"We're All Just Walking Each other Home."
- Ram Dass
It has become clear to me that now, more than ever, the need for Community in all of our lives is truly important. In my own journey, it was within the heart of various retreat centers where I found transformation and a deeper connection to myself and others. These experiences taught me the true essence of Community - it's a sanctuary. Whether found in your neighbouring towns, dedicated boards, book clubs, masterminds or online spaces - community is available and found all around us. There's something profoundly beautiful about discovering your tribe and nurturing those connections. It's about creating a space where everyone feels seen, heard, and valued - a place where you can really feel the radical experience of being human - together.
Deepening Connections at Hollyhock
My departure from Retreat Centre - Hollyhock - wasn't the end of a chapter, but a transition to a new form of engagement in the Community. In my role as Guest Services Manager, I witnessed firsthand the transformative power of a space dedicated to the realization of human potential. This profound experience left me with a deep-seated desire to continue contributing to such meaningful work. Joining the Board of Directors was a natural progression, allowing me to advocate for and support the ongoing mission of Hollyhock. It's a commitment to creating environments where individuals can discover and harness their full potential, a value that lies at the core of everything I strive to do. Hollyhock remains a beacon of personal and community growth, and I am honored to play a part in its journey, championing the evolution of human potential in every endeavor.
