Winter 2021 | Surrender

Surrender is not waving a white flag or giving up.

It is not opting out of the game. It is leaning in and playing fully with deep trust that more is possible than you can see or imagine from your current perspective. Surrender opens us up to the Abundant Good that is available to us.

SUMMER 2022 | VIRIDITAS
