BARE | One of the biggest honors I have leading women is the privilege to create experiences for growth and belonging. . It’s a chance to reclaim and sit in the vulnerable, a chance to strip off and heal again, a chance to remember that there is fire in the wounding and that always and always, our collective pain births our collective power. . Each retreat, whether it is ten women or fifty is a sacred space of @hannahpatricialo and I trusting each other to go into the deep. . We sit for hours and days in my little apartment, crafting and writing and asking again and again what do they need? Where do they need to go? . Leaving and cleaving a little part of our hearts with each workshop because the work takes us there and unless we do the work, we cannot teach the work. . We too have skeletons in our closets and it is at these retreats that we are the most vulnerable and bared open because we know these women too deserve to know and learn and feel that we all have our scars that shape and hide and hurt and love. . From our first workshop in the jungles of Kuala Kubu Bahru to the rice paddy fields of Bali in February, I am a better mother, wife, business owner, specialist, because of this experience. . And it’s all because one visionary believed in us. Our team that supports us, our husbands and partners that wait for us, our clients that go to bat for us, our teeny tinies that believe so fiercely in our not enoughs, our women that have come through these doors. . We are in the hundreds now, but they each feel precious to us. Seen. Loved. Whole. Individual. The circle would not have been the same if even one was missing. Thank you for letting me do my most honest work yet and for trusting us to go into the deep w you. . What would you like to learn? Where has your scars taken you? What is holding you back? . . . #supparetreat #womensretreat #authenticleadership #rachealkwacz #hannahpatricia
