Green Lights: Move Before You’re Ready
What if the moments you’ve been waiting for aren’t loud, but quiet signals asking you to move?
In this session, Lorisha Ionno shares the origin story of The Durango Collective through the lens of “green lights”, those intuitive moments that signal opportunity before certainty arrives.
Participants will learn how to recognize these signals, overcome hesitation, and take aligned action using a simple, practical framework designed to move ideas into motion.
Recognize the signals.
Learn how to notice the subtle inner cues that point you toward growth and opportunity.
Move through hesitation.
Understand what holds you back and how to move forward with more clarity and trust.
Take aligned action.
Walk away with a simple framework you can apply immediately in your life or work.
ABOUT THE SESSION
This gathering is designed to help you reconnect with your inner direction in a practical, grounded way.
You don’t need to have everything figured out. Just a willingness to listen, reflect, and take one step forward.
