We also announced Giulia Auricchio’s multi-million-dollar investment and her new role as Managing Partner at Wellmore. With ~$25M from Sponsors and Founding Partners, she is helping us finalize the remaining financing as we prepare to start construction later this year. Underlying her investment is our commitment to conscious capitalism, including the Endowed Scholarship program serving as a platform for the veterans and first responders programming being supported by other investors, like the Ford and Comora families. Additional highlights include McKenzie Wilhelm discussing land as a partner, not an asset; Rache Brande discussing the harmonics of healing and our planned Frequency Lab; Rene Locklear White discussing the keys to modernizing ancient wisdom traditions; and Allison Ballmer discussing the notion of “Heart as Power” for business leaders. We kicked off the meeting with Dr. Julie Krull's beautiful poem, found below. "When people leave Simply Amazing, they leave renewed and their transformation can shift their own community dynamics," she added. |
Unfolding 2025 Opening Poem
There is a question in the air right now—urgent, trembling, full of yearning:
What should we do?
Do we retreat into silence or rise into action?
Do we shield our peace or confront the pain?
Do we serve from the subtle or speak to the tangible?
The truth is not either/or.
The truth is not in the polarity,
but in the presence that can hold both.
We are not here to choose sides between action and stillness,
between politics and prayer,
between inner peace and outer response.
We are here to remember
that we are the field through which all things arise.
The world is not "out there."
It is not separate from our practice, our presence, our path.
The burning forests, the trembling democracies, the breaking hearts--
all of it moves through us.
But here is the paradox:
We cannot fight this fire with more fire.
We cannot meet chaos with a lack of coherence.
We cannot serve awakening by collapsing into the dream.
This is not a call to tune out.
Nor is it a call to armor up.
This is a call to become the frequency
of the world we long to see.
To embody the coherence of a future not yet visible
but already pulsing in our hearts.
To model a way of being that is rooted in love,
resonant with truth,
and grounded in action—not from fear, but from wholeness.
What is our responsibility?
To anchor, not argue.
To transmit, not preach.
To co-create, not react.
To be, not withdraw.
We do not move from separation.
We are moved by the Field.
The unitive field.
The One, the Sacred, the Divine, that breathes through us as presence,
and remembers that this world is not being destroyed--
It is being reborn.
And our coherence is midwifing it.
This is sacred activism.
We are not here to escape the world.
We are here to infuse it with something real.
Let us meet in the field of becoming…
Where our presence become the protest.
Our love becomes the legislation.
Our integrity becomes the invitation.
And, where we no longer ask, What should I do?
but instead whisper, What do I need to embody now,
that the world might remember its wholeness through me?
Unfolding 2025 - Ritual as Method
Sanctuary on the Trail Co-Founders Rene' Locklear White and Chris (Comeswithclouds) White presented five minutes on "Rituals as Method."
"Creator is also calling us to create new rituals too and look for new songs rising from the very earth. Coming to Simply could become a RITE OF PASSAGE for people … becoming a significant transition or milestone in people’s lives," Rene' said. | "We live in a right now new era to: |
