Let’s Talk about Your Big Idea
“Virtue of character leads to human flourishing, prosperity and blessedness.”
~ Platonic Academy
Maybe you feel something stirring within, but are not yet sure how to hear it, trust it, believe in it. Or maybe you have a dream, a passion, a scathingly brilliant idea, but you wonder how to make it real. If so, this Retreat is for you.
We believe that soulful, conscious people bringing their hearts alive and their visions to fruition are what the world needs now more than anything. That helping you bring your dreams alive, brings the whole world more alive. That helping you see more clearly, believe more fully and map out a solid path will bring forth the heart of something true and real and powerfully needed in our times. At the very least, it will create a community of support, of cheerleaders, of yes men and women to spu you on to be what you have come here to be. In that, we all rise.
