This is something I wrote to the folks who just attended Ski to Live last weekend. It was an incredible group and an incredible experience:
These clinics always feel, to me, like having been at a really good movie. You lose yourself in it, you're not even aware of your previous existence anymore- where you are or who you were- during the event, until it's over and the lights come up and you blink once or twice and then remember. But like all good movies, you're transformed afterwards, from having experienced another reality besides the familiar. This time the movie lasted almost 4 days though. It moved us, maybe only into the next part of our lives, maybe into a completely new world, but from this place we can perhaps look back and see where we had been stuck, or where we had clung. Or maybe we can finally acknowledge something we had previously refused to learn. Who knows? The essence of life, and hopefully Ski to Live, is ongoing...
