From Left Out to Leading the Circle

My whole life, I was the one left out. The one used behind backs, betrayed, forgotten, laughed at, dismissed. I know what it feels like to stand on the outside of the circle while everyone else is included.
And maybe that’s why my retreats are what they are. Because I promised myself: no one who comes into my space will ever feel unseen.
When you join me, you’re not a number. You’re not an afterthought. You’re a soul carrying a story, and I make sure you are honored for it.
The food I serve isn’t mass-produced — it’s cooked with hands that know hunger. The spaces I open aren’t random — they’re built from years of longing for community I couldn’t find.
That’s why people feel the difference. You’re not just attending a retreat. You’re stepping into the space I needed my whole life. And finally, I get to share it.
🌸 Why This Is Powerful
I set my retreats apart from “luxury vacations” or “hangout trips.” They show people:
I’ve lived exclusion → so you create radical inclusion.
I’ve been betrayed → so you create deep safety.
I’ve felt fake spaces → so you weave real ones.
