Our intention for the week is to connect with people and ideas through an exploration of joy, inspiring action on behalf of the greater good.

A little more than an hour’s winding, curvy drive from the San Diego Airport to the border town of Tecate, Mexico, we arrived at the Ranch on the last Saturday of March for the first-ever Gathering of Joy.

I finally get it. What Joy is to me today is so different than before we started this journey to The Gathering of Joy.

A little over a week out from the Gathering of Joy and I’m still feeling the effects. And, I will for quite some time. The experience was a lot of things to me, but the things that resonated the most were the people and the pillars.
