What happens when a cohort of bright minds, curious hearts, and playful spirits from across the country comes together for an experiential retreat? It’s less about the plan and more about: 🌱 Deep discussions that open new perspectives 💭 Reflections that make you pause and look inward 🎉 Moments of laughter & lightness and 💫 Memories that stay with you long after Through The Hero’s Journey – An Experiential Narrative Workshop, we honored our own stories, where we’ve been, what we’ve navigated, and where we are heading. Stories became mirrors, and personal narratives unfolded as gentle pathways for growth. Here’s to learning, laughter, and friendships that remind us that we’re not walking alone. 🌍❤️ [Psychology, Stories, Narrative, Wellness, Retreat, Residency, Travel, Immersive, Play, Games, Motivation]

7 Things Nobody Tells You About Growth🌱 😣 It’s messy: real growth comes with mistakes, detours, and moments that feel chaotic. 🌿 It’s invisible at first: most progress happens quietly, before anyone (including you) notices. 🔄 It’s inconsistent: some days leap forward, others feel stuck - both are part of the process. 🚶 It can be lonely: not everyone will understand or walk with you on the same path. 🍂 It demands letting go: growth often means shedding habits, roles, or even people you’ve outgrown. ⏳ It tests your patience: progress may feel painfully slow, but roots take time to hold firm. 👀 It reshapes your perspective: the lessons you learn change how you see yourself, others, and the world. Growth is rarely pretty, but it is always powerful. Trust the roots you’re building even when you can’t see them yet. 🌳 #healthandwellbeing #growth #emotionalwellness #patience #mentalhealth #psychology #healing

Grief isn’t just about death. It’s about the many ways we lose pieces of ourselves, our dreams, or the people we love. Some grief arrives before the loss even happens, such as watching an illness progress or sensing the end of a relationship. Some grief is invisible because the world doesn’t acknowledge it, such as the pain of miscarriage, the end of a friendship, or the loss of a beloved pet. There’s the grief that comes without closure, when someone is physically here but psychologically absent, as in dementia or estrangement. There’s also the grief of losing who we thought we were: a career, a role, an identity we no longer carry. And then there are the ripple effects: the companionship, security, and futures we imagined that vanish alongside the primary loss. Communities grieve as well, after disasters, violence, pandemics, or cultural erasure. And in quieter ways, we all grieve the everyday heartbreaks: the shift in our health, the loss of safety, even the futures we once pictured for ourselves but may never live. The truth is that grief doesn’t follow a neat timeline. It doesn’t always look like tears. Sometimes it looks like exhaustion, withdrawal, or even a smile worn as armor. If you’re carrying grief today, in any form, you’re not broken and you’re not alone. And if someone you love is grieving, remember that your quiet presence is often the most healing thing you can offer. #GriefAwarenessDay #MentalHealth #Compassion #Wellbeing

Yutori, Obuitori, Wabi-sabi - and many more… ✨🌿 At our recent retreat, I had the privilege of facilitating an experience that drew inspiration from Shinrin-yoku (Japanese for forest bathing) - the practice of slowing down and immersing ourselves in nature. We walked gently, breathed deeply, and allowed the forest to remind us of presence. Through moments of mindfulness and pause, we reconnected with a quieter rhythm of life. Other Japanese ways of seeing reminded us to value imperfection, to honor our own timing, and to hold space for what truly matters. It wasn’t about doing more. It was about noticing more. In stillness, clarity returns. In slowing down, connection deepens. [Mindfulness, wellbeing, retreat, wellness, wabi sabi, forest, nature, art] #mindfulness #retreat #wellness #forest #nature

The Story of Qitmir Long ago, in a time of tyranny and oppression, a group of seven young men, often called the Ashab al-Kahf (People of the Cave) stood up for their faith in the One God. They were noble and righteous, refusing to bow to the king who demanded worship as a deity. Fearing for their lives, they fled into the mountains, seeking refuge in a cave where they could pray and rest. Unbeknownst to them, they were followed by a loyal dog, known as Qitmir. Qitmir was not just any dog. He was devoted, watchful, and gentle - a creature of great spiritual presence. When the young men entered the cave, Qitmir lay at the mouth of the cave, stretching out his paws, as if to guard them from all harm. And then, by the will of God, a miracle occurred. They all fell into a deep sleep, a sleep that would last not hours, not days, but over 300 years. During that time, Qitmir remained, his body preserved by divine grace, guarding his companions through centuries of silence, wind and time. When they finally awoke, the world had changed. The cruel king was long gone, and their message of faith had spread far and wide. They had become legends - symbols of devotion, faith and divine protection. #dogsofinsta #doggo #dogsofinstagram #doglovers #dogstagram #friendship

When was the last time you truly stopped - to notice life around you? Pause. Breathe. Be. Sometimes the most healing thing we can do is simply sit with nature, let the world slow down, and let our thoughts gently drift like leaves on the breeze.
