I participated in The Beauty of Imperfection during my first visit to Miraval Arizona — the experience was profound and impactful and I kept the bowl I made on my nightstand where I could see and be reminded of its meaning every day. My husband and I sadly lost our home during the LA fires of January 2025 and while sifting through rubble a few weeks later, we came across a few large pieces of the bowl. The pieces were among very few identifiable items and immediately took on a completely new meaning — while not in the form I had created during my time at Miraval Arizona, they reminded me of my own strength and resilience and that, like them, I am worthy and beautiful regardless of the state I am in. The beauty of imperfection was personified in that moment and the pieces of the bowl will forever be treasured memories that represent not only the lasting growth I experienced at Miraval, but of the home I loved so dearly.

Conquered the Giant's Ladder challenge course at Miraval Arizona and it was truly transformative. It taught me the power of perseverance and the magic of teamwork. With the right partner, every obstacle becomes an opportunity to grow. Here's to pushing limits and never giving up!
