From Burnout and Rock Bottom to 800+ Souls: The Story Behind Our Community
Dear beautiful community,
Every once in a while, Vincent and I like to connect with a few of our members and have a call. We love to hear your stories and to deeply connect further than the written word.
And in the calls we heard the feedback that many of you did not even know our story and how this community actually started.
Some of you have been here since day one and know exactly how this began.But many of you arrived later, and you only know us as “the community,” without knowing how personal this journey actually is.
So here’s our story and how all of this came to life.
✨ It began with two very different paths — Vincent’s burnout and my rock bottom
Before this community ever existed, Vincent spent almost two years trying to heal from a deep burnout. He tried everything:
Psychologists, coaches, hypnosis, EFT, cold plunges, breathwork, Reiki…Some things helped a little, but nothing touched the core of the problem.
One day a therapist told him:“Maybe this is just your new normal.”
And Vincent refused to accept that.He said: “If I can break myself, then I can also heal myself.”And that moment changed everything.
For most of his life, meditation felt too woo-woo or too vague — everyone told him “just meditate,” but no one could explain why or how it actually works.
When he discovered Dr. Joe Dispenza and the science behind the work — the 3D vs 5D, the data, the brain waves, the nervous system — suddenly everything clicked.For Vincent’s left-brained mind, the science was the bridge.
He went all in.He healed.He started attending events.He found a path back to himself.
And that naturally pulled me into this world too, but in a completely different way.
✨ My path was different — and much harder for me to surrender to
My first Dr. Joe retreat was in Cancun in December 2023.I had big insights, deep moments, and beautiful experiences…But I was still stuck in one old belief:
“I have to fix myself. I don’t need anyone. I can’t rely on people.”
That belief came from childhood, from survival, from years of trying to be strong on my own.
And then 2024 hit me hard. Life challenged me in every possible way.I was forced to face myself truly and I eventually reached rock bottom.
Vincent lovingly sent me to the Orlando event in October 2024, not to escape, but to finally meet myself with honesty.
And for the first time in my life,I went into something with full intention.
I was clear about why I was going.
To find my self love again.
Every meditation was intentional.Every breath meant something.Every day, I was shedding layers of old trauma, old beliefs, old identities.
It was one of the most transformative experiences of my life.
And on the very first day, during registration, I met Jefi — the first person I spoke to. We connected immediately.
✨ The moment everything shifted — and how the community was born
After the retreat, Jefi and I joined a US-based meditation group to stay accountable.But meditating at US times was difficult.
So we asked ourselves:
“Why don’t we create our own small European accountability group?Just for us. Just to stay committed.”
We invited a handful of people.Then a few more.Vincent joined and added his magic — guiding meditations with structure, music, presence, and his DJ background.
And suddenly…
4 people became 10.10 became 50.50 became 300.300 became nearly 650 people today.
We NEVER planned this.We never sat down and said, “Let’s create a community.”This wasn’t a strategy.There was no plan.
It was born from one simple intention:
To stay committed to myself. To stay in self-love. To stay present. To not fall back asleep. To continue healing — together.
And it grew naturally into something much bigger than us.
✨ How this community has changed our lives too
Because of this group, Vincent is now studying two modalities — breathwork facilitation and NCS — to deepen his ability to guide.He is constantly learning and evolving because of the work we do here.
And I am studying somatic healing, the vagus nerve, trauma resolution, neuroscience — everything that helps us understand the emotions and patterns we carry.
And Jefi is studying to become an art therapist.
We are ALL learning and growing because of you.
This community didn’t only change your lives — it changed ours too.
✨ Why I wanted to share this today
Because if you joined recently, I want you to know:
This community wasn’t built on marketing. It wasn’t built on ambition. It wasn’t built on wanting to “create something.”
It was built on intention.On healing.On connection.On accountability.On the desire to become somebody new — together.
It was born from a moment of pain, and it became one of the most beautiful blessings in our lives.
So whether you’ve been here since day one, or you joined yesterday —you are now part of this story too.
And I’m deeply grateful you’re here.
With love,MC and Vincent
