  • Good morning! I woke up feeling so fucking awesome and powerful this morning. That’s honestly the most inspiring retreat I’ve been on. A friend asked how it went. I responded “they crushed it” 

  • Thank you so much for this weekend. Honestly, it’s tough to put it into words. I will say that it was unlike anything I have ever experienced. The trust and support that was built in such a short time was pretty unreal. Your guidance allowed us to look deeply at our relationships with ourselves and others. You encouraged us to take action, to move with courage, in effect empowering us to change our lives in real time. The experience and systems to approach living my values, leaning into tension and defining the man I will become will have a lasting impact. From the whispers of care to the rally cries of empowerment, your leadership and facilitation was on another fucking level. It drove the experience and I can’t thank you enough. I’m so very grateful to be a part of Junto and inspired to do the work. Fuck yeah!

  • Starting a company 5 years ago began the most difficult journey of my life. Although it ended well from a business sense, it is easy to underestimate the long term effect taking that risk has had on relationships in my inner circle - both inside the company and out. With a recent personal loss, the Junto retreat was ideally timed to bring my perspective back to present and reset my engagement with the important people in my life and how I go forward. Living with integrity in all facets of life is a challenge to us all but Junto gave me to tools and the confidence to follow that path which has already led to stronger relationships, deeper connections, and a more peaceful mind to be ready for the next challenge.” 

  • It's truly remarkable how much a person can transform in just one weekend, and Alex's journey after attending Junto is nothing short of inspiring. When he returned, he emerged as an outstanding gentleman, embodying qualities that have enriched our relationship in profound ways. One of the most noticeable changes has been in his emotional intelligence. Alex now possesses an innate ability to understand, empathize, and connect on a deeper level. This heightened emotional awareness has served as the cornerstone of our relationship, allowing us to navigate the complexities of life with grace and understanding.

    Alex's unwavering integrity and dedication to our relationship have been nothing short of exceptional since his return. His commitment to honesty and authenticity has opened my mind to a world of trust and vulnerability, creating a safe space where we can openly share our thoughts and feelings.

    In this journey of transformation, Alex has become a more compassionate, understanding, and rational partner. His newfound emotional depth has added a beautiful layer of richness to our relationship making it stronger, more fulfilling and more connected than ever before.

    Watching Alex blossom into the remarkable man he is today has been a truly beautiful experience. His growth, both emotionally and personally, has illuminated the path to a deeper connection and a love that continues to flourish. I couldn't be more grateful for the positive changes he has brought into our lives since Junto.
