You can love your life and want some time outside its usual demands. Time to discover what interests you when there’s no immediate use for it. What you miss. What you’d happily spend an afternoon doing, and who you’d like beside you.

Enough time to follow a conversation past the point where you’d usually have to leave. To try something unfamiliar, find yourself absorbed, or discover that someone else cares about the same unlikely thing. I bring structure to our days, with room for your curiosity and whatever we discover together.

The landscape has no particular interest in whether you have successfully become your best self. It does not require your suffering to have produced a lesson. It has no five-year plan for you. It has been doing something much older and stranger for a very long time.

Through guided conversations and things we try together, we explore what makes us feel alive, what matters now, and where we’re still waiting for permission to live the way we want. There’s room to take something seriously, try a different approach, or discover that you’re already doing more of it than you thought.

Getting comfortable

You learn names. Find someone you enjoy talking with. Figure out where you like to sit with your coffee. There’s less to work out each morning.

Following something further

Yesterday’s conversation gives you something to try today. You go back to a place that caught your attention. Someone remembers what you were curious about and wants to come along.

Time to be here

You can have a quiet day without feeling you’ve missed your chance. An unexpected interest can have another afternoon. You have time to do more than introduce yourself.

Together

Only eight to ten people.

Only eight to ten people.

Small enough to spend time with everyone and find out what you enjoy doing together.

You get to know the little things about each other.

Who wakes up early.

Who asks the strange question.

Who needs twenty minutes before joining everybody else.

What someone looks like when they’re talking about something they love.

You have time to become familiar to one another. Someone seeks you out for a walk. You remember something they wanted to try. Being part of the group includes what you bring to other people’s days.

Alone

You will have time alone.

You will have time alone.

You will have time alone.

Community is not continuous togetherness. There will be space to wander off. To think without immediately explaining what you’re thinking. To have an experience that does not need to become content for the group.

Time to follow your own interest, notice how you feel, or have no particular plans.

Maybe you sit outside. Maybe you write. Maybe you sleep for two hours in the middle of the day and discover civilization continues without you. Wonderful.

You can enjoy these people and want an afternoon to yourself. There’s room for both.

A note on tone

We will take aliveness seriously. We will not always behave seriously while doing it.

We will take aliveness seriously. We will not always behave seriously while doing it.

We can talk about something that matters deeply and laugh a minute later. Neither cancels the other out. You don’t have to stay solemn to show that something matters.

A person can have an existential revelation at 11:00 and be arguing about the objectively correct gas-station candy at 2:30.

This is time to explore what makes you feel alive, with guidance, company, and somewhere worth exploring. I bring conversations and experiences that help you notice what matters to you and try things you might otherwise put off. You bring your interests, your questions, and the life you’re already living. You don’t owe anyone a transformation by the end of the week.

What will you want to take home?

What will you want to take home?

We make time to explore. What you discover will be your own.

A clearer sense of what you want.

An interest you want to follow further.

A decision you’re ready to make.

Permission to leave one undecided.

More room for something you miss.

The realization that something you enjoy needs no defense.

People you want to keep in your life.

Firm evidence that you hate journaling and would like everyone to stop suggesting it.

Useful information.

You may take home something you want to change in your everyday life. You may also have spent days feeling curious, connected, and absorbed in being here. That already counts, before you do anything with it.

And then you go home.

Going home

Before we leave, we’ll spend time considering what that could look like.

What do you want to do again?

What are you glad to go home to?

Who do you want to keep in touch with?

What would you like to try at home?

What might you need to say no to?

What would help you make room?

What can you enjoy without making it another commitment?

I know how much of a life can go into getting through, getting better, and being responsible. There’s something powerful about being known while you’re simply living. You don’t have to bring a breakthrough to breakfast. We’re glad you’re at the table.

Something in your life has changed, and you want time to explore what matters now.

You know some of what makes you feel alive. You want days devoted to it, with people who are interested too.

You’ve spent plenty of time thinking about your life. You want to try things and see what happens.

You’re tired of treating yourself like an improvement project.

You want to be known beyond what you do for everyone else, and get to know other people that way too.

You want to spend time exploring Utah. That’s a perfectly good reason.

You don’t need a crisis to come. You don’t need an impressive reason. Curiosity counts.

If ten people sharing space sounds categorically terrible to you, believe yourself.

If you want someone to tell you exactly what your life means or what to do next, I won’t have that answer. I’ll bring perspective, questions, and things to try. You get to decide what they mean for your life.
