Campfire Coaching: A Reflection

Over a weekend earlier this month I had the honor of hosting the inaugural run of Campfire Coaching with 11 amazing women.

What's difficult to put into words is best captured below.

Sit by the water

You'll find peace there.

New Friends

connection = magic

The Fire Circle

We sat here to chat, connect, coach, chill, and get quiet. And make s'mores.

Our Tents

Sleeping in the woods doesn't get any better than this.

Archery

Rediscover how bad-ass you are.

Be Silly

Because we need more of that.

Morning view

There's Coffee Down Below.

Release Control

Nature teaches you amazing things about how to become neutral in the face of those things you have ZERO control over.

Get Creative

Play, draw, glue, cut, color.

Disconnect

Who are you when you have nothing to do?

Rediscover

What is that thing you love to do but haven't chosen for yourself in a while? Rediscover it here.

Get Quiet

It's amazing what you here when you finally listen. Also: kayaking.

Slow Down

When was the last time you REALLY just laid around? Do you even remember what that's like?

Resilience

You haven't yet seen the depth of your strength.

The Campfire Coaching Post Office

Because mail is the BEST.

Let. It. Go.

You don't have to hold on to that THING anymore.

Love Notes

Mornings

Gather, reflect, share, inspire. Amazing things happen here.

Coffee by the Fire

Simple pleasures.

Listen

You have powerful stories to share.

Find yourself

in the outdoors.

Take Time

Be with others. 

Let your Thinking flow again

Eat Well

This is the Dining Room where we have the most amazing meals and conversation.

WHAT WE LEARNED

The power of Campfire Coaching rests in both your experience of being outdoors AND in the insights you have while in that quiet and centered place. One insight can change EVERYTHING and this is a small collection of what has come up for previous campers:

WE'RE FINE, BECAUSE WE'RE TOGETHER.

---

I CERTAINLY RECEIVED FAR MORE THAN I WAS SEEKING.

---

WHEN I COME UP AGAINST SOMETHING THAT'S TOUGH I USUALLY PUNK OUT. BUT THIS WEEKEND I DIDN'T. I FOLLOWED THROUGH EVEN WHEN I THOUGHT I WAS LOST.

---

I'M CARRYING CONTENTMENT WITH ME.

---

IT'S ALL ABOUT BALANCE. YOU NEED SUPPORT TO RESTORE BALANCE - EVEN IN A CANOE.

THIS WEEKEND WASN'T ABOUT DOING ANYTHING. IT WAS ABOUT BEING IN A DIFFERENT WAY.

---

WHEN I LET MYSELF DO IT, I DID IT.

---

I NEED MORE OF THIS LIFE FOR MYSELF.

---

I CAN BE BORED AND NOT ANXIOUS.

---

I SPEND SO MUCH TIME TRYING TO CONTROL ALL OF THESE THINGS THAT I'VE REALIZED I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER. FINDING NEUTRALITY EVEN WHEN THINGS AROUND ME DON'T CHANGE FEELS SO MUCH BETTER.
