pollymolly: Not really the the power of the key. So I I think I've reached another level.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Like. Feel it coming from you. Good! So black
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): up the.
pollymolly: So thank you for that.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Gummy
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Michelle.
Michelle Ritter-Taylor: yeah, that was, that was a really great exercise. And lots of times I you know, when there's visualization and I can't see any pictures I kind of want to tune out, but I didn't, and what I got, and
Michelle Ritter-Taylor: was similar to what Kelly was saying. Like work from the magic is like I was getting things. Turned around. I was starting from the wrong premise in that I realize that I haven't been doing my morning practices, and historically, when I do my morning practices and every boundary that comes from that place, I actually
Michelle Ritter-Taylor: a much
Michelle Ritter-Taylor: have a have a let's say, just a stronger ability to hold the boundary. So that's my action step is to to start doing the things to do those practices. And then the gift that I got was a staff
Michelle Ritter-Taylor: which kind of went along with my
Michelle Ritter-Taylor: The work we did in the shadow
Michelle Ritter-Taylor: retreat. Cause. I was the lighthearted sage, and it was like it came together, and the staff just came through my head and provided the backbone that I was feeling it wasn't having yesterday to hold my boundaries. So it's kind of all
Michelle Ritter-Taylor: full circle.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): I love it all so much. And I wanna also just underscore this first point that you're saying with what I'm hearing for you is those morning practices are the grounded feet of the warrior pose. When you can have that grounded the grounded feet that the that those practices give you, then
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): you can set the boundaries. Yeah.
Michelle Ritter-Taylor: Exactly, all.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): And love that
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Vlada.
Vlada Tomova: I was so moved to complete something that
Vlada Tomova: has started a couple of years ago. And the the gift that I received from from the warrior was came as a substitution of what now I understand is represent was representative of
Vlada Tomova: some rigid boundaries that I had about expressing myself.
Vlada Tomova: So a couple of years ago I was in a group a writing group that worked through the buddy, and I had this image of
Vlada Tomova: a part of my actually a big
Vlada Tomova: part of my chest.
Vlada Tomova: being in this armor. Protective cast our iron armor.
Vlada Tomova: and there was this window opening around the heart, but it had thick bars on, and all that. It was a very disturbing dark image, and little by little it had started to shift. But today my wise warrior gave me the gift that they gave me was this raw heart
Vlada Tomova: that was just like slightly scratched, and had a little bit of blood coming out, and it was moving in my heart, in my hands.
Vlada Tomova: And then, even before you said that they would put it somewhere in my, in in our body.
Vlada Tomova: It actually had failed my entire chest.
Vlada Tomova: I was like, Wow!
Vlada Tomova: And so it sounds like a long process bridge, for which which was very moving, and then the part that actually had to protect was again the same, the same part that that same heart, that that sensitive heart, and just like Maria. It was amazing that we were in the same group.
Vlada Tomova: When she was talking about her key, because I couldn't express, like, what is my boundary around it.
Vlada Tomova: and that is the boundary I am able to tend to that heart, that sensitive heart for myself.
Vlada Tomova: and have discernment. Who I let in, and how
Vlada Tomova: and what feels appropriate.
Vlada Tomova: It's it is sacred to protect that that sensitive organ that can be easily bleeding.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Yes.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): it is sacred to protect that. And my sense is that
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): big piece of your creativity comes from that part too.
Vlada Tomova: Yes, for sure, for sure. And what? This is what
Vlada Tomova: we often find ourselves so guarded about
Vlada Tomova: our most sacred things inside of us. So
Vlada Tomova: yeah
Vlada Tomova: thing that you do.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Okay.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): So
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): we're gonna take a break. And I'll tell you a little bit about what we're gonna do when we get back. We're gonna take a 10 min break, and then when we get back.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): we're gonna spend a good piece of time. I wanna put our facilitator and practitioner hats on. I wanna look a little bit at the curriculum development of the afternoon and just kind of like point out
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): practitioner point of view, how we built some cur, you know the curriculum pieces. I think it will be helpful for you whether you're doing groups or one on one, to kind of see that through, especially with this content.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): And then we'll do a review
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): of when I say review over the last 2 days we'll get to the important like points. And you know, what? How are we bringing this together to work with clients?
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): And then from there we'll start to move into our
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): having a little bit of space to really honor this full year
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): of our journey together and and bring it to a beautiful sacred ending.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): So
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): let's come back. I'm gonna be kind of stickler on the 10 min. So let's come back at 4, 47, and we'll keep on going from there. I'll hang out for a minute if anybody needs anything.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Alright.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): So I wish we had another day. I'm so glad. It wasn't only until 3 30 today, like I thought when we started since some years passed. It was only till 3 30. I'm glad we had this extra time.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): I wanted like I said before break. I wanna to let's go over some practitioner pieces.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): So first, let's just kind of take a look at
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): the sequence of earlier in the afternoon. So before lunch break. I kind of introduced this idea of protection.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): and we did a little journaling, not even journaling, just answering some questions around what we're not what's not being protected, etc. We had a little bit of a discussion
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): when we came back after break.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): I kind of did a little bit of a mini evocation
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): of the wise warrior.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): And then
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): from their
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): we did the the visualization process elevator connecting in with the wise warrior.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): And then we drew a picture of what's wanting to be what's
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): and wanting to be protected.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): and what that protection looks like as a boundary.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): And then
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): we had time to process after that.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): first anything that just want anybody, wanna comment or in terms of
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): why, I set it up
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): that way, the piece, and then the next piece, and then the next piece, and the next piece
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): from everything you know about transformation and human behavior, like everything we've learned.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Why did I set it up
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): that way.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Have I lost all of you? Is it too late in the day?
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Yeah. So Kelly's saying in the chat, and so is Invol. We started with the cognitive and the safety, the safety of the cognitive. And then we moved
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): more into the embodied.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): We activated all 4 levels.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): What else? What else do you want to just pull on in terms of why, I set it up the way I set it up.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): and you can put in the chat, or you can just take yourself off mute and share. How can you apply this, even when you don't have hours in a session with even a one on one client. But what? How can you apply some of this to to one on one work or to your group work.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): even if it's shorter form
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): anyone want to share.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Here, Kelly, go ahead.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Oh! And then Tina.
Kelly Lubeck (she/her): I don't know. This is where you're going, but to me it just felt like scaffolding. It felt like
Kelly Lubeck (she/her): we went in at like one level, and then we kind of built it, and it's like creating more safety as we go in. And then we go to the next level. And they were just kind of like peeling back, and also like even to Maria's point, like there were parts that weren't resonating, and she wasn't like getting in there. But then the last 2, it's like something cracked open. And so it's giving all these different
Kelly Lubeck (she/her): like entry points in a way, and that
Kelly Lubeck (she/her): I don't know. That's what I was feeling.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Yeah, absolutely. So a couple of pieces in that like, first just working towards the safety piece. And then when we have our, when we're working with our one on one clients.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): we can more easily go in and be like, oh, that's the that is the right like
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): cause. There's, you know there's the dialogue. There's the intimacy. And we know that's exactly what that person needs with a group.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): It's not always going to be like that, right? So kind of having the different pieces, for you know different people to resonate and take what they're gonna take.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): but also
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): when we do have the luxury of having more time like we have today
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): to go deeper. Sometimes people need to cook in it right like, and that'd be in their resistance, and then not in their resistance, and then this piece is working on them, and then that piece is working on them right and and and then it starts to all come together. So in, you know.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): it doesn't have to all be at once, whether it's group or one on one. But there is something about being in a longer container and letting it cook.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): And then this is also just a reminder
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): in your one on one work
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): pick things up session to session. I sometimes when people share with me, it's like the they're beautiful sessions happening. But then they're in their own little container, and the thread isn't picked up
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): as fully as it could be next time. Like usually things need a while to cook.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): to, to end up.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): you know, to to get to where you want to go.
Kelly Lubeck (she/her): Can I add one other piece that I observed.
Kelly Lubeck (she/her): That's just that. There are parts that you tell us. And you're like
Kelly Lubeck (she/her): this warrior is like this or this one, you know. I I'm not remembering the specifics. But like you're telling us those pieces. And even as I'm like implementing my program right now, I'm just realizing there's a part of the brain that needs to rest and not be exploring all the time. And so it's it's like creating safe space by you saying, Oh, here's a structure. And then I'm gonna drop you into it. I'm gonna hold you there and then we're gonna explore, and it just makes it. It's like both rest and engage rest and engage, and I find that is also really helpful.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Yeah, I love that. And and I think the other piece in that is like
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): you get to be more of a teacher, too, with a group like sometimes one on one. That teacher part isn't.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): There isn't as much space for it or or appropriateness, although we are in it. But we do get to be more in that role in the group.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Tina, did you want to share something.
Tina Dowdy: I was pretty much saying the same thing you and Kelly were saying, and about the one on ones, and
Tina Dowdy: how we can go through the layers make them feel safe. But
Tina Dowdy: there's only so much time, and their brain needs time to process, and it prepares them for the next session to go through the next layer. So it makes sense to do it that way
Tina Dowdy: to me, anyway. Yeah.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Yeah, good. And we want to be thinking about homework also, right? Always homework.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Even. We spent 2 days on this right now. But I want each of you, as you've always hear me say. You know, if there was something here that came through
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): that you were like you know what if I embodied that more
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): that I can see how that could be. Life changing for me.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): embody it more. Come back to it. You have so many tools in your toolbox don't just like go on to what's what's the next new, you know. Breakthrough
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): stick with one of the breakthroughs that came through these 2 days, and for many of you it's been variations of themes right like that, like you keep up. This keeps on coming up, but in a deeper way and a deeper way. Keep on going
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): with that.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Follow where that can lead you.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Greg.
Gregg Berman: And so E, even without having been there just in what you were, just you and Kelly were just talking about and from what I know of you, Joanna, in that
Gregg Berman: that
Gregg Berman: a part where our brain gets to rest.
Gregg Berman: you know, when you're doing the teaching it. You're also always in a place of my way, is not the only way. And so.
Gregg Berman: as that is happening, it's also an opportunity to explore. Okay, is this the thing for me, or do I need to make a little shift or
Gregg Berman: so? It's a time both to rest, but also
Gregg Berman: to expand at the same time into what? What is our truth?
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Yeah, I love that. How can I make this apply to me? Or what is the tweak? So that it's meaningful
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): for me? And it's a good reminder. As facilitators. We want to.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): We want our people to feel like that is very, that is not only permitted, but that is encouraged in the space.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): and in order for our people to feel that it's not just that we say it, but that really we're not attached to being the smartest person in the room, or the one that knows
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): everything.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): No
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): head.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Jessica saying in the chat, the explanatory pieces increase your motivation after hearing the explanation. You start wanting to apply it to myself. Yeah, that's that's the sneaky right? Like building desire.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): When you know we always wanna give reasons for in groups. In particular, we always wanna give reasons for everybody in the group to want to do the exercise. So part of the the explanation in the teaching is is building the the like. There's something in this for you. If you're willing to to stretch and do this.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Okay.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): what
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): are
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): some of the
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): pieces
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): practitioner-wise around boundaries
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): that
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): you're taking with you, that you want to be aware of
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): when you're working with clients
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): who wants to share this will start to kind of be. Serve you of what we've looked at. So what were some of the what was a concept that we looked at? That was important to you.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Jessica.
jessicakuznick: I'm not. I'm sorry I keep doing that. I really like the work that we did.
jessicakuznick: talking about the 2 extremes.
jessicakuznick: really thinking about. Where are our boundaries too rigid? And where are they too soft and weak?
jessicakuznick: Because I just think that helped
jessicakuznick: like just saying boundaries.
jessicakuznick: I don't know, for some reason just having that level of detail made it less provoking, too, like, I, I think, saying, Oh, you have bad boundaries, feels defensive, but saying like can easily make people, including me, feel defensive. But saying, like, you know, there's all these different places that boundaries can be.
jessicakuznick: and some of them might be to this way, and some might be to this way, and
jessicakuznick: there's just something very
jessicakuznick: empowering and beautiful about that, and
jessicakuznick: not as
jessicakuznick: not as Judgey. Somehow.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): I love that I hadn't thought of it that way. But I I agree with you 100 cause it's all on a spectr. It's all on the spectrum, right? So it's like we're already there, like a bound boundary is happening. But then but how do we want to move it to make it more aligned.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Good
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Tina.
Tina Dowdy: So many takeaways but yesterday in particularly when you said that
Tina Dowdy: research show that procrastination people procrastinate are actually over motivated
Tina Dowdy: that hit me so hard because
Tina Dowdy: it's true. I mean, cause I'm one of those people. I always thought it was because I was going into fight or flight. You know. That's why I'm procrastinating, but which it is. But I'd never looked at it from that perspective.
Tina Dowdy: It just made me feel more at ease
Tina Dowdy: with where it was coming from.
Tina Dowdy: you know.
Tina Dowdy: So thank you for that.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Yeah, you're so welcome. And I'm glad you're pulling this piece forward to right. That procrastinators are actually over motivated. They really want it. It's not that they're lazy, or that they don't want it at all
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): good. Who else?
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): What concepts are important
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): that you want to pull on
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): involve.
Inbal Sansani: From today, the
Inbal Sansani: that in many cases having a weak boundary is a form of neglecting a part of yourself. We're not protecting a part of yourself.
Inbal Sansani: that.
Inbal Sansani: Yeah, that it's like in.
Inbal Sansani: But then it's like getting to like, okay, so like, what is what is sacred that needs to be protected
Inbal Sansani: is a very different way of like.
Inbal Sansani: what are your needs? What are the goals in this relationship? Like, there's something.
Inbal Sansani: yeah, that feels like
Inbal Sansani: not just deeper, like something else that I don't have the
Inbal Sansani: yeah where it feels like a much like really like a
Inbal Sansani: a commitment to sell.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Yeah, I love how you put that. And it.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): I I agree. I mean, I love the language of boundaries and needs, or you know also, but it. It's another way of thinking of what a boundary is. It's it's
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): a way of protecting something that is sacred and precious, and it it does, it gives a different feeling to it.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Maria, I know it's late for you sending you love
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Kim.
Kim Davies: I like it's hard to let people be wrong about us. Where are we going to put our energy.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Such a Biggie.
Kim Davies: 7.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Right.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): and
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): what, how much more energy would we have in our lives
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): if we were okay with letting people be wrong about us?
Kim Davies: Yeah.
Kim Davies: it's important on.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Good.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): What other concepts?
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Caroline?
Caroline Holke: Just that
Caroline Holke: I don't have to take from somebody else
Caroline Holke: like that's that with the yoga pose, and
Caroline Holke: it's not violent. It's not aggressive. Necessarily, it's just
Caroline Holke: this protective bubble bubble, and
Caroline Holke: we can all have
Caroline Holke: space in the Yoga studio mats, or whatever.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Say we all have our own Matt.
Caroline Holke: Yeah.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): It's like whether the words ha were used or unspoken. There's something for so many of us of. If I'm gonna set a boundary I'm harming or encroaching upon someone else.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): That's actually not doesn't have to be true
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): at all.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Good.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Monique.
Monique: My practitioner take away is
Monique: the fun
Monique: and play in drawing.
Monique: So many of us are just so up here in our heads.
Monique: and it is such
Monique: a great opportunity to like. Okay, even though there's resistance in the drawing.
Monique: it's just an opportunity that maybe some of us don't have.
Monique: And I did it, and there were times when I didn't do it, or that I changed it from drawing to journaling, so just giving someone an opportunity to try it on. See if it's there's there's no means of perfection here. Whatever comes out is meant to come out and be.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Yes, yeah. I'm so glad you're pulling on that. And that was one of the the things that I wanted to come through, you know, for this retreat let we did a lot less journaling, but so so many of the drawings we did, it could could have been journaling questions.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): and I saw Melody wrote just wrote to that in the chat drawing is just another way of asking questions. Right? So and it can. It can help sometimes bring other feeling. We're we're in, sometimes the energy more. And then we create these archetypal images, sometimes from the drawing that can can
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): brain and energy with it.
Caroline Holke: And and just to add, under that, like the the point that you made about it does force you to slow down.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Yes.
Caroline Holke: Yeah, so it's fun. And it forced you to slow down. So.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Yeah, to actually be in it instead of, you know. Been there? Okay, said that answer, said that answer, but actually to be with it, which is what we want.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Nicole.
Nicole Harris: One of the big takeaways for me is, you know, just the simple reminder that my time is valuable. And you know, really, considering that graph paper image of
Nicole Harris: the 90 years of
Nicole Harris: weeks that we have. It was just such a motivation. So I'm leaving with a lot of motivation to
Nicole Harris: get stuff done.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Yes.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): I'm so glad that you're bringing that in for 2 reasons. One. Yes, everything you just said right. My time is valuable.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): The other reason is that you reminded me. I had wanted to say this before, and I forgot
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): one of our jobs
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): as practitioners
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): is to model
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Article
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): the wise warrior for our clients.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): and take a stand
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): for what is precious
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): to them.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Want to let that drop for a moment.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): So Nicole put it as like for herself. My time is valuable
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): as a practitioner
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): when we're working with a client who isn't protecting their time, who isn't upholding a boundary that we that they really want to. We want to hold the energy of your time is valuable.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): and we want to hold the energy of your time is valuable right as they integrate that for themselves.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Does that make sense?
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Kelly?
Kelly Lubeck (she/her): I feel like I'm taking away another level of the humanness of this work or the humanity of it. And just
Kelly Lubeck (she/her): again, being in this space as practitioner and student and client.
Kelly Lubeck (she/her): And
Kelly Lubeck (she/her): amongst, like many other really skilled and amazing people, I'm it's like every time I am blown away by how
Kelly Lubeck (she/her): and and I'm humbled by just like what it is to be a human on this path, and it just gives me such reverence, like speaking of sacred like. It just makes me feel like the work that we're doing in the world is so so sacred, and what we're protecting is like something so
Kelly Lubeck (she/her): precious, and these lives but like and again, just the ripple is like every one of us out there doing this work is like creating a different ripple into the universe. And
Kelly Lubeck (she/her): and it's like hard to human. And it's so beautiful. So I'm just. I'm really just taking away again
Kelly Lubeck (she/her): the
Kelly Lubeck (she/her): like the humility of walking this path, and it doesn't matter how far along you are like. You're still dancing with whatever. And it's just such a place of
Kelly Lubeck (she/her): seeing clients, or or like in practitioners, see like seeing them, is so whole and beautiful and perfect, and on their path, and with this opportunity for healing.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): So beautifully sad.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): and I couldn't agree more.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): And I know each of you hold in your own way spaces like this one. And really this world needs more spaces
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): like the ones that we all hold.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): because
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): exactly what of what Kelly said like because of the humanness in it.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): anything else around
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): the warrior work or exercises. As I said in the beginning yesterday, you're not kind of walking out with, just like one technique from this retreat, but a a more of an understanding and different entry points into supporting yourself and clients
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): with boundaries and ways of integrating so much of what we've learned over this year
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): in different ways.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Carlita, I want to give you an opportunity if you want any last words, because after this we're going to go into like final integration of the the program. And so you can. Not that I'm kicking you off, but you can hop off at that point, since you haven't been journeying with us for the year any any last words or takeaways that you want to share.
Karlita Nabours-Palermo: As usual, like being in any of these retreat spaces with you is just so
Karlita Nabours-Palermo: surprising and magical. And
Karlita Nabours-Palermo: yeah, there's just something about it. I'm really approaching it from just a personal perspective
Karlita Nabours-Palermo: this past year, much more than from a practitioner standpoint, although there's always it's always trickling in that direction. But it's always just like
Karlita Nabours-Palermo: I mean, it's changed my life like I was in the shadow retreat in March of 23. And
Karlita Nabours-Palermo: it's just been amazing to see how things have unfolded.
Karlita Nabours-Palermo: literally, very differently in in my journey because of this stuff. So it'll be very interesting to see
Karlita Nabours-Palermo: what unfolds from moving forth from from this. You know, I'm excited to
Karlita Nabours-Palermo: to bring that forward. And yeah, just see what happens. It's always so powerful.
Karlita Nabours-Palermo: So thank you for that, and thank you all for
Karlita Nabours-Palermo: including me in your
Karlita Nabours-Palermo: in your in your space. It's really cool to get to connect with all of you. And like I said earlier, just I wish I could have been with you this past year, just because it's it's like, Oh, look at this treat of a being in this one, and this one like
Karlita Nabours-Palermo: would have been cool to hang out all year.
Karlita Nabours-Palermo: Let me be with you this week.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Thanks, Carlita. I can't wait to see the magic that continues to move through, and I'm so glad you were able to make it
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): okay, even though I don't want to. It is time for us to move towards the finish line of advanced
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): 2023,
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): and
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): there is no way, even if we had, you know, 2, 3 h
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): to fully honor and write out all the different takeaways from the year, and you know it would never be enough time
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): and space for all that has changed and shifted and grown and been planted, and this things that have come to fruition, and the connections that have been made, and the the self compassion and the self love that has been that has grown and the action steps that have been taken. So
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): we're gonna we're gonna kind of
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): be to the point.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): But get hopefully, you know exactly what we need from this last stretch of time
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): and
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): start by just having you think back to when we started a year ago was last summer.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): and think about where your life was then.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): What was happening in your life. Summer of 2023,
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): and who you were.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Take a moment
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): and locate where you are now.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): and there are many things that may still be the same.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): and there are also many things that are different.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Think about what you've moved through in your life in general over this last year.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): And then
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): how that's been informed by the work that we've done, which, as I told you in the beginning, and I'm gonna say this again this whole year if we could.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): you know, say to me what I think it is in one phrase or sentence
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): is
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): a reclaiming
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): of
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): all the parts of yourself
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): whether we looked at befriending fear.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): or choosing your own journey, or the architable work and the dream work, the devil work, the shadow work.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): this work that we've done over these 2 days. All of it. It it there was so much to it, but at its core
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): it was about you
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): accepting, owning, loving more parts of you.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): and then bringing that
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): wisdom
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): to your clients.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): so that they can
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): own, accept, and love
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): more of who they are.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): and have more of themselves
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): to take action in the world.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): So from this place take a moment and jot down. How are you different?
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): What have you learned for yourself.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): What would you like to celebrate
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): that in the chat?
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): How are you different?
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): What have you learned for yourself?
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): What would you like to celebrate.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Jessica? I think we started in July, but now I can't remember.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): So we're not. We're not going to get everything. But give you another minute or 2. What are some of the important
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): things.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): And the How are you different? It might not be yet a complete transformation, right? Even if it seeds and next steps. It counts very, very, very much.
Karlita Nabours-Palermo: Was that last question.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Missing for the How are you different? It's not only just about a complete transformation, right? Even if it's if it's the next steps. If a year ago it wouldn't have even crossed your mind that you get to not have to struggle all the time. And now that is an idea that you are willing to believe that seems legitimate to you.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): That counts as a way that you're different.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): So take another half minute with that
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): pay.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): And so now I want to hone in a little bit more on the practitioner piece, and it would take, you know we'd be here for a very long time if we listed out all of the practitioner pieces that we've learned. So
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): what I want to ask instead, is this, this may have already came up through celebrations. But I want to ask specifically, what are some things from this last year
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): that you want to celebrate when it comes to client celebrations.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): or how you've shown up as a leader.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): And so what are at least.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): you know, 2 significant
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): client celebrations because of
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): either the skills
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): that you've been learning, or the energetics
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): and the wisdom
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): that you've been bringing.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Call them client or business celebrations.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Give you another half minute on that one.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Okay.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): so.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): with the understanding that everything you wrote down is really just a percentage.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): a fraction of all the ways that you've shown up.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): all that you've learned.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): all that has changed and has started to change and grow all of the devotion.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): I wanna give us all just an opportunity to honor
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): that we've continued to show up and to honor all of this, all of this in all the ways.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): honor everything you've written down, and more.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): And so if
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): if it's okay to close your eyes, close your eyes.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Let's take a moment and honor yourself
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): for being that
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): messy human who has continued to show up.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Honor yourself for all that you've moved through in this last year.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): all of the learning.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): all of the stretching.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): all of the hard, hard moments
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): this last year has brought
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): all of the beauty.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): And from this place, if there was one
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): sacred promise
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): that you wanted to make
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): for yourself, moving forward as we step out of this container.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): What is that sacred promise
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): to you.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Seal it in
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): when you're ready you can open your eyes.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): I wish Suzanne was still here. She had a headache earlier. But cause I'm putting the timer on, and we're gonna have each a minute
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): to share anything that you want to share. Biggest takeaway, sacred promise
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): whatever feels important
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): to you.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): I'll start at the bottom of the alphabet this time. So, Wendy, you're up first.
Wendy: Well, it's a lot here.
Wendy: it's a big change from where I was in the summer, and
Wendy: just
Wendy: learning that it's okay that things aren't perfect, and to grow. And just to start and move forward
Wendy: and show up and
Wendy: and just
Wendy: I am looking at the time. And just
Wendy: it's and it's okay to like.
Wendy: be confident and not copy
Wendy: and
Wendy: and I've done some things that were definitely out of my comfort zone this year, and I just my sacred promise is just to keep moving forward, learning
Wendy: and taking care of my little inner Wendy. So.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Yes, to all of that you have such a right to be confident. Yes.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Vlada.
Vlada Tomova: I love that I'm going after Wendy. She is one of my places to to be held. I'm so grateful for this community and for us being able to come together and share messiness in person and
Vlada Tomova: making some really beautiful friendships that, I hope will be growing. But the biggest thing is, I understand how to start being seen.
Vlada Tomova: which is, I have to see myself first.
Vlada Tomova: just really see myself and love myself, and have no judgment.
Vlada Tomova: and
Vlada Tomova: and that's the first step.
Vlada Tomova: really, just love, love that space, and everything comes from there.
Vlada Tomova: Yes.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): So profound right?
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Guys.
Vlada Tomova: Thank you.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Veronica.
Veronica Jensen: Celebrations. So I'm starting with, I have a client who started off in our engagement, not being able to own any of his own brilliance or feel. Okay, celebrating anything.
Veronica Jensen: He was in a workplace that didn't see or value him. His didn't have trust in his marriage. He's now about to graduate from our engagement, feeling like a whole different person, owning and celebrating all of his big and small accomplishments, transitioned into a totally different job. Who's valued him from day one, and he showed up how he he's changed, how he showed up in his marriage so much that it's just completely transformed their relationship.
Veronica Jensen: He's so centered and peaceful, and I'm so proud of the work that he's done, and that what we did together. So I'm celebrating, celebrating that.
Veronica Jensen: And just all of these connections, and the feeling of being held by you all in this container. I love and value you all so much. Thank you.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Love hearing that celebration. Yes, you're an incredible practitioner.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Tina.
Tina Dowdy: I love what Vlad is just said to be seen. You have to see yourself first, and I think that's what a lot of what happened with me since last July.
Tina Dowdy: I have taken really good inventory of all my success and my growth, because, truly, I was one of those people that just
Tina Dowdy: accomplished thing, and then went on to the next thing and
Tina Dowdy: had a hard time celebrating it at the moment to really take it in. And
Tina Dowdy: I have definitely
Tina Dowdy: come to a place where I'm owning my wisdom this year.
Tina Dowdy: and I'm shifting from that. Not that warrior energy is bad. I've had to have a lot of it like, probably even in utero. And
Tina Dowdy: I I feel like I'm just so
Tina Dowdy: ready to shift into that queen's
Tina Dowdy: seat, and I feel. That's where my transition is now.
Tina Dowdy: and part of that journey is I've niched down really. I see my! My time's up, but I niche down, and that's part of the journey.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): I see you already sitting on your throne.
Vlada Tomova: I'm.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Nicole.
Nicole Harris: I am
Nicole Harris: still not feeling all that? Well, so I don't have much to say right now. But I just wanna say, Thank you, Joanna, for
Nicole Harris: for modeling, how we can hold our own parts that are hurting and and suffering. And I'm just reminded
Nicole Harris: of how well you do it, how you know how how well you show us how to do it. And how that has been something that I'll be taking with me.
Nicole Harris: because that's some been a, you know, an area in which I've grown over the past year. So thank you, Joanna.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): So welcome, and it's incredible. It has just been a privilege to watch you move there more and more.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Monique.
Monique: Tears.
Monique: so many things to say. Not enough time.
Monique: My superwoman thanks you.
Monique: mama bear!
Monique: You are the energy that I have needed for so long.
Monique: and did I was missing it.
Monique: I think you have been a pillar of strength, an invisible pillar of strength in my life that I have not
Monique: probably used
Monique: so just thank you for for all of that. This has been a great community.
Monique: I have so many things to say, not enough time. I I'm just moving through a lot. I can be both crybaby, Sally, damsel, in distress and superwoman in the exact same breath.
Monique: and I think that's that's big, right there.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Yes, it's huge. You can, and you deserve to be supported and helped.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Michelle Ritter Taylor.
Michelle Ritter-Taylor: for a long time I've had this goal of being soft with myself
Michelle Ritter-Taylor: and all the things we work on and have worked on, and now I've done it for 2 years.
Michelle Ritter-Taylor: They're they're all the ways to bring in those parts of myself to be soft with
Michelle Ritter-Taylor: and
Michelle Ritter-Taylor: I'm totally. I'm totally different, and like my my sort of difference, besides being soft with myself, is like I'm less
Michelle Ritter-Taylor: chasing something outside of myself and more just being with myself.
Michelle Ritter-Taylor: and I really am able to bring that softness into my treatment room with when people are on my table and they're experiencing pain, they're
Michelle Ritter-Taylor: whatever's going on and just
Michelle Ritter-Taylor: working with them, to just soften a little bit.
Michelle Ritter-Taylor: and to and just to bring them into loving those parts of themselves that they really are not wanting to love, or maybe they can't love it at that moment, but they can at least entertain the notion that they don't have to hate it.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Yes, and it's been
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): incredible to watch you, Michelle, move more towards the softness
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): and the knowing that's what's inside of you accounts the most so, no doubt that that's coming out
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): in your work as well.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Thank you.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Michelle
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): C.
Michelle Cohen: I'm sort of at my capacity. And
Michelle Cohen: but I can tell that. The skills I gained this past year and and how what's how my practice looks is evidence
Michelle Cohen: that shifts and breakthroughs and transformation is happening.
Michelle Cohen: I'm just in the just
Michelle Cohen: in a process of healing a fractured part of myself that I realize today the sensitive one.
Michelle Cohen: So just healing that and and just feeling a little shame from my over share earlier and just being, and and and that's just me. Nothing that was
Michelle Cohen: from anyone. But that's part of my this healing the sensitive one.
Michelle Cohen: So just being present with that and and holding space for myself that I can go right after this into major dysregulation. But I won't.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Instead of one and all the ways that you're holding yourself.
Michelle Cohen: Thank you.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Melody.
Melody Noll: When we started a year ago, I was in complete and utter upheaval, with everything going on in my life.
Melody Noll: and now
Melody Noll: I have. I'm more settled. And I definitely kind of know where I'm going and what I want to do.
Melody Noll: And that has been
Melody Noll: really.
Melody Noll: primarily based on a lot of the things that we've done in this course. It brought together everything for me, and so I know where I'm going.
Melody Noll: and that has been. I have such grateful for this. Then there's been so much growth
Melody Noll: and healing.
Melody Noll: so much more self awareness and confidence and and acceptance and willingness to really go deep.
Melody Noll: huge curiosity and and a lot of courage, and no denial about going there and seeing just how it serves me.
Melody Noll: so grateful for that. I feel like a completely new person, and that there's hope which I also am trying to bring to others.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): And that part of you that is willing to say exactly what you're thinking.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Kim.
Kim Davies: I am when we started last year. That seem, it seems a very long time ago for me.
Kim Davies: and
Kim Davies: I was still
Kim Davies: wintering to the loss of my mother, and
Kim Davies: and I feel like I'm just just now like starting to come out of that and it's been
Kim Davies: quite the process, and I have
Kim Davies: feel like I've really grown in my visibility and
Kim Davies: participation, and I remember in sacred depth. I think I was so scared to share like every time
Kim Davies: I'm
Kim Davies: and so this loving community has been so wonderful, and it was so great to
Kim Davies: see each other in person. Half of you really grateful for the opportunity. And
Kim Davies: Joanna, thanks for holding so much space for us to grow and helping us
Kim Davies: here.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Jessica.
jessicakuznick: Oh, wait! Is Kelly.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Oh, I'm Miss Kelly. Sorry, Kelly.
Kelly Lubeck (she/her): Hey?
Kelly Lubeck (she/her): I don't quite have words right now, but I think the a really big like overarching thing is
Kelly Lubeck (she/her): feeling that my care and love for the world fits in the space of care and love for myself as well.
Kelly Lubeck (she/her): And I. This has been such a year and some ways. I felt taken to my knees in this space, and the friendships here, and the incredible facilitation that you've done, Joanna have just like held me in a way that feel like it's really making space for up leveling the community around me and my hopes and expectations for the kind of relationships that I can have
Kelly Lubeck (she/her): and I am celebrating big shifts with clients and the ways that I'm working with them that I like get excited about resistance now, and and launching a really kick ass program to a very tiny group. But we are like moving it forward and leading a lot of people through friend Europe, and my keynote, and and celebrating my queen, bitch and boundaries, and joy and magic.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Yes, yes, to all of that.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Jessica.
jessicakuznick: Yeah, I think
jessicakuznick: the biggest thing is
jessicakuznick: in the last year. I feel like I'm
jessicakuznick: embodying
jessicakuznick: my inner leader. And
jessicakuznick: I just I mean, I don't know how much is different on the outside. Well, actually, a lot is different. But but I think what feels really different is
jessicakuznick: just that I feel
jessicakuznick: like I'm not standing to the side of that person. I feel much more like it's inside of me, and that I can call on it both at at work and with my kids.
jessicakuznick: And you know, I think that this happened to coincide with a leadership development track that I put myself on through my job that
jessicakuznick: it just synced up really? Well, and I'm now going on a retreat next week for my job. So, although the job is now only 3 HA week, so I'm also not doing my job, which is perfect.
jessicakuznick: so that's it.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Really I I can feel that for you that
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): it's almost like you've synced up with yourself
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): in a much deeper way.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): involve.
Inbal Sansani: I think in the last year
Inbal Sansani: like, I'm really honoring my
Inbal Sansani: ability to
Inbal Sansani: like hold so much complexity.
Inbal Sansani: And compassion.
Inbal Sansani: Or it's like, you know, there's this whole theme of belonging, when.
Inbal Sansani: like, I'm taking actions and doing things that are.
Inbal Sansani: you know, like ostracizing myself and getting myself shut out with, like
Inbal Sansani: the family, like the original systems.
Inbal Sansani: And so I found so much
Inbal Sansani: like courage and clarity.
Inbal Sansani: and myself, and so much
Inbal Sansani: fucking discomfort, and I think that's one of the things with my family. It's like I'm scared, too.
Inbal Sansani: So I'll just honor that.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Big, and
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): and I feel like it gets to the heart of so much of what you've been working on these 2 days to just like next level of it, having that courage
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): to not belong to
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): and know that you're okay.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Greg.
Gregg Berman: I'm celebrating
Gregg Berman: the
Gregg Berman: permission I've given myself to show up and be seen, and
Gregg Berman: it's something that I've
Gregg Berman: I've always done for my clients, and I've had on a conceptual cognitive level in me. But now it's a more embodied engage level where it's like, okay, I don't have to have all the answers to show up. I don't have to know how to do it. And I can.
Gregg Berman: I can start, and I can. I can be excited about quote mistakes or missteps, and I can I can be excited about how great I show up at times. And and
Gregg Berman: a
Gregg Berman: really a
Gregg Berman: really taking actions, whether that's in in how I show up for clients, or how I'm showing up in my writing, or anything else in my life.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Yes.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): and when you said.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): giving yourself the permission to be seen, the first thing that flashed to me, Greg, was you being willing to read your archetype evocation to us, and just being in so much of your power and brilliance, and letting us see you
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): and all of that.
Gregg Berman: Thank you.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Diva.
Deva Munay: I just want to thank everybody so much for this sacred space together. And this community.
Deva Munay: Just so much has unfolded from
Deva Munay: all of the this group, and then also the facilitation
Deva Munay: or the life changing courses which so many people were in.
Deva Munay: Just a deep bow to you, Joanna, for modeling, holding space and containers and groups, and
Deva Munay: for so much love and so much integrity in the way that
Deva Munay: you've enabled all of us to grow and learn.
Deva Munay: and

Caroline Holke: group of people. It's a special place to be, for sure.
Caroline Holke: I've learned so much. Lots of seeds have been planted.
Caroline Holke: I don't know where they're gonna go, necessarily. And that's okay.
Caroline Holke: And
Caroline Holke: yeah, I think that's
Caroline Holke: it's really it in a nutshell. Thank you.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Thing about the way you just said I don't know. And that's okay. That reminded me of your shadow that you were working with.

Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): each of you for all that you have brought, and
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): for as much as each of you have received. I have also received equally as much

Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): So. Thank you. You. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
