The Thyme presents
in pursuit of mastery
july 9 • 12
True mastery is not pursued in isolation, but within spaces where we feel safe enough to be seen, challenged, and to grow
•
There’s a version of your work that hasn’t fully come through yet.
You can feel it. You’ve tasted parts of it and you know it’s there. But somewhere between what you’re capable of and what you’re actually creating, something contracts.
You hold back. You edit yourself. You manage how you’re perceived. Just enough that the work becomes good, but not fully yours.
The pursuit of mastery isn’t only about skill. It’s about your capacity to bring your whole self into the thing you love without holding back.
To stop creating distance between yourself and the work, and instead fully step into it, live it, and trust what wants to come through.
The artists, creatives, and people doing meaningful work aren’t necessarily the ones pushing the hardest. Often they’re the ones who stop resisting and stop keeping parts of themselves hidden.
This summer, Flynn and Kevin are opening a small weekend retreat for a handful of people who feel ready for that next step.
Not a workshop and not a course, but a contained space for honest conversation, reflection, and the deeper inner work that allows you to meet your craft more fully.
Together we’ll explore what keeps you from full commitment, what it means to move beyond limitation, and how to show up more completely —
not only when things feel easy, but especially when what matters most is asking more of you.

Flynn Skidmore is a former therapist who has become known internationally for his warm, relatable yet challenging approach to personal growth. His clients tend to be highly self-aware artists and creative entrepreneurs, already successful, looking to deepen their self-acceptance, increase their creative power, and cultivate life that feels like a reflection of who they truly are.
Flynn’s work blends depth psychology, somatic intelligence, and a clear-eyed look at the patterns running underneath the surface.

Kevin de Roos moves through the world as a devoted student of his own becoming • an artist who has spent years mastering the crafts and modalities that live at the intersection of focus, sound, and space.
He holds space not just as a practice, but as an art form • creating environments where others can return to themselves, breathe deeper, and remember what feels true.
Through his work as a creative, Kevin has built tools and pathways designed to help people root into their authenticity • not as a destination, but as a living, ongoing experience.
His journey is one of presence, craft, and devotion.

Conor is a movement coach and nervous system educator whose work dismantles the conventional story about why bodies hurt and stay stuck. After resolving his own chronic pain through years of independent study in fascia science and nervous system regulation, he built ISO Movement — a coaching and education system grounded in one insight: pain is a pattern, and patterns can change. His 1:1 clients include elite athletes, executives, and healthcare practitioners who can't access in their own body what they already know in their mind.
