Executive Director of the HSA Alumni & Business Club

Organizing our retreats is a true privilege and one of the things I enjoy the most. Each event is a magical journey where relationships blossom, kindness overflows, and learning takes center stage. We create unforgettable memories, ensure endless fun, and deeply immerse ourselves in a live practice of the SPIRE elements of happiness. These retreats are not just events; they're peak experiences that enrich, strengthen, and bring together our global community and that help us put the Happiness Revolution into action.

The retreat has been great. We're really connecting, having lunch with people, just the conversations we're having. I actually have found a mentee that I'm going to be working with. I now have a whole bunch of new friends. I have all these Mexican and Latin American friends who I would never have met. So it's just great. I can't wait for the next one.

For me, it was a life-changing, knowing very authentic and generous people from all over the world just open up my imagination to so many possibilities, just being here among so many wonderful people. It makes me just want to improve in so many areas I didn't even know about.
