Participant Interviews & Stories

It’s been two weeks since my time at Bohemian Preserve, and while I’m not sure that’s enough time to say definitively that the experience changed my life, it certainly feels that way. I came in deeply burned-out and disconnected and blocked, and I left recharged, restored and #Ready2LoveAgain. I left with skills to stay open and present and grounded, and a new network of people who in some ways I now know better than some of my best friends. It’s an incredibly deep and powerful experience packed into a short time in an amazing place that I am confident will remain a safe space in my heart, in my soul and in my now much more vibrant dreamscape. I am already planning my next journey with the magical people at Ecology of Awakening.

I’ve always had the feeling that there was something more – a way of being in this world, a manner of relating to others and to the natural world, a role for me in the unfolding of this great transformation that we seem to be alive for at this time in history. But I couldn’t figure it out, that is, until I participated in EOA. Remarkably, I now understand what is being asked of me. And my focus has made this wonderful shift — to opening my perceptual field, to connecting, to working for future generations. Now I am excited about my membership in the human community at this incredible time of unfolding on our planet.
