Hey ,
One thing I've learned the hard way: We don’t heal all by ourselves. 🫣
The wellness industry sells us isolation and escapism. It dangles the false promise of perfection and purity. And we are just left more alone, more dissatisfied, and more isolated than ever. Fixating on self-help, self-seeking, self-everything keeps us fending for ourselves, neglecting the suffering of our friends and neighbors, and denying our humanity. (American Detox, 2022)
...Maybe you've been here before, too.
Priya Parker, the author of one of my favorite books The Art of Gathering, says “gathering matters because it is through each other we realize what we believe”. 🙏🏼
Healing happens in community.
Joy happens in community.
Transformation happens in community.
The change we are all so desperately seeking - overcoming burnout, stepping into our full potential, and living sustainable, joyful lives is only possible together.
Which is exactly what we are going to do. The American Detox Retreat is an invitation to go on a journey that is both courageous and compassionate in community. Join us October 20 - 23rd!
