Gatorship

🤎 Retreat 1 🤎

Remember that apps have been extended until this Friday so be sure to apply! Today’s feature is one of our amazing AD’s Jeremy!!
Love is universal. It is ethereal. Love is what allows us to witness the exchange of humanness within and around us. And when we allow ourselves to see each other in that light, will we understand and propel the need for justice and equity. That fuels me. Awakening the conscious to the systems of oppression that exists, so that we can reach liberation collectively. So that we can reach a standing of love, justice, and equity.

Gatorship is an experience like no other, the rawness, the vulnerability, the education, the collectivism, the space in which you can simply exist as yourself. That is what gatorship creates a medium for. Deconstructing my own assumptions and sharing my embodied experiences has allowed me to become aware of myself, the privileges I hold, the intersections of my identity, and how they’ve all created everything I am. And with this awareness, I give back to the world.

Strength in our communities, families, socio-political institutions, convictions, ethics, values. Strength to remain rooted, while constantly challenging the status-quo and operating necessary change.
Ultimately, a constant pursuit to strengthen oneself, both physically and mentally is what keeps me rooted and fuels me.

Up next is our lovely Assistant Director, Manouchca!

It takes heart to stand for what you believe in and be effortlessly you.

Gatorship offers a space for you to wear your heart on your sleeve and be validated in your experiences. In a world that often does whatever it can to break us, there are places and communities breaking the tide. I am so grateful I applied to gatorship because they became that community of love, acceptance, and understanding for me.

Our community is always growing so be sure to apply to gatorship through the link in our bio and join the family!
