David here…
It’s been a few weeks now since our Winter Reset Retreat, and we’ve very much enjoyed getting to rest more and post less since then, haha. I also didn’t want to miss the opportunity to share a reflection on this very special weekend:
While Darnell has helped facilitate multiple retreats now, this was our first retreat we offered together and my first time holding space in that way. Even long after we began working towards the dream of this retreat space, I felt some imposter syndrome at the thought of hosting our own retreats—after all, we’re so young and have so much to learn still! I’ve been doing my best lately, though, to listen less to that voice of perfectionism, and embrace the truth that as long as I show up authentically, I very much can AND WANT to contribute right now as I am (a creative desire that I believe is inherent in us all).
I had very high hopes and expectations for the retreat, yet by the conclusion of our weekend together it seemed that I had still underestimated the power of this kind of gathering. I simply can’t believe that so much good could come out of such a small amount of time. We’re honored to have created a container where the 10 of us could come together and grow, laugh, ground, dance, rest, and enliven alongside each other in more ways than I thought possible.
I’m so grateful that these beautiful humans showed up for themselves, so grateful to be able to create these opportunities with you, ._.amanda and SO GRATEFUL to get to journey alongside others in these incredibly meaningful ways.
Can’t wait for the next one 🤍
