JENNYCHANG VIRTUAL VISION RETREAT

An Intern’s Perspective

It was the morning of Jenny’s first Virtual Vision Retreat, and the energy was high. I could tell Jenny, and her cohost, @comediccody, was a bit nervous, but overall very excited. About 10 minutes before we went live, Jenny made sure to put only good energy calm in the room by lighting incense, playing meditation music, and then right before the event started, lit a white candle.

As soon as the Virtual Retreat started, the energy rose even higher. People were ecstatic to be there! Jenny started off with a quick introduction of herself and Cody, and then followed it up with an explanation of her own vision board. As soon as she was done explaining it, the people were split up into 4 different break rooms to start, discuss, and share their vision boards with others. 

About 10 minutes into the break rooms, Jenny and Cody surprised the groups by spending time in each room by answering questions and really talking to the people. What I found to be a pleasant surprise was how interactive everyone was! People were not afraid to start talking to others, and it was heartwarming to hear them feel so comfortable and safe enough to really be vulnerable and share deep and personal stories. Jenny and Cody also shared their stories and truly emphasized with those who had opened up. 

After the break rooms closed, everyone came back to the main room for a Q&A. Another pleasant surprise was again, how deep these questions were. While a couple was fun little questions, the majority of them had to do with asking Jenny about life advice. Jenny was as open as ever and really dug deep to answer the questions the best way she could. At the very end of the retreat, Jenny announced the winner, who would receive a personal one on one life coaching session with Jenny. 

As the Vision Retreat came to a close, I couldn't help but feel a sense of happiness. I was so inspired and proud to be a part of an event that had created such a safe space for this group of people to come together with Jenny and Cody, and truly open up and strive to become better in life.
