An invitation to early boarding --
First, you must row a little boat.
When you learn and earn skills and strength, you thrive not only as a skillful solo navigator but also grow into one who would be a valued and essential crew member or leader of more audacious ventures.
Because bigger spirits are not made for the harbor. Parts of us are already skimming across an ocean, and so we learn and gravitate toward a greater ship and the skilled crew that will rapidly take us where we are already pulled to go. It is an act of love to who you will be.
This is such a vessel, and such a crew.
We have reached the master-level work of the Resilience Guild, a vessel for great spirits to live into wholeness in leadership through a year that equally offers sanctuary and constructive challenge so we live as beautifully honored and understood selves who are persistently making good change in the world. The twelve-month venture includes individual and cohort training and group farm retreats (one late spring, one fall). It also holds life membership to the always-growing private guild library of resilience games, open access to the upcoming online resilience foundations course, options for special trainings and teacher training, and usefully relevant or beautiful objects and resources. And it is a belonging within this crew that becomes yours.
In the four weeks of each month --
an evening session with everyone
a one-on-one, 1-hour full session with Lorca
access to 30-minute consult sessions as needed
At the end of a year from now, you will be freer, lighter, being more joy even in a heavy world. You will have completed things you thought you couldn’t, with fun, and know yourself as one who has embraced experiences you thought outside your possibility. You will learn to trust your body in ways that support and challenge you. You will have been able to meet the needs of old or new pain or grief from a newly supported place. And your passion projects will have accelerated in ease and impact within the caliber, caring, and inventive souls of your crewmates. Your projects will be healthier because you are. Your allies and visions will be mightier and aligned. And in and for yourself, a self-honoring, peace, and love you didn’t realize you hadn’t yet known. You have the year as you had already pictured it, and this too. This is all quite something to say will happen, but it is what I have seen and done again and again. It's the natural outcome of this work. And with the caliber of this invited cohort, we will create new things with greater impact and greater ease than ever before.
Always, there is no force to join here. But the contents of this year of explorations were inspired by the beautiful souls that you are, celebration of the growth you have already made, where I know you are already wanting to venture beyond your current harbor, and the true kind of support you need next. The terrain of our work is your life. But each month also has a specific overlay wilderness to explore and dance in, some of which are already more familiar terrain to you, and some which you may have been evading so far. These will each become yours as well, and change who you know yourself to be moving forward.
What are some of the sometimes-fraught yet world-expanding ventures we are steering deliberately into? In some of these you will lead, and in others you will be supported by others' experience. As happens beautifully in my world, you will be comforted where you are afflicted, and afflicted where you are comfortable. Which of these are already yours, or not yet yours?
The luminous funeral
The currencies of a differently rich life
Being drama-teflon
Maturity and integrity
Deepening mammaling
Iterating intimacy
Befriending risk, rejection, and vanity
Next-level self-honoring
Irrepressible creating
Many of these will be inviting themselves into your path regardless. The difference lies in a beautiful intentionality, lucid playfulness, and in who surrounds you when you meet them. We test ourselves and the world tests us less.
This is how we build communities of resilient practice. I have crafted this for us over years, to be ready when we are, and when we are needed. There is much that is fragile now. We can choose to commit to supporting ourselves in continually strengthened resilience. In doing so we materially improve the lot and work of everyone and everything around us. In here I gift you to twelve brave, smart, generous, and caring people I delight in so much, and them to you, persistently, some perhaps for life. And I want to give you me throughout your life this year, and give myself you in a time that is asking so much more from each of us than ever before so that you may be supported and curated and loved into where you know you can be, and then beyond that.
This year creates where you start next year. Lured out of well-worn patterns of thought. Brave study. A field expedition into joy.
This link below is your way of claiming your berth. Passage will be $800 per month or $900 per month on a payment plan. This ship can beautifully handle only twelve people. We will launch in April. Please don't wait once you know what you will choose, either way. The $200 committed deposit will hold your space and be applied to your first payment.
I am honored to ask you, and to feed you. We need to be able to not numb, to stay truly alive and together.
The great ships are not sailed alone. Let us sail great ships in this life.
Love,
