Thank You Thursday: Omega Institute

We’re all back to our busy lives after a great few days of retreating up at the Omega Institute’s Service Week (an opportunity for nonprofits and community organizations to get away and have much-needed respite and retreat). A more comprehensive update will come soon, but we just wanted to express our gratitude to Omega for the chance to pause and catch up to ourselves (we all work so hard to keep content fresh and frequent that we rarely get a moment to really think big picture and long term).
We saw bunnies and what we initially thought were beavers, and then decided were hedgehogs, but I now think must have been woodchucks (pictured here…can you tell there aren’t too many nature gals among us?). We ate tons of bread with homemade jam and amazing, natural butter. We stayed up late into the nights talking about progressive media, DIY fashion, our families, our careers, and, yes, sex. We had intense sessions about comment policy, our roles and responsibilities, legal and financial structures, content, the future and so much more. We laughed a lot. As we always do.
So on behalf of all of us, thank you to Omega for giving us this space. On behalf of myself, thanks to my fellow editors for making the time, and for being so visionary and courageous and brilliant and fun.
Stay tuned for more updates…
