I’m curious, does bumping up an hour to 9pm EST on Sundays work better for the community than the current 10pm slot?

A little over a year ago, my dad sent me a TikTok of a yogi taking about consciousness. We were watching it together in the car on the way to work, and I remember saying, almost casually, “I'm gonna be friends with this guy.” That yogi was @Zach Sanders , the founder of the Conscious Warrior Community. What started as a strange intuition turned into a real friendship. Over the last year, I’ve watched Zach build his platform with deep integrity, care, and genuine devotion to the people he serves. I developed into deep friendships with many different people in this community. @Geep Main @Connor Fowers @Mitchell Lessmann @Spencer Barisof @Matthew B @Matthew Lazar @Anthony Faulhaber @Bill Hobbs @Colin Harris just to name a few. Because of my relationship with Zach, he offered to give me a shout-out for a journey I’m about to begin. That matters, because this journey marks a turning point not only in how I understand life, but how I engage with it on a daily basis. For a long time, I believed that happiness and success only came through force. That if you didn’t push hard enough, grind long enough, or impose your will on the world, nothing would work out. That safety and joy had to be earned through exhaustion. What I’ve learned over the past few years has been the very definition of different. When you step forward in faith, the next step reveals itself while you’re already moving. And in that motion, you begin to realize just how supported you actually are. Not hypothetically. Practically. Tangibly. “As you start to walk on the way, the way appears.” - Rumi I have since landed in a state of embodied understanding that not only is it possible to step out into the world and do things that look completely unreasonable, even ridiculous on paper, but that life will happily and gladly meet you halfway with safety, guidance, and support.

We are extremely excited to announce that @Zach Sanders and I, with the help of @Connor Fowers, @Spencer Barisof, and @Cole Pohlman, will be hosting a 2 night, 3 day retreat north of Atlanta, GA! Immersed in the beautiful landscape of the Blue Ridge Mountains, rediscover your peace as you eat whole food meals, bathe in heart opening music, connect with ancient rituals, persevere through asana flows, recharge from nourishing forest baths, and experience profundity through breathwork. Itinerary includes (but is certainly not limited to) Kundalini, Yin, Hatha, and Vinyasa Yoga experiences, breath work, sound bath, Nidra, campfire kirtan, nature bathing, AND SOMEHOW MORE. Yoga refers to a direct experience with an essence that lies beyond the 5 senses. In this retreat, you will be lead through a scientific process that awakens the possibility for such an experience by intimately connecting with the energies of the heart, mind, and body. This is not just a feel-good love & light retreat – this is a soul nourishing reconnection with a primordial source of energy that effortlessly transmutes pain into bliss, suffering into gratitude, and confusion into clarity. -- Details -- When: October 3-5th, 2025 Investment: Room + Food + Experience is $995. $300 Non-Refundable deposit is required to reserve your seat. Partial refunds available up to 30 days before event. Financial Assistance: As we grow in these offerings, we are hopeful that we will be able to open up scholarships to mitigate financial barriers.
