"Becoming a better parent is just the icing on the cake with this quest!"
Are you ready to dive in and go deep?
You may go into this quest with the intentions of becoming a better parent, like I did, and discover that becoming a better parent is not necessarily what you thought it would be. And, better still, find that becoming a better parent is just the icing on the cake with this quest!
Personal and spiritual development is one of the key foci of my life, and after 15 years of what I’d call conscious personal development, I didn’t expect this quest to rock my boat as much as it did! In the best possible way...
This quest came at a beautiful time for me; a time where I was truly ready to look at myself, my own family experience, my past and all my fears, guilt, shame and grief with acceptance and compassion. The open conversations I was able to have with other people in the tribe during this quest were really invaluable.
I had a lot of lightbulb moments, helping me bring intellectual concepts into practice (and experience). I instilled many new, positive, beliefs about myself, my family and parenthood. And, I laughed a lot as well. Mostly about myself and how seriously I’ve been taking myself, especially as a parent
