You know your next steps will help heal not only yourself, but also other people and the world. And those other people — the ones you know you are meant to connect with — well, you can almost see them taking shape in your peripheral vision. These people are part of your village.
If this sounds familiar, join me for one of our two 2025 African STARs (Self-Transformation Adventure Retreats). Spend a few delicious days—in an intimate group of no more than 12 people—being coached by me, by Master Coach and tracker Boyd Varty, and by my team, in one of the most magical places in the world: Londolozi Game Reserve, South Africa.

5 PATHS TO YOUR PURPOSE
A FREE Masterclass with Martha Beck
Do you ever feel a bit purposeless? As you do laundry or answer endless emails, does something in you keep insisting you’re meant to do more?
That something is correct.
You have a unique life purpose, one that’s meant to serve the world and fill your days with meaning. You were born to recognize that purpose … but chances are you don’t. Early in life, most of us learn to ignore our purpose and do random things that other people value.
It’s time to unlearn that pattern.
Part of Martha Beck’s purpose is to help other people find their purpose. She’s offering an exciting, free masterclass that will help you notice and name the paths to your purpose that are always opening at your feet, though you may not be able to see them.
Register today to receive a recording of Martha’s FREE masterclass, 5 Paths to Your Purpose.

If you asked me what a perfect day would look like for me, it would definitely include hanging out with Elizabeth Gilbert—and YOU—and talking about life’s big questions:
