Retreat Recordings

Day 1: January 3, 2025

Purpose: Clarify your vision

We did this by (a) reflecting on 2024, (b) clearing up what freedom would be in our lives right now, our current values and priorities, and what we want to do by the end of our lives, then (c) thinking about what we want our lives to be about, and therefore 2025.

Guiding Question: What do I want my life to be about?

Homework: Be with this statement, fill in the blanks as answers come to you, revisit again and again, allow it to reveal and shift into truth.

The vision I have for my life includes [ ]. I feel myself becoming [ ], so this year I really want [ ] and will surprise myself by [ ].

  • At 1:39, we took a 10 min. break and I paused the recording

  • At 1:41, we focused on what we want our lives to be about (this was profound for many of you per the messages you sent and the after party conversation)

  • 2:31-2:37 we went over the statement above and how to approach it.

Day 2: January 4, 2025

Purpose: Focus and plan

We did this by a) sharing revelations from the massive unearthing we did on day 1 — what realizations, ahas or curiosities emerged over night?, (b) getting honest with ourselves about what goals, wants, dreams are no longer ours to carry, in order to get (c) very clear about what we want 2025 to be about, so we could (d) figure out what we are going to then do this year, (e) got clear on what would happen when, (f) arrived to a pillar structure for the goals that would be focused on each quarter, (g) identified our obstacles and how to deal with them, and (h) figured clear, specific actions and decisions that we're going to make.

Guiding Question: Based on what I want my life to be about, what do I need 2025 to be about?

Homework: Share one or more of your goals with someone you trust.
