New York Tripping 2026
There’s really nothing like New York for testing where one is really at with their self regulating practices 😂
With a 6 hour flight and a 5 hour time difference you get hit with the full sensory overload.
Our nervous systems were giving it full on WTF vibes before we remembered the obvious solution was to get to Central Park. And after getting grounded and finding our breath we were ready to put the New back into The Zoo York.
I took the RiddleSisters with me on this epic mission. We spent 24 hours in NYC before heading to The Berkshires to hold a phenomenal 3 day retreat at an even more phenomenal space called ‘The Thyme’.
After closing The Be More Human retreat we headed back to the city for another 72 and had an absolutely awesome time of it and found a good balance of sites, food, shops and more time dipping in and out of Central Park to keep our feet on the ground.
Incredible to think that Central Park was carved out of bedrock in the 1800’s by 20,000 workers using just picks, shovels and carts and that they planted over a 100,000 trees.
Also mind blowing is that the Empire State Building was built in just one year, and that it was also built in the Great Depression and remained the tallest building in the world for 40 years.
Its a great city to explore on foot and we were averaging 20k steps per day, which certainly helped mitigate what felt like 20k calories per day 😂
Can’t wait for the next time we land the Be More Human Experience at The Thyme to have another check in of where I am with my self regulating practices.
You know the quote by Ram Dass: “If you think you’re enlightened, go spend a week with your family.”
Well it’s a bit like….If you think you’re self regulated, go spend sown time in NYC!
