Hey y'all,

I came across this amazing gem of writing
( [link removed] )by Kate Forster who
described an interaction with a friend who had just survived
cancer and felt guilty for not having some dramatic call to
purpose in its wake. Here's what Kate said in response:

*****************************************************************
What if I told you that your purpose right now is to be here?
That's it. All you have to do is show the fuck up.
*****************************************************************

Purpose is bullshit...or at least the version of purpose we have
been sold by toxic capitalism...that we are not worthy unless we
have a purpose and have productized that purpose. It is the idea
that everyone is in competition with everyone else and your
personal valuation is your worth. In a neoliberal world, we have
all become human PNLs.

Becoming our best selves isn’t some personal revolution. It is
the responsibility we have to each other. It is the kind of
self-making and world-making that understands that we are
inextricably tied and creates the conditions where everyone can
thrive together. It is locating ourselves as part of a larger
ecosystem, where everyone’s unique role and contribution is
understood and appreciated. Purpose isn’t some individual
endeavor; it actualizes each and every one of us as part of
something bigger than ourselves. And it affirms that our highest,
most realized self is one that is understood in relationship and
expressed from love.

Your purpose is to be here. It is to survive despite everything
and do all that you can to make sure everyone survives. It
is "show the fuck up" for the more just and joyful world that we
all deserve. It is to grow and evolve because our future depends
on it.

How do we meet this moment and prepare for the next? has
been a question I have asked most frequently over the last few
years. This year's EMERGE home retreat is designed to do just
that - to confront whatever is in the way of our full potential
so that we can show up with power and precision for the next year
and beyond. Our journey will lead us through a process of radical
reflection, healing, vision and strategy to prepare us for the
work ahead and make way for what's possible.

Here’s what you can expect:

* Daily yoga/meditation practice with me (customized each day to
support your journey)

* Daily writing assignments (to accompany your practice and
support self inquiry)

* Daily LIVE community coaching call (to workshop whatever is in
your way)

* Daily visioning and manifestation tools (purpose work, self
care plan, wellbeing assessment, etc)

* Exclusive Facebook group (for ongoing inspiration and
connection)

And the best part is that you design your retreat schedule! Set
aside a few hours a day for practice, reflection and visioning.
And once per day we'll meet up on a live video call (4pm EST)
with other emerging leaders from around the world to support one
another on this path to what's next. Together, we will prepare
ourselves for a powerful and purposeful 2025.
