Resilience in Nature

Thank you for listening, for the pampering, for the professional guidance, and for your heartfelt desire to take such good care of us. It was uplifting, moving and empowering. I feel like I came home changed. Something in me has settled and grown stronger.

Each person is a whole world, and I found something to connect with in every one of the participants. I came away feeling that we're much stronger than we think.

I’m well aware of the power of conversation circles, but I found it difficult to incorporate them into the school. I’m leaving here with a clear resolution: The workshops I’ll lead through the end of the year will focus on conversation, listening, and connection.

I realized I needed to have the courage to ask for help. To keep being there for others—but not to forget to be there for myself, too.

The facilitator was truly there for us—she listened, didn’t try to tell us how we were supposed to feel, and created a space where we could just be. I left feeling calmer, happier, and more at peace with myself.

I rediscovered just how much strength there is in a group. My friends helped me see the good in myself, we got to know each other deeply—and we left here as a closer-knit and stronger team.

Time seemed to stand still for a moment. I managed to rediscover my center—the place I need to return to and lead from.

You didn’t just help the 30 people who attended the workshop. We’re returning from here to the 3,000 people whom we, as community managers, are responsible for and support.

It helped me share what I feel with people who have known me for many years but had never heard my real story. I believe that from now on we'll all be able to look at each other with more acceptance and less judgment.

Through the workshops I was able to take care of myself, to think, to look inward and find what gives me strength. It's so powerful to be in a place where I'm seen, where I can receive, where someone is thinking of me, and where I can finally let go.

The workshop was a chance to say thank you and give them a moment of rest in a beautiful, peaceful place in nature, with real listening and moments of laughter and closeness.

It's hard to put the experience into words. I can tell you that when I got home, for the first time in a very long time, I physically felt like I could breathe. I was able to breathe the way I hadn't in a long time. Thank you so much!

A wonderful and essential concept. It conveyed a sense of deep thought and attention to detail in both planning and execution. There was absolute attentiveness and great professionalism throughout the sessions, and that allowed me to rediscover my center.

The workshop gave me a sense of calm and allowed me to create some breathing room for myself during this time. I learned to get to know myself better and to understand how to cope with stressful situations.
