience and receiving all the benefits of your Miracles Group. We highly recommend you watch the Sample Miracles Group Meeting video before your group meets.
Sample Miracles Group Meeting: This is a demonstration of a Miracles Group Meeting with Marci, Virlane, and Valentina. (18 minutes)
[Optional] The Power of Group Intention: Marci and Dr. Sue’s interview with Lynne McTaggart, author of The Intention Experiment. In this video, Lynne shares the power of group intention. (9 minutes)
With our love,
Marci, Dr. Sue, and Lisa

Miracles Group Meeting Flow

Here is your Miracles Group meeting format. Please follow this carefully, as it’s specifically designed to give you the greatest benefit and results from your Miracles Group experience.
Each meeting, one member of your group will be the group facilitator. For the first three meetings, the facilitator will be the person in the group whose initial of their first name comes earliest in alphabetical order. Starting in April and each month that follows, your group can rotate to a new facilitator in alphabetical order based on first names. That person can lead the following two meetings and so on. When it’s your turn to be the group facilitator, please read the Miracles Group Monthly Facilitator Role pdf for directions on how to facilitate the meeting.
Each Miracles Group meeting will take 30 – 60 minutes, depending upon the number of people attending that group meeting. It will follow this four-part process:
1. Opening: Connect to each other and the energy of the Miracle Zone (3-4 minutes)
After greeting each other, the group facilitator starts the meeting by setting the energy for your time together. The group facilitator will take a few minutes to guide you in connecting to the energy of the Miracle Zone and to each other.
2. Round #1 of Shares
Each person shares their Wins or Miracles (big and small) from the past two weeks. (2 minutes per person, which is about 10–20 minutes total, depending on the number of members present.)
You may want to have your Miracles Journal handy to easily remember what you want to share.
Examples of Wins or Miracles:
“My sister, who’d refused to talk to me for over a year, called me out of the blue”
“I found a ring under my dresser that I’d lost 5 years ago”
“I started exercising 3 times a week, and I feel so much more energy”
“I feel great after cleaning out my closet and getting rid of some old things”
“I’m feeling much more love for myself, and I’m meditating almost every morning”
We encourage you to take up the full 2 minutes with your Wins and Miracles. (Please do not go over 2 minutes.)
When other group members are sharing, give them your full focus and please don’t make any comments during their share. When they’ve finished sharing, feel free to cheer and clap for them, but refrain from giving any advice or feedback.
3. Round #2 of Shares:
(2 minutes per person, which is about 10–20 minutes total, depending on the number of members present.)
For this round of shares, you’ll do the following:
– Share one actionable intention for the next two weeks:
Your two-week intention should be a specific and measurable action step. It can be something that helps you move towards one of your bigger Miracle Intentions for the year, but doesn’t have to be. Choose an intention that is doable and measurable (and not too much of a stretch) so that you’re building wins for yourself each week.
For example, if one of your 3 Miracles Intentions for the year is, “I feel healthy, vibrant and energized in my body,” your two-week intention might be:
“I exercise for at least 20 minutes 3 or more times over the next 2 weeks.”
Or, if one of your Miracles Intentions is, “I am enjoying abundant prosperity in my business as I serve amazing clients,” your two-week intention might be:
“Over the next 2 weeks, I reach out to 5 potential referral partners asking if they know anyone who might need my services.”
– Choose one of the Five Foundations (USHER) to focus on over the next two weeks. For example:
“I trust in the Universe” or “I choose where I put my energy and attention.”
After each person shares, the other members of the group supercharge that person’s intention.
The group can do this by taking 15 seconds to put their attention—from their heart with love—on that person receiving their desired outcome, or something even better. The group facilitator guides everyone in saying together aloud the following group affirmation:
“(Insert person’s name), we feel and know that your highest good is now coming to you. We hold your intention with love in our hearts and see it manifested in your life in perfect timing. We give thanks. And so it is.”
Then, continue this process with each group member.
Capture each person’s intention & foundation for the upcoming two weeks, so you can spend a minute every day giving your attention to them (supercharging them).
Here are a few suggestions about how to capture the intentions & foundations shared in each meeting.
a. Each person writes down everyone else’s intentions during the meeting. There is a space in your Miracles Journal for this (starting on page 85).
OR
b. A scribe writes them down during the meeting and emails them to group members after the meeting is over.
OR
c. Each member writes their intention and foundation on your group’s forum — your private Miracles Group Home Page. You can access the page by clicking on “My Miracles Group Home Page (Zoom Info & Members)” at the top left of this page.
NOTE: In the first meeting or two of the year, also share your theme and your 3 Miracle Intentions for the year with each other. On pages 82 – 84 of your Miracles Journal, you can write down your group members’ Miracle Intentions and theme for the year.
4. Closing: End with an inspiring quote, poem, or reading (2 – 3 minutes).
The group facilitator closes that Miracles Group meeting by sharing an inspirational quote, poem or reading. The facilitator then reminds the group of the next meeting date and the whole group can say your goodbyes to each other to end the meeting.
Optional Connection After the Meeting is Over: At the end of the group meeting, after all 4 steps are complete, if a member wants additional support, input, feedback, advice or brainstorming, they can ask other members to stay on the Zoom line. Members can decide to stay on at their own choosing.

How to Choose Your Monthly Facilitator:
Each meeting, one member of your group will be the group facilitator. For the first three meetings, the facilitator will be the person in your group whose initial of their first name comes earliest in alphabetical order. Starting in April and each month that follows, your group can rotate to a new facilitator in alphabetical order based on first names. That person can lead the following two meetings and so on.
How to Facilitate the Group:
As the group facilitator, you’ll do the following:
1. Open the meeting by setting the energy of your time together. (3–4 minutes)
You can say something like: “Let’s take a moment to connect into the greater energy of the Universe (pause for a minute). Put your hand on your heart, feel your heart and your connection to Source, and imagine us all connected in a unified field of golden light (pause for another minute). And so it is.”
2. For Round #1 of Shares, give each person 2 minutes to share their Wins and Miracles. (2 minutes per person, which is about 10–20 minutes total, depending on the number of members present.) You can say something like: “I invite each of you to share with us your Miracles and Wins (big and small) from the past two weeks,” and then call on each person, one by one. Then each person takes 2 minutes to share their Miracles and Wins (big and small) from the previous two weeks.
3. For Round #2 of Shares, give each person another 2 minutes to share their two-week intention and foundation they want to focus on for the next two weeks. (2 minutes per person, which is about 10–20 minutes total, depending on the number of members present.) To get the sharing going, you can select someone to share first and say something like: “Now, please share with us one intention you want to have for the next two weeks (it could be baby steps) and which foundation you want to lean into.”
After each person shares these, you’ll lead the group in putting attention on each person for 15 seconds and saying the group affirmation aloud to supercharge their intention:
“(Insert person’s name), we feel and know that your highest good is now coming to you. We hold your intention with love in our hearts and see it manifested in your life in perfect timing. We give thanks. And so it is.”
NOTE: During your first meeting, please also have each person share their Miracles Theme and their 3 Miracle Intentions for the year with the group. Each group member can record these on page 82 of their Miracles Journal.
4. Close the meeting with an inspiring quote, poem, or reading and remind everyone of the next group meeting date. Then, open up the meeting to everyone to say goodbye to each other. (2–3 minutes.)
As the group facilitator, you are in charge of timing. To time each round of sharing, please set your phone timer and allow the sound of the timer to indicate when the 2 minutes is over. At about 1 minute and 45 seconds, give a 15-second warning and when the 2 minutes are up, give everyone a few seconds to clap in celebration of that person’s Miracles, and then move on to the next person.
Once the time is over, the person speaking can finish their sentence, but then kindly let them know it’s time for the next person. Of course, you can make an exception if something very dramatic has happened (a death or some big health challenge, etc). Please be sensitive to that person and to the group flow.
Thank you for holding the space for your Miracles Group meeting to feel supportive and in the Miracle Zone vibration!
Miracles Group Guidelines
Click Here if you’d like the PDF of the Miracle Group Guidelines
1. Supercharge your group members’ Intentions daily.
Every day, take a moment to look at the list of your group members’ current two-week intentions. Consciously connect into your heart and put your attention on the manifestation of each person’s two-week intention. While this takes only a moment, it’s a very powerful part of the Miracles process.
2. Recognize that your Miracles Group is an energetic container (rather than a mastermind or accountability group).
The power of the Miracles Group comes from the deep energetic support of the group’s attention. While you may feel a great affinity with some members of your group, it’s not necessary to feel an affinity with everyone in your group or to get along fabulously with each other on a personality level. It’s through the power of your attention, not personality or advice, that you will supercharge each other’s intentions and help each other live in the Miracle Zone.
3. Give your focused attention (and not advice or feedback).
During the meetings, your contribution is to offer your energy and attention. Please do NOT give advice, coaching, counsel, comments, or feedback (this applies to the group facilitator, as well). These meetings are a time to listen, celebrate and energetically support—not a time to give advice or input. This is very important. After a person shares their Wins or Miracles, you can offer a big “Yay” or “Way to go” or applause. If someone wants additional support, feedback, or advice, they can ask members to stay on after the meeting is over. Members who choose to can stay on the Zoom line for that conversation.
4. Share your Wins, Miracles and Two-Week Intentions in the positive.
When sharing your Wins and Miracles, please share them specifically—not the old “back story” of what hasn’t worked in the past or what isn’t working now. When stating your two-week intentions, remember to use positive words and images. For example, instead of saying, “I don’t want any more debt from my car,” you would say, “I’ve fully paid off my car loan.” You want to invoke positive images and feelings with your intentions.
5. Be respectful of the time.
Each person has 2 minutes to share their Wins and Miracles from the prior 2 weeks and 2 minutes to share their two-week intention and foundation for the upcoming 2 weeks. Please stick to this format and don’t take up more time. Of course, you can make an exception if something very dramatic has happened (a death or some big health challenge, etc). Please be sensitive to that person and to the group flow.
We’ve intentionally designed this specific format as it’s been found to be most effective. Please put the meetings in your calendar, be on time, and give them your full presence and attention. Treat your Miracles Group meetings as an important gift you’re giving yourself for living in the Miracle Zone—because it is.
6. Keep what happens in the group confidential.
Everything that is said during the Miracles Group meeting is to be kept completely confidential. This is very important for allowing openness and trust within the group.
7. Meet every other week via Zoom video.
We encourage you to attend all the meetings you can! In order to stay in the group, you need to participate in at least one of the first three meetings which happen the weeks of February 20th, March 6th, and March 20th. To maintain the continuity of the group, if you will be missing a meeting, please let your group know in advance.
Year after year, we’ve seen how Miracles Groups are a supportive part of your Miracles Journey. If, for any reason, you’re in a situation where you can’t continue attending, please notify the YOM Team and the other members of your group as a common courtesy.
8. Support the group facilitator with your presence and participation as they guide the meeting.
The group facilitator’s role is to guide the flow of the meeting, time each person’s sharing, and support the group in following the Miracles Group guidelines. You can help your group facilitator by being respectful of time and completing your shares within each allotted 2 minutes. Please be appreciative of your group facilitator as they’re making a valuable contribution so your Miracles Group meeting runs in a smooth and supportive way.
