Then we moved to the next set of islands.

I love the spirit and energy at Slow Burn and the pax didn’t disappoint. Lots of mumblechatter and laughs for 45 mins. Not only is this season dark, cold and heavy but the general tone in the world seems the same. Grateful to see the pax take timeout to celebrate and identify an area of light in their life.
We’re called to be the light amid the darkness. Go light the way men!
Thanks Peach Stand and congrats on 3 yrs in the Gloom!
