Last week I had the opportunity to attend Soul Camp, a 5-day sleep away camp for adults near Fresno, CA. 180 beautiful souls - men and women of ages 21 to 75 and of all races, came together for a week of fun and healing.
The founders, Ali and Michelle, both went to summer camp when they were younger, and wanted to create the camaraderie of camp for adults, infused with spirituality and personal development. Each day there were five sessions, with at least six classes to choose from in each session. There were delicious meals and plenty of opportunities for bonding and development, such as bonfires, a talent show and and a relay race.
It's hard to describe how beautiful and profound the experience was. I made three incredible breakthroughs in my personal development and feel like a different, more grounded person now. I went horseback riding for the first time in ten years. I learned SUP Yoga (another blog post to come). I made deep and authentic bonds with friends that would have taken years to develop in the "real world." I stood in my personal power more than I ever have before.
I am so grateful for this experience and have already bought my ticket for next year. I am anxious about going back to my job tomorrow now that I have experienced another way of living, but know that my friends will be there for me and that the lessons will stay with me.
