allow yourself to slow down
and notice what's happening in your
experience
again with the first skill being the
skill of awareness
good morning
you made it back
didn't know
um
so today we've got a couple quick things
we're gonna do
and we are
uh we're gonna do a quick little
reflection exercise because
this is the last day
so we've got a little bit more time with
our tribe and so it's a really good time
to check in with yourself
to see how this is going
and then we're going to do an exercise
that's going to take what we did
yesterday and
ramp up the intensity just a little bit
gulp
so
to get started
let's have everybody go ahead and close
your eyes
and take a deep breath in
and exhale
take another deep breath in
with an audible exhale
do one more of those deep breath in
and let it go this time
and allow yourself
to slow down this morning
allow yourself to slow down
and notice what's happening in your
experience
again with the first
skill being the skill of awareness
noticing what thoughts you're thinking
noticing what emotions you're
experiencing
and noticing what's happening in your
body
and as you're doing this
i want you to remember
back to when you got here
and when you first registered
for the experience
remember what it was like remember what
you felt
remember if it was
exciting if you were eager
if you were nervous
and remember
why you came here in the first place
what it is that you're wanting
and then imagine
remembering your time through the
experience remembering the talks
remembering what stood out to you
noticing what didn't
remembering the dinners the
conversations
and the parties last night
and just for a moment reflect yourself
of what's
going well for you this weekend
what's really working
and think about
if there's anything that isn't working
is there any part of you that's feeling
challenged stretched
lonely or connected
allowing yourself to just be with
whatever experience it is that you're
having
taking another deep breath in
and out
another deep breath in
and out
one more deep breath in
and
down when you're ready go ahead and open
your eyes
and find your partner
for the first sentence step
first sentence stem this morning what we
want to do is we want to give you a
chance to actually share with somebody
what the experience is like for you
what's working and what isn't and so
this is your chance to share anything
that's going for you or if there's
anything you're struggling with with
somebody so um
the the sentence stem for the person
with the bigger thumb who's going to
start i know
i know i get
self-conscious of my thumbs too it's
it's okay
person with the biggest thumb
listening hands up thank you your
sentence them
my experience so far has been
blank you have 30 seconds go
and switching it up and remembering
you're in a community where you can be
real
if you're challenged if you're
struggling you don't have to hide it
if you're rocking it you don't have to
hide it
switching it up my experience so far has
been blank 30 seconds
go
giving your partner a sign of
acknowledgement a fist bump a hug a
handshake and going back to your sheets
i want to take a moment and i want to
hear i want to just get some voices in
the space so you can hear
some of your friends and what's
experiencing what people are
experiencing and how things are going so
far so is anybody having a big
experience from this weekend did they

yeah yeah okay
hi everyone
so the
this year i didn't come with anything in
mind and i just wanted to connect that's
all i wanted to do i just wanted to
connect and what's ending up happening
is
well eric said something in a in a
speech and he and here's my little angel
or butterfly wings and he said that the
the butterflies have the misfortune
of their vision not being able to see
their own wings so they never see how
beautiful they are
and other people see the beauty and i've
had so many people resonating
especially people that have followed my
journey since my first reunion telling
me that
they're seeing the changes they're
seeing the shine they're seeing the
bravery and the courage and something
that's coming up in me is my gratitude
is so big that it's shaking off any
little bits of me that i thought were
gone and i feel like
everything's cracking and just falling
to the ground and i'm walking forward
thank you
thank you thank you
we've got about 30 seconds left for one
more share
right there
all right come right out in the center
we got a mic for you
oh
oh you want to come up here david yes
i wanted to
you know you have 20 seconds oh you got
to make so quick just so you guys know
and most of you know my sister died on
thursday and i could have gone home and
i really wanted to run and i stayed here
and you all have come up to me and loved
me and held me and hugged me
when everything is falling apart in my
darkest hour mind valley has shown up
for me this tribe has given me
a new way to live and i'm so
grateful thank you
[Applause]
man
so
we're short on time i have to rap but i
just want to
reaffirm the potency
uh that happens when you surround
yourself with people
where you can just be real and you can
just be yourself and you don't have to
hide anything
and i think that's one of the things
that makes mind valley so unique
so it's been a pleasure to be with you
all thank you guys this morning
thank you
you
