A NOTE from KIMBERLY

Several years ago I was suffering from back and hip pain, had had two foot surgeries, was struggling in my marriage, knew my career had to change, and my son had left for college and I missed him so much. Then I almost bled to death. It was a bumpy couple of years and I wondered if I would ever dance again, or be able to backpack, or well…feel in love with life again. There were days it was hard to get out of bed, but even on my darkest days, I had a deep sense of faith, trust, and knowing that it would be ok. And it is!

Today, I am back in love with life and so very grateful to share with you some of the tools I used to get here. In a world filled with unprecedented challenges—global warming, pandemics, wars, social strife, and political extremism—it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and disconnected. But even in the midst of individual suffering and global crises, it’s possible to find joy, purpose, and love for life.
Join me in what can be a transformative journey designed to help you fall (back) in love with life, no matter the circumstances. I hope to see you soon!

xx, Kimberly
