This past weekend, a remarkable group of human beings gathered in the woods near North Oxford, Massachusetts, for the Dragon Training.
Over three days, they faced fears they had carried for years, spoke truths that had long gone unspoken, and stepped into a deeper relationship with their own strength. They laughed, cried, challenged one another, and discovered new possibilities for their lives.
As we packed up on Sunday afternoon, we were reminded why we continue offering this work.
Again and again, we witnessed people transforming the life-denying energy of fear into the life-affirming energy of self-authorship. That is the heart of the Dragon Training.
The Dragon isn't something to conquer or stifle. It's an ancient symbol of the immense life-force within each of us. When we stop running from what we fear and learn to meet it consciously, the energy once consumed by avoidance becomes available for courage, creativity, connection, and purposeful action.
We're grateful to everyone who entrusted us with their journey this weekend.
If you look at the photo, you'll see more than smiling faces. You'll see people who were willing to turn toward something difficult and who left carrying more of themselves home.
