Leave the Grind
Want more out of life but don't know where to start? Whether you're contemplating leaving a job, have already left, or are just curious, we'll journey together as a group to discover and support each other to find a meaningful existence outside the box.
A deeper life awaits you, ripe with possibility, aliveness, and adventure. Come join us for an evening of possibilities, as we explore alternative options through storytelling, prompts and practices, writing, music, group work, and Q&A. We'll go through the practical, soulful, emotional, and logistical steps of life off the beaten path, while honing in on your dreams and visions to become your authentic, connected, creative and FREE self.
Topics explored may include, but not be limited to: pushing edges, spending and saving, family and friend relationships, finding guides and supportive practices, health insurance, determining your right amount of structure, therapy, play, relationship with money, emotional literacy and healing, loneliness, planning, and what finding your way can look like.
