Yes, I enrolled in a 6 month Leadership Training with 9 others from around the country that culminates in 5 days of Hiking Machu Picchu.

What I have and continue to experience and learn has been far beyond my expectations….. how do I best explain for you to FEEL the growth and experience? Read the following from Jamin, co-Founder of Align, Marathon and Mountains;

Hi Bob

Have you ever felt overwhelmed by emotions that just won’t budge? 

Maybe they show up as those heavy, dense feelings that often feel impossible to shake: shame, guilt, attachment, or fear. 

I know that weight. 

The past year has been one of the most challenging of my life. At times, I wanted to push it all away through exercise, food, social media, distractions that seemed harmless. But I made a different choice. I chose to feel it all. 

And in choosing to feel, I expanded my capacity to hold more. More intensity. More depth. More life.

Here’s what that looks like for me:

I slow down. I breathe into the emotion. I feel it. I give it space. I validate it. I allow it. I bring compassion to it. I say, “Fair enough. This experience is valid.”

And then, I let it move however it wants to move. Maybe through breath. Maybe through movement. Maybe through sound. Slowly, with consistency over time, I arrive at a place of perspective and, ultimately, forgiveness.

This practice has strengthened my resilience, deepened my self-trust, and brought me to a place of true peace with my past.

Holding on to the past, whether that be regret, unprocessed emotions, or stories that no longer serve you, only weighs you down. But learning to process and move emotions? That’s where true freedom begins.

Big love from Guatemala,
