What did people say about Journey Week 2023

I loved my experience at Journey Week! I’d only learned about Pacifica a few weeks before the event, and I was so happy I could make it out there. The campuses are beautiful and the people are wonderful. Corian did a great job welcoming our group and leading the tours. Overall the accommodations and food was good, and the speakers and workshops were great.

This was my first introduction to Pacifica and the conference was fantastic. All the speakers and overall running of the program was done in excellent form. I don’t like to miss anything so it was difficult to make some of the choices for which speaker to go to…. and their write-up could have explained better than the title only… but I was completely happy with my choices – just didn’t like to miss a few of those that I had to not choose.

I LOVED the entire week/weekend. I feel you covered everything I needed to learn, covered my every question and wonderings, Fed my body and SOUL well (even awesome gluten-free foods which was a treat)! It was Excellence at its best!

I really loved the speakers who spoke from the personal narrative perspective and practiced what they preached in terms of the way they made knowledge easily accessible. Those are the presenters that impacted me the most! The presenters that came at it from a more academic standpoint with power points and lots of theory where more challenging to engage with as a prospective student since much of the discipline is new to me and I am eager to learn more.

I am beyond grateful for having attended and participated in this beautiful event. The energy of the land and the collective frequency of those present were pulsating with love, creativity and soulful connections throughout. I will carry this experience with me for a long time.

Thank you for serving a a community beacon, a place for the soul-filled to gather and meet like persons. We need to know that we are out there and to support one another.
