What About This Bring Me Joy?

I asked my friend Heather Vickery | Joy Warrior today if I could share about my January sailing trip with our Joy Reclaimed group. She answered that "yes", I could, if I do it in a way that describes how creating these trips brings me joy, in keeping with the purpose of that group.

That is such a great way to consider.

And I know my reason. Building group experiences brings joy. I am so joyful when groups meet for the first time, as they come together, sharing time, getting to know one another, being together.

There, such beauty and great potential when people connect and discover joy, laughter, through slowing down, checking in with oneself, honoring the self within, to be able to give to more fully others.

It is a joyful adventure to hold this space, to allow for the possibilities and be there to support the unfolding.

That very first meeting is exciting – all the new energy. The potential for what the group will experience together. Each group is totally unique – never gathering in the same way again. That is something. That we are all here, just those who are meant to be.

The January 2027 Star Clippers sailing adventure is the one I was asking to share about. This is a self-care retreat on the Caribbean Sea! A unique voyage that takes place onboard Star Clippers Royal Clipper, a Tall Ship. This sailing ship is the tallest of its kind still in operation.

We will sail under wind power through the Grenadines, with stops in Barbados, Tobago Cays, St. Lucia, and Martinique. I have designed for us to have amazing wellness guides on board who will lead classes in physical and mindful practices including qigong, yoga, meditation, and writing as heart medicine.

I am so excited to create and then be part of these group trips. I am excited at the idea for others join in and experience it. It brings me such joy to have people travel together, sharing incredible and life-giving experiences.

I will say, the one part I am less jazzed about, it is this: working to share the details to bring along others to join in! How to reach the people who are meant to be onboard?

That is why I asked dear Heather to share. Ya never know who speaks with whom and how someone may find out about it. And even from reading this, maybe it is you who wants to come aboard? If so, please act on that and reach out. ; )

I am excited and hopeful for this group to form.

Ahoy, mates ⛵
