I came to YDC after finishing a degree knowing I needed a balance of learning in life before going on to a Masters. What I found was a spiritual home and a place that supports me. I learned that this mind can work and create in ways I didn’t know where there, and that I can step out of survival industrial mode and into the moment of wonder. There is something to be said about spending 3 months with a wide variety of strangers, and that through daily shared truth telling and challenging social constructs of self, there is a knowing we have of one another. That we have been seen and share in our belief of being in this world in a meaningful way. What I learned is the work doesn’t stop, there is no arriving and it is done, and this is both the challenge and the gift. Warm regards universe, warm regards 🙂
