- The last spot
Hello legend,
Two days ago, I shared that there were two spots left for the retreat.
Since then, one person reached out and said yes.
So now there’s just one place remaining.
And something about that always changes the feeling of a retreat.
Every time I host one of these, there’s a moment where the container starts to feel alive before it even begins.
You can feel the group energy forming. People flying in from different countries, carrying their own questions, hopes, fears, and quiet intentions for what they want this experience to give them.
And now we’re almost there.
In less than two weeks, a small group of us will be sitting together in a hidden corner of Bali.
No phones.
No notifications.
No outside world.
Just jungle air, ocean breeze, honest conversations, deep breathwork, ceremony, and the rare kind of presence that only happens when life slows down enough for truth to surface.
What I’ve noticed over the years is that the last spot is never taken by the person who feels perfectly ready.
It’s taken by the person who keeps coming back to the idea.
The one who reads the emails, closes them, tries to move on… and then finds themselves thinking about it again later that day.
The one who senses a turning point, even if they can’t explain why.
Something about this particular group feels very aligned.
People of all different ages and walks of life. Different countries. Different life paths. All arriving with the same quiet openness to what might unfold.
And now there’s one open place for whoever feels meant to step into that circle.
Not because the timing is perfect.
Not because the fear disappears.
But because ignoring it starts to feel harder.
Someone will take this place.
And when they do, the container will be complete.
So if this email keeps pulling your attention back to it, trust that curiosity enough to explore.
If this resonates, apply below and we’ll talk.

P.S. The last spot is rarely taken by the most certain person… but by the one who trusts the quiet yes.
