The 2014 Great Life Redesign retreat has passed.
It was epic.
It was intense.
It was blissful.
It was non-profit.
I’ve always wanted to be a philanthropist. But, I don’t donate money to charity {exception — I donate my birthday to charity:water} and I don’t volunteer. I’ve found another way to be a philanthropist.
The etymological meaning philanthropy is to love humanity.
Caring, nourishing, developing and enhancing what it means to be human.
My way of loving humanity is to help you live your great life.
When you step into your great life your greatness ripples out into your world and impacts your friends, family, children, co-workers, neighbours and people on the other side of the world.
This is love in motion.
It feels good to my heart to donate my time to be in service of your soul.
The cost of attending the retreat is exactly what it costs to run it.
