This is a study in leadership, grounded in the belief that to be effective and grow as a leader and a person, you must first create an ecosystem of resilience.

Here Lorca Smetana is your skilled and knowledgeable wilderness guide.  She will lead you down the trail to the open expanses of compassion and embodiment. While you may want to stay there a long time, like any good guide Lorca will let you take it all in, ask you what you saw, and subtly keep you moving down the trail. You will visit the edges of cliffs, looking over the edge into the depths of leadership, time, and your own blind spots.  Lorca has a light hand on your shoulder, to keep you safe and grounded.  She has a playful smile and a gleam in her eyes as you explain what you saw.

As with any worthwhile adventure, you'll feel the full range of emotions and delve into the true reasons you make the decisions you do. Invite yourself down alternative paths that unlock your authentic self and shine a light on how and where you want to impact your world.

"By helping me view life through a new and vibrant lens, and heightened curiosity, what I once thought would take years of hard labor to gain momentum transformed into moments, then minutes, then hours of whispering possibility. I didn’t think it was possible but now I wish every person I love could taste such sweetness in their lives. 

What Lorca offers is more generous, positive, and transformative than any other avenue of self-repair I have sought out in more than twenty years, and through eight years of exhaustion. Not only does she offer this with the curriculum she has crafted but in her innate way of being.  She tends to the spirit and not just the mind.  She lives and breathes embodied resilience.

If this is what can be achieved in just a few short weeks, I can only imagine the ways in which this could change my life when explored for the rest of my days. I now eagerly look forward to the sunrise and lie in bed grateful at night. 

There is no greater value."
