Hey ,

I know what you’re thinking…

 

I’m too busy.

I have responsibilities.

I don’t deserve this.

 

But to give ourselves the gift of self love - to know that we deserve this - is a radical act of resistance. Here’s what i say in AMERICAN DETOX:

"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." 

 

To retreat is not to escape, it is to return.

🎁 Give yourself a gift and join us this October 20th - October 23rd for our first annual Detox Retreat.

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.

 

The October Detox Retreat is designed to support us in remembering and returning to ourselves. Together we will explore:

✨Movement to unpack stagnant energy

✨Radical inquiry and courageous conversation

✨Dream work to unleash our imaginations 

✨Designing to go from surviving to thriving

✨Space for rest and play (pool, hot tub, cold plunge, sauna, hiking)

✨Community connection and ritual

Space is limited. Reserve your room!

"American Detox is the medicine this country needs right now. Urgent and unflinching, it exposes the structural and interpersonal practices that prevent us all from being well. Whether we’re looking to change our systems or change ourselves, Kelly’s words act, guide, and rally us toward the future we deserve.”

 — Nicole Cardoza, founder of Reclamation Ventures, author, and magician
