To retreat is not to escape, it is to return.
We are more than objects of productivity. We are beings deserving of care. When we reclaim worthiness and dignity as inherent, we can more skillfully show up for our life and loved ones. While scarcity limits our imagination, dignity unleashes it, creating a capacity to dream beyond our limitations and towards cooperative models that take care of everyone.
Here's what I shared within the American Detox book:
"In a culture that objectifies the body and commodifies the self, self-love is the biggest middle finger of all time—particularly for those of us who are taught that we are not worthy of love, or that we can only achieve worthiness through perfectionism or productivity. Self love is standing up for yourself and your choices in the face of making people uncomfortable, disappointing others and countering culture. It is rejecting society’s standards of who we’re supposed to be. It is refusing to give away our power for validation. It is recovering our body, mind and soul from the toxic culture of perfectionism. It is self-determination for all bodies no matter what. And it is embodying a radical self-love that goes beyond other people’s idea of perfect or normal or deserving. Radical love simply is." American Detox
The upcoming RESET 2025: New Year's Retreat is designed to support us in remembering and returning to ourselves. Together we will:
✨ Detox and disrupt through dynamic movement practice
✨ Disrupt old patterns and stories
✨ Remember our resilience
✨ Design new possibilities for ourselves and each other
✨ Find joy in play and adventure
✨ Resource in nature
✨ Share rituals of release and manifestation
✨ And more!
It will be a generous balance of practice and play as we reflect on where we are coming from and imagine where we are going.
