“Before the adventure I was nervous about fitting in & my ability to complete the ride. But I was open and prepared to experience discomfort.

Now I feel capable, strong, grounded, loved, seen, held, supported & valued. The adventure brought me back to an inner knowing that I am enough as I am; that my tribe can be attracted with ease; and that playfulness is never far away”
