THE STORY BEHIND REPOSE
We all deserve to feel supported
in our daily lives.
Especially at work.
Â
THE BEGINNING
For over a decade I've been teaching meditation and leading corporate wellbeing retreats. One of the things that stayed with me, no matter how many times I saw it, was what happened in the weeks after a retreat ended.
​
People would arrive exhausted, disconnected, running on fumes. By the end of the day something genuine would shift in them. They'd feel clearer, lighter, more present. The feedback was always the same, this is exactly what I needed, why don't we do this more often?
"A few weeks later the reality of daily work would creep back in and almost everything they'd experience would start to unravel."
The stress returned, the clarity faded, and the retreat became something they looked back on rather than something they carried forward. It wasn't that the experience wasn't valuable, it was that a single day or two simply couldn't hold up against the weight of an ongoing working life without something to support it every day in between.
​
That gap was something I couldn't stop thinking about.

THE NEED BECAME PERSONAL
At the same time, my husband was working FIFO and our conversations after his swings home painted a picture I found really hard to sit with. Workers spending weeks in isolated environments, sleep disrupted, under enormous psychological pressure with very little available to them that felt relevant to where they actually were or what they were actually going through.
​
Friends working in education and medicine were telling me variations of the same story. Completely burned out, carrying invisible loads, and falling through the gaps of every wellbeing initiative their workplace had tried.
