Living through an endless sea of storms and damage loses its charm quickly. Eventually, it starts wearing you down. Even if you’ve got a strong support system, a stable job, no immediate threats to your safety or health—just bearing witness to it all can begin to feel like some sort of horrific soul exfoliation at a spa you never agreed to visit.
We know because we’re right there with you. We aren’t immune by any means. But we’ve each developed a framework that continues to help us survive and thrive. And it occurred to us one that that together, our frameworks become a pretty potent way to help ease the way and stay on the right track, no matter what’s going on around us.

(Disclaimer: We grieve for our fellow humans being subjected to atrocities, both here in the US and abroad, and fully recognize our massive privilege. The impetus behind this retreat is a desire to share some of the actions we take to keep going, and keep thriving, in a time and place that makes doing so incredibly difficult. In other words, we’re doing what we can with what we have to restore and maintain whatever goodness we can, together with anyone who might be interested in doing so as well.)
