We’ll kick off the Jane Retreat with Ali and Trev, who will set the tone for our time together by reflecting on where we’ve been, where we’re headed, and what this retreat is all about. From there, Kiki will guide us through our Retreat Norms—a light but grounding session designed to help us all show up with intention, kindness, and curiosity. It’s a chance to align on how we want to be together this week and create the kind of space where connection, growth, and—of course—delight can happen.
