Jane Brewer - Outdoor Enthusiast
Dissolving Limiting Beliefs
It was such an eclectic and fun group of people to have this experience that Alaska with, I sometimes shy away from experiences like this because I don't consider myself to be a natural extrovert.
Surprisingly it was fun to get outside of my little bubble, my comfort zone, meet new people, the excitement of watching people catch fish and cheering each other on and having a muddy, rainy few days at the cabin.
And just, it was so cool to watch people have these unique experiences, I love being outside, it's part of my everyday life in Colorado, but just to see it from fresh eyes, and be someplace new to me, it was just a big adventure.
I think the most transformational thing about being here in Alaska with everybody was just realizing that all the junk that floats through my mind day to day, isn't always unique to me.
It was a really powerful experience to be in such an intimate space with a group of women who created a safe container to really become vulnerable to talk about some of the things that live in the crevices of our mind. I realized that sometimes we don't see ourselves clearly and it was really amazing to have the feedback from this group of people who I really have grown to love and admire over the course of the last five days.
A lot of really cool growth has happened, I look forward to and I'm hopeful for having an experience of just more joy in my life every day.
And to start to relinquish, the gripping and the control and the worry over stuff that isn't really under my control anyways. And, you know, we were talking earlier about, you know, the time we spend worrying doesn't count as time we spend working. That was big. And I think I just really look forward to having a lighter experience of life and not carrying all that garbage around.
I think for people who have done this type of thing in the past, why wouldn't you keep doing it, you know, I'm not the same person that I was. When we come back to do this next time, it might be super weird that there's gonna be different people here. But I think that it just brings a new dynamic and new perspectives on things. There's never not something that you can learn about or grow on or work on for yourself. Each experience is different. I'm not the kind of person that would ever stop doing this and say, "Well, I did this once. I grew once but I'm not going to do it again."
There's some moments in your life that almost seem surreal. Like we were pedaling that bike around anchorage and just rocking out to the music and it's like, "Oh my gosh, I'm here, this is my life."
It's so incredible that when you just walk through the open door, that really amazing things happen. And I feel like I'm just going home with lifelong friends who I have a really deep connection with after only a few days and there's always going to be a bedroom for people and in Colorado to come visit you.
