jenn stark - so excited for you guys holding the next edition of don't give up, and for all the wonderful souls that will soon be filling the lodge with you! we look on our time there back in march SO fondly and with full hearts and know that it changed us. never before have i felt so simultaneously affirmed and loved but also challenged to be better and to remind myself what matters most. i am so excited for everyone who'll be experiencing the magic that is the lodge, the bonfires, the talks, the food, everything. i'm actually really sad knowing that we won't be there! love you both so much. xx

athena - I'm not stalking you anymore. Because we're friends now, and friends leave comments. And this - YOU GUYS! This!! - is amazing and wonderful and poetic and sad and open and REAL. It's just soo....LIFE. And life really is bloody fantastic! (And so are you.) xox

David - Amazingly, wonderfully inspiring. You would think being behind the scenes to see the making of this would make it less magical, as if once you know the magician's secrets, the magic is no more. But the opposite is true. What I found was not a parlour trick but an amazing ability to connect with people and get them to open their hearts.

Julia Wade - SO inspiring.. thank you so much for sharing your work in such a beautiful and honest way. Count me in for Don't Give Up. I'm in, I'm in, I'm in. :)

Stevie - my head is going to explode!

Rosina - so so happy for you guys that you have had this incredible opportunity for DGU to go global. the world has to see what you do, what you believe in, and experience your hearts. i am so happy for you, and can't wait to hear more about this!! xx

Mats - Awesome series, really like your work. Very nice!

Melissa Jean - You guys are so inspiring =)

rich - rock on parsons -this is beautiful!!

Annie - I miss you guys! xxx

Kath Scott - I will never forget the day you guys shot this. Being near you and hearing your words and listening to what is in your heart has changed my life forever and I cannot thank you enough. You are helping make the world right and that is awesome to think about. love Kath

Manel Tamayo - I love your work guys !!!

caz + jaydes - we love you guys *SO* much. you've given us such a gift.. in your friendship, your honesty, and your storytelling. the pieces of us that you captured already move us to tears, + we can only imagine that the value will grow as we age, make babies, + eventually pass away. [a wise woman once made us realize, what you've made of us will outlive us.] thank you, friends. thank you for laughing with us + crying with us + doing life with us. we love you.

Hannah Nicole - incredibly moving, incredibly powerful, incredibly beautiful, incredibly honest. started crying in the video. you guys are doing good things. hope to someday be at one of the don't give up projects...wherever it may be. :)
