There is a certain type of fear deep inside of your heart and as soon you release it, you become physically and spiritually free.

[@hotstepper8420]

I don't sense fear, just a feeling that she is slightly off her inner path.

[@laurelyspice]

As a person that was born in Grenada and lived in St. Patricks i'd say there is more of a community feel there. The city can be a bit isolating, people keep to themselves. I think your kids will love it as well. Always a lot of other kids to play with. I feel you the country life is more of an authentic Grenadian experience.

[@473vybzgrenada9]

i made the move from london also in 2010, not to a gated community but to my family home that was left empty for over 10 years, i was in my late 40,s and can say i have not regretted it for one day, i now live and work on the island of grenada in an old house on the beach in marquis st andrew,s. i left behind my grown up children and beautiful grandchildren, but also stressful work life poor health and a restless spirit. i have gained balance that i did not have before. life has its ups and downs but i am glad that i did it when i did. thank you for you inspiring channel its good to know that others are following their calling for a better balanced way of life, with all it comes with

[@ExodusCollective]

Nice to hear from someone not living in St George's 😁! I'm so glad to hear you've found a sense of balance in Grenada. It would be great to connect.

[@karenetavares1285]

Can't wait, I hope I meet you 🙂

[@aseeyahrhinesmith1413]

I am 65 years old and I have realized that for me having a connection to nature is always the way. Just moving out of the US and re-creating what I have here is not fulfilling. I just watched a woman named maroon goddess who bought land in Jamaica and is living off grid reconnecting with mama Earth. I think if I was younger this is what I would do. Anyway keep the videos coming, ask the universe what to do next and above all be open and listen.

[@ExodusCollective]

Thanks Asseyah! Yes, I've come across the Maroon Goddess too - she's amazing!

[@PhoenixRising2018]

I appreciate your authenticity about your journey in Grenada. I am interested in learning about the challenges as well as the positive aspects your move. I really admire that you made the decision to relocate your family. I am 60, in the USA and wish I had followed the pull in my heart to leave years ago. Now my plan is to go to a island and stay for a couple months a year (maybe more). Not as a vacation but to really get to know myself and the country. I look forward to going deeper with your new content. Thanks for being honest and real!

[@ExodusCollective]

Thanks, it means a lot to hear that folks sometimes find this content useful! Your plan to spend a few months each year on an island is a great one - lots of folks spend only the winter months in Grenada and go back home for the summer. Do you have a shortlist of islands you're looking at?

[@PhoenixRising2018]

@@ExodusCollective I have considered St. Kitts. I've been there a couple of times. During one of your live videos I asked about short term apt rental. I've been in contact with someone there just to get info. I went to Costa Rica in November. I'll be going back in May. And you have me thinking about Grenada😆. At this point I'm exploring to get a feel for places. I did feel a kind of grounding in St. Kitts, but I'd like to visit a few other places first. My soul has never felt completely felt solid here. I have always been aware of that but fears and doubt always crept in during younger years. And, YES, the winters here are more brutal on my body. If I make it Grenada I'll let you know!😊

[@shirleysinclair4566]

Hi Luv, I'm in a similar situation, and would visit Jamaica during the winter for 3 months a year.. I'm Grenadian and my husband is Jamaican and we have a house in Jamaica.. my dad lives in Grenada and we currently live in Canada but grew up in the UK.. yes my situation is complicated ha ha 🤣🤣. But I love your tenacity.. I just discovered your utube platform.. It's addictive..💕

[@ExodusCollective]

@@shirleysinclair4566 so many options to choose from... I think you should go with Greenz though 😁. Thanks for the kind feedback too!

[@NYSTyl]

@@PhoenixRising2018 I’m thinking about Saint Kitts as well never been tho can you tell me what you liked about it and why I should go?

[@GG-rk1bu]

100% agreed Zoe! Recent events have shown me that I need to let go of my previous assumptions about what life should look like, and trust in the process a bit more. Part of that trust is going for what I really want, which is to grow my own food, and live a more environmentally sustainable, simpler life. It's definitely scary because like you I have grown up in London, but I've been feeling myself growing more complacent and dreaming of returning to the Caribbean to live my truth. I'm struggling with letting go of some of the ties that bind me to the UK, and the financial aspects of moving. Nevertheless I'm determined this is the right path for me. Thank you for sharing your journey, and showing us what's possible.

[@ExodusCollective]

Trusting the process is key! It took me a decade to get here - I'm sure things will fall into place for you when it's meant to. Enjoy the journey 😊✨

[@GG-rk1bu]

@@ExodusCollective thanks for the vote of confidence! I'm definitely determined.

We purchased land now we are happy with our new home. Grenada carnival takes place in AUGUST this is the ultimate time to realise we are living in paradise. London is very cold right now.

[@ExodusCollective]

I'm looking forward to Spicemass too! It's gonna be a special one after the two year absence. Congrats on purchasing a home in Grenada 🎉

Where are you planning to move to?

[@AnthonyStewart-so1es]

Awesome thanks thank you ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@tainelson2137]

Such an inspiration, I think going off grid and homesteading is the way to go. If only we had done this earlier in life . We are just starting our journey and looking forward to removing ourselves from all the trappings and materialistic way of living in the UK . Looking forward to following you on your new path !

[@skysky7377]

Alignment; I think part of that is a supportive community that is supportive and wanting to elevate. There is a reason we had tribes. I’m certain if all your surrounding neighbours are your tribe you’ll thrive.

[@ExodusCollective]

I couldn't agree with you more 🙂

[@arnoldroderique5034]

Very NICE, Can hear the birds singing in the background.

[@lisan1690]

Good day to you Zoe Thank you for posting this video that I happened upon purely by chance or was it..? I absolutely loved it and was like oh wow! Yes, this woman has done what I’m hoping to do to. I am an English born Grenadian woman, who currently resides in the U.K. My husband is Grenadian. My parents, & grand parents, history etc stems from Grenada. We try to come to Grenada twice a year when we can. But we hope to make that move in the coming years. I love this video & recognise your current neighbourhood. Looks like Westerhall gated. We drove round and at first was excited by the beauty & the ‘neatness’ but like you feel that’s not the ‘Grenada I want’ I look forward to your other videos. Thanks Lisa

[@leeza2790]

Thank you for this, appreciate it so much!! 💕 I’m feeling inklings of moving to the Caribbean one day. One of my favorite places.

[@ExodusCollective]

Definitely come visit Grenada it's a wonderful island (even if I'm slightly biased) 🙂

[@troybraithwaite8510]

I have been visiting Grenada my whole life. It’s incredibly brave of you to move with 3 small kids. I’m not sure about living in a gated community In Grenada. I find the beauty in living with the locals. They are incredibly welcoming.

[@ExodusCollective]

Grenada is indeed beautiful! Thankfully I'm slowly finding community where I am and beyond. I hope you get to make the move too!

[@karenetavares1285]

Because you're doing such a great job with these videos I made up my mind. I hope to see you soon.

[@ExodusCollective]

Aw, that's just the best news! Congrats on making the decision 🙌🏾✨

Zoe, love listening to your video the wonderful comments. This is a great platform.. I am Grenadian, lived in the UK as a child, left to live in Canada, as my husband is Jamaican, we decided to build a house there to retire there. My dad has a house in Grenada in St Andrews and would

Love to maintain the best of both worlds.. 3 months in Jamaica and 2 in Grenada at this time in my life. But I'm sure it will have its challenges.. Love your videos, good luck with your ventures.👍💕

[@karenetavares1285]

I too like simple.

[@hotstepper8420]

I do understand what you mean, gated communities and manicured front lawns is not for me. I too feel i should go off grid and more into nature.

[@wendyhestick8514]

There would always be an orientation period of adjustment. Don't tear down your family home, renovate. That property is beautiful. I see a "Riverwalk Restaurant" on the edge of the River. A nature walk and day visit for students to be influenced for Agriculture. "Let Girls Learn" that programme gets so much funding, if you position it right. I so encourage you to pace your adjustment. You are so, so brave, I know you made the right decision. I think also, grouping returnees, since you are already there, might be a good support, and income source. Of course your children are a priority, right now. Whatever you choose to do, once you do "what you love to do", it will work out. Bless you, I hear you, I support and encourage you!

Thanks Wendy - I love having you in my corner 🙌🏾 💫! Hope we get to meet in person before too long 🤞🏾.

Grand Anse has a great vibe! Would have loved to explore Calivigny Island before it was developed. Hog Island is still pretty magical but the drive to get there, less so 😆.

[@andrewflanders5323]

Hi Zoe, That's very interesting. I am use to going back to Grenada, like many of us to our family home, with most being in the countryside. And this is were maybe you might feel a more in tune with the locals. But then the question would be, what is the definition of a "Gated Community". Is it all expats so to speak. If so, that maybe part of the reason, but there is nothing wrong with that community you are in. Its just that you have a different mindset, in regards to living in Grenada. The example I would give, if you agree, would be staying in an all inclusive hotel compared to backpacking, if you see what I mean. There are people who have family homes and decide to keep it and pass it on to the next generation. Keep that mindset, as you will get use to the life the longer you are there. One more thing that's come to mine, which maybe relevant, is reading books. I mention that because tv in Grenada is not the same compared to UK regarding cable. So because of that, you tend to read more especially in this wonderful climate. In other words there is no distraction so to speak .

[@ExodusCollective]

For sure, there's nothing wrong with the community at all. It's a lovely place to be - it's just I'd rather be somewhere else... Probably the sort of setting that you're used to in Grenada too

[@jahbaribertrand4813]

@@ExodusCollective the country side is the best place lots and lots to do nature at it's finest, try relocating to the country, st Andrew's, st marks, st David's, st Patrick's, st Jonhs that how you would feel the vibe and feel the enjoyment of the island trust me you would love it.

[@latasha716]

Oh I agree with you about the property that your family has in grenada. Unfortunately, my family has sold the property, even after I offered to purchase it. Since my visit to the island, I've wanted to retire to Grenada. Thank you for your video. Would love to connect.

[@killytoo]

Love your adventure. Family home fix up is very rewarding but you might find taxes not paid for years on property. Building materials this year have doubled in price

[@ExodusCollective]

Lol, very true

[@albertbridgeman2500]

I like your input also the way you express yourself; How is the medical situation there for an elderly person to migrate?

[@ExodusCollective]

If I'm being honest, the medical situation is not great here. In case of needing serious treatment the option generally is to travel overseas to Barbados, Trinidad or the US/UK

[@tristybrooke33]

I feel a bit differently on this topic. I think I want to have 2 homes- one to live in a protected area where I know my kids will be safe and other in a rural area where it’s deeply steeped in natural surroundings - I need both

[@jahbaribertrand4813]

Anywhere in Grenada your kids will be safe I tell you the country is side is the best, the people there are much more genuine and will go all out to welcome you and make sure you are very comfortable.

[@calijencalivigny5958]

DO NOT MOVE IF THE COUNTRYSIDE HOUSE DOESN'T HAVE A SEA VIEW.... just kidding. Is it important to be close to the airport? Is your current neighbourhood quiet, vs new one? What about the street lights situation in the potential new versus current if you happen to be needing to be in transit at night? Can you do a trial run living at the country house before you decide? How do the kids feel about leaving where they are at present? My mom had moved me from the country to the city while she was away because of sand flies issues. I don't know if that is still a consideration. I think Grenada would lend itself very well to living off the grid. What is internet service like in the grandparent's house if you go off grid. I think it's sad for a house to be just sitting unused. If you need to sell, so be it. Unless of course if your grandparents are still around. It's a big achievement to become homeowners, and it might be too upsetting to see you part with it. It could also be another place in the city that you move to, rather than going to the countryside.

[@ExodusCollective]

All very good questions 👏🏾! It doesn't have a sea view but it does have a river 😁.

[@ojeraalex3360]

Did you think your kids feelings before making the move

[@ExodusCollective]

100% That was the main focus in making the move. Have you moved abroad with kids? Would love to know how you've tackled this.

Hey Zoe, I love watching your podcasts. I would like spending couple of month there each year and it would be good to give some cash to this beautiful island thru the passport investment program and apply for Grenada passport to add to the UK passport. If you have a contact of a local immigration agent / solicitor to help me and your other subscribers to get in touch with, we would greatly appreciate it. You are a local there now, and would not be scammed. Thanks!

The physical deliverace or liberation from the trauma of living in a world/society that does not acknowledge or nuture the human Soul and it's divinely is only the beginning of your healing journey. It can not be equated with or expected to provide in and of itself the experience of Spiritual Freedom, Inner Peace, Balance and the return of the sensation of your own Beingness. True Freedom from Soular Bondage is when that which has created the trauma no longer effects/impacts your thought, speech or actions and creative outcomes as you move about the cabin of live..... when you've called back all your soul fragments and attachments to the psychic bonds of trauma and they have been broken - then you will no longer be living your life at the vibrational frequency/rate of what you've been through...This will be Freedom from the inside out....It will be independent of location .... and more....

[@ExodusCollective]

Sorry I missed this message. Yes, I couldn't agree with you more. Merely changing locations is not enough, in and of itself, to realise the shift many of us now is necessary. Giving up the old, stepping into the new is part of the growth. It's probably why I use the phrase "it's a process" so frequently lol. Where are you based?
