The Value of Burning Bridges

Saturday, 2:00pm | Workshop

Bridges are representative of a connection to another person or place. I have found there is great value in building bridges and also, actually at times, value in burning them down. The question comes down to your intention and in whether or not the bridge is healthy, strong and balanced in the first place. Questions to ask together during this session – Are the bridges that you’ve built or crossed still life giving or nurturing to you? Also, have you ended up in a place that it is time to give yourself permission to keep moving? I’d love to share some of my life story and the lessons I’ve learned intentionally “”burning bridges”” with people and places and the beauty of then allowing stronger, healthier bridges to be built in their stead
