I dare you to share your happiness!
Support Communities & Share Happiness Globally
Stop Waiting for Friday grew from a deep-seated love for travel, culture, and the profound beauty of human connection. It was built on the belief that, no matter where we come from or how our lives look, we all share the same universal desire for happiness. Our mission is to bridge cultures and foster moments of joy that remind us we are all connected as one global community.

Offer time, presence, listening, or experiences

How You Can Help
You can explore each project through direct links to their own websites or donation pages. Supporting them directly helps ensure your contribution goes exactly where it’s needed. You’re invited to learn about their work, connect in your own way, and support their journey as it continues.
Global Initiatives
There is no single way to give back. Support can be quiet or active, short-term or ongoing, simple or hands-on. Below are just a few of the ways we may choose to share our happiness—during retreats or from wherever we are in the world.
Help renovate a local school in Bali, Indonesia
Every Tuesday and Friday I gather at a local school sharing English with the students in hopes that it will support them in a global future. While in Bali there is a foundation of gratitude for what one has, most local schools are underprivileged with water damaged ceilings, old and broken furniture, worn out boards, and a lack of resources for a supportive learning environment. We all know that being surrounded by beauty is supportive to learning. Help me make the school more beautiful, one classroom at a time.
Become a SEE Learning Facilitator for your community!
SEE Learning has personally changed my life. SEE Learning supports children, adults, educators, and community leaders in cultivating fundamental tools towards happiness and well-being that are backed by the latest neuroscience, psychology, trauma informed, and compassion training research.
Our Retreats
For me, a retreat has never been just about rest. It’s an invitation to engage. Each retreat includes time devoted to supporting a local initiative and being part of a community through compassion in action. These moments, simple, hands-on, and shared often become some of the most meaningful, creating real connection with the communities that welcome us in.
Returning Home
The retreat may end, but the connection doesn’t have to. We share simple ways to stay in touch with and support the projects you’ve connected with, so the care, learning, and impact can continue wherever life takes you.
