Why Retreats Work: Disconnection, Body Wisdom, and the Science of Letting Go
About this episode
The episode explores the barriers to self-connection and the importance of community and intuition in personal growth.
What gets in the way of feeling connected to ourselves — and what does it actually take to come back? In this episode I'm joined by Marybeth Donahoe, yoga teacher and retreat leader, for a conversation about the societal and neurological forces that pull us out of alignment, the yoga tradition's model of unification across mind, body, and heart, and why intuition isn't woo — it's your body's accumulated intelligence asking to be heard. We also talk about how psychological safety and community create the conditions for genuine change, and how Marybeth and I found each other and started building something together. This is Part 1 of a two-part conversation. Part 2 covers the retreat itself, who it's for, and what we hope women carry home.
