The Shared Purpose Process
Navigating Life Togther
The Shared Purpose Retreat, designed by our founder, Aaron Hurst, is a uniquely curated experience that combines personal and professional growth with a focus on relationships. Participants bring a friend, known as their co-pilot, to embark on a journey of self-discovery and mutual support.
The retreat features thoughtfully structured exercises and group interactions, allowing attendees to unwind, gain clarity about their life's direction, and build deeper connections with themselves and their co-pilots. It's a weekend dedicated to exploring the intersections of personal and professional purpose while fostering connections, both with others and one's own life priorities.
It is a holistic experience that takes place in a beautiful, nourishing environment and offers a safe and open space for reflection, learning, and personal growth. At its core, it's about using love and compassion to improve relationships, connect with others, and create a vision for the future.
What You Will Gain
This workshop is a purpose design studio where you will evaluate the sources of meaning in your life and identify the ways to bring more purpose and possibility to everyday:
- Find or reconnect with your purpose and gain clarity on how you create meaning in your life.
- Understand what truly matters to your partner and how you can support each other on your journeys during and after the workshop.
- Develop a clear vision for how you can find fulfillment together but also support each other to find it outside your relationship.
- Develop and commit to changes you identify that will help strengthen your relationships, impact and growth.
