Camp Courage: Redefining The Comfort Zone
How many social media posts have you seen saying “Life Begins At The End of Your Comfort Zone”?
What if I told you that your Comfort Zone doesn’t need to have an “end”?
What if you learned to become comfortable with being uncomfortable, thus simply making it another another space inside of your Comfort Zone?
At Camp Courage, we don’t want you to “leave” your Comfort Zone…we want you to expand your Comfort Zone!
Our Comfort Zones represent safety and familiarity. Once we face the unknown, and our fear of it, it then becomes known territory. When we know something from experience, familiarizing ourselves with it, we can then expand our Comfort Zone to include this new “space” we have just created for ourselves. Why retreat back to our old idea of the Comfort Zone, when we can plant our flag in virgin soil and claim new territories in our mindset?!
Join me for a weekend of real, meaningful life transformation in the scenic foothills of Western Maine!
September 10th-13th, 2021
The Foundation.
Everyone wants to experience the magic of life transformation, but first…we must do the work! 2 of the 3 nights, you will have the opportunity (weather permitting) to cast aside your fears and experience the ancient ritual of firewalking. Each afternoon, we gather together to build the wooden pyre upon which we will burn away the unnecessary & burdensome pieces of our old selves that no longer serve our greatest good. With each piece of wood we put in place, we imagine offering up a part of ourselves that we are ready to free from. With each gift that we place on the pyre, we give thanks to The Mother for Her gifts, and The Universe for the blessings that we are about to receive.
Unlearn and Expand.
“Don’t touch that, it will burn you!” As young children, we are taught that fire burns. What happens when you experience something that contradicts what you think you know to be an absolute truth? Your mind expands. New neural pathways are created. With repetition, these new neural pathways help lay the groundwork for new thought & behavioral patterns. During the firewalk, you will be encouraged to walk as many times as you wish. With every step you take, you will be opening yourself up to unlearning old truths and being open to learning new ones. Even if you choose not to walk, simply watching other people do so will create a similar effect within your mind.
What other activities will there be?
Nature.
Every day of Camp will offer a chance to connect with, and play in, nature. From Nocturnal Night Walks to a Sunrise Hike, there will be ample opportunities to strengthen your connection to The Sacred Mother.
The Mother has much to offer, and much to teach. The wisdom and love that She offers, and what She chooses to whisper to each camper, will surely be unique. Come find out what lessons She has for you!
Redefining The Comfort Zone.
Death. It is unavoidable. Yet, this ultimate truth about life, is a subject which most people avoid at all costs. At Camp Courage, each camper will have the opportunity to explore what it means to come to terms with their own death. The metaphorical implications of death, such as shedding our old ways of life, in order to live more fully. As well as physical death, with a workshop that opens the door to accepting that life is finite, and the profound beauty and peace contained within that acceptance.
