Finding Beauty in the Storm Courage Practices for Uncertain Times

Image

CULTIVATE RESILIENCE

In an era of unprecedented polarization, chaos, and uncertainty, many of us find ourselves caught between two struggles: the courage to face mounting challenges and the ability to still see beauty and possibility in our world.  

How do we maintain our sense of wonder and appreciation when everything feels chaotic?  

How do we find the courage to create moments of beauty when we're overwhelmed by banality, pain, or darkness?

Maria Sirois and Scott Simon lead a transformative weekend exploring how courage and beauty work together as essential practices for navigating our complex world. Through their combined frameworks of appreciation and practical courage-building, discover how small brave acts can open your capacity to find and create beauty even in life's storms.

This retreat is for you if:

  • You find yourself struggling to maintain optimism in the face of constant change.
  • You want to build practical courage skills while deepening your appreciation of life.
  • You're seeking ways to create moments of beauty and meaning during difficult times.
  • You care deeply about how you model your resilience to those around you, seeking to inspire their courage and sense of wonder.
  • You want to move from surviving uncertainty to thriving through it.

Join us on this heart-centered journey of courage and gratitude.
