Seems we need more connection in these very hard and trying days. With being constantly boarded by the media it’s difficult to calm and center oneself around peace and community gatherings. Looking forward to your retreat in June.

I totally agree. In fact, I hope to host an online gathering next month. Stay tuned!

Ah, when I saw the poll, I was like "I definitely need more stillness!" Then "oh, wait, it's probably more creativity that will help." So I told myself to listen in and be really honest and I ended up pressing the "more connection" option and seeing it's the majority of us.

It's weird though, because our world has arguably never been more connected. But we are really lacking the sustainable and nourishing connections which have been taken over by the fleeting moments of likes here and there

I love that you paused and gave yourself the opportunity to 'listen in' - stillness in action! It's so true that the fleeting moments of likes here and there have taken over. This poll does reflect our need for connection and your comment has definitely given me pause and has helped in my planning. Thank you for this valuable input Milena.

I love how much I learn and how motivating, encouraging and supportive all of your courses that I've taken were Kathy. I feel like your course title is perfect that we gather together for connection and we either pause to learn or reflect or be creative from our busy worlds. I can't wait to see what you have in store for us next.

And! I want to know how to get on that roller coaster!

Curious poll results: we don't want stillness; we want people & creating!

Hi Diane, very curious indeed! Sounds like it might be time to plan an online creative workshop.

Great minds think alike, Kathy *&* enjoy waycoolawesome amusement park rides. The tallest one I ever went on was 6 Flags.

Wouldn't this make a great bucket list: travel the world & ride the roller coasters! Once you start looking there they are!
