Hi, my name is Rachel and I’m obsessed with how the sun changes colors. It’s surreal, or maybe hyper real. And these colors? They’re actually for real #nofilter✨

I’m also, you know, all the other things: continuously surprised by life, delighted by being in Greece and feeling and tasting what it feels like to travel again, oh so optimistic (perhaps naively or blindly or overly) that everything is going to turn out okay in the end.

Leading retreats has the ability to crack you open just as much as being on them, as I’ve discovered, as I am continuing to discover. And really? I am filled to the brim with gratitude at this magnificent group of humans who came all the way to Santorini and trusted @lesant and @teodoyogaguitar and me to create and orchestrate a Grecian experience as a punctuation point at the tail end of a few very strange years for humanity.

Per usual, my thoughts feel scattered and I think I’ll be able to make more sense of it all in hindsight, but then again, maybe not. Maybe what’s really, really real is golden hour and each passing day and the willingness to allow the world to continue to crack me open and let light in.
