The waiting list is officially OPEN for the Ritual Retreat, our first international experience that will be in Costa Rica from November 6 - 13, 2023!

Hello, future ancestors!

Lately I've been in sloth training, and that means slowing down while learning how to still feel safe doing so.

It's been over three months since I've returned from my sabbatical, and coming back to Los Angeles was a lot to take in after being unplugged. And so many of you may know that I ended up spending time on a farm watching over nine goats, five chickens, five cats and two dogs for my friend Montez as she was out of town. I tried to use that time to refocus on coming back strong, but instead I preferred to hang out with the goats. I would highly encourage you to listen to my last solo episode about lessons in farm sitting if you'd like to hear more about that experience. And what many people don't know is that I actually left the farm to work at an event in Florida where I was asked to help coach a training for about 100 aspiring speakers. But I ended up with Laryngitis that whole entire week.

Main topics discussed:

  • Scaling a business: is it worth it?
  • Finding congruency between hedonism and spiritual living
  • Trusting that less is more as a collective desire
  • How to release responsibility for other people’s suffering
  • Why I’m hosting an international retreat centered on storytelling and sensuality
