Personal Message from Mena

Hi friends!

I've been wanting to write an update regarding me and The Florrest for a while and I just wrote this message.

Being immersed in nature, I have a heightened awareness of the seasons within me.

Since November, I experienced a ‘winter’ of my own. 

I recognized that I truly loved guiding the teams I got to lead through retreats in 2024. It felt like the integration of my life experiences in corporate and wellness!

I cherish being able to create safe environments, truly listen, and create experiences that allow the individuals to organically go deeper into their own nature, and learn how to flow more harmoniously as a team. 

Instead of going out to do more of that, I paused. 

I went within to create the standard operating procedures (SOPS) for The Florrest with my VA so that we can be organized, set up the business in a way that I can delegate and scale, manage my time, and location freedom. 

Wow! That took longer than we thought.

On the collaborator side, I opened up to connect with more facilitators to know them better and be able to hire for specific retreats and events. 

I’ve been able to see the bigger picture. The eco-system that is dear to my heart!

A nature sanctuary that brings together heart-centered souls:

Wellness facilitators: being supported to gather and lead their communities in nature;

Teams: being held to integrate wellness to thrive and create impact; and

Local community: finding a space of belonging and connection with each other and nature.

It’s dynamic! It’s expansive. I couldn’t constrain it to anything else. 

These months made me realize how much I missed hosting the events for local community, how much I treasure the retreat leaders that host their retreats here, and how guiding teams is really a passion that I am excited about. 

I was going to host a retreat that was carried forward from last year... and I dug deeper within and created a more aligned experience for where we are headed. We will be announcing this soon!

I’m all IN AND moving organically with a supportive foundation. 

The spring has been springing and we will be sharing our newsletter with you tomorrow!

Check in to learn about opportunities to join an event, sign up to retreats, explore collaboration, book the venue to lead your retreat or host a gathering!

Thank you for being a part of this community!

I couldn’t do it without you.

Grateful,

Mena
