The Long Walk

Gather the Women has created The Long Walk, so named because, throughout our days, weeks, months, and years of sitting in Sacred Circle, we become part of the Long Walk of our lives together as we continue to walk each other Home with deep listening, understanding, non-judgment, and love. The Long Walk has a predetermined topic each week and participants can share on the topic through their own personal stories, insights, and self-discoveries. These will be stories shared at the heart level, not head teachings.

Topic: Admitting You Were Wrong! Building Bridges Through Accountability

Host: Rowdy Brewick

Date: Sunday, May 24, 2026

Times: 4pm (PT) | 5pm (MT) | 6pm (CT) | 7pm (ET)

Duration: 60 minutes

This Long Walk conversation will focus on the concept of accountability. Accountability is the obligation or willingness to accept responsibility for one’s choices, behaviors, and actions, and be answerable for resulting consequences. It involves owning outcomes without shifting blame. Being accountable for your decisions and actions is empowering and can present new opportunities. It shouldn’t be about guilt or making you lesser than. Admitting that you made a mistake or error in judgement gives you a chance to build bridges and expand relationships. Taking responsibility for your actions boosts your self-respect and confidence, as well as helping you gain the respect and trust of others.

Here are some questions to ponder that may enhance our sharing on this Long Walk conversation:

How difficult is it for you to admit that you were wrong, made a bad choice, or that there was a better way to do something?
When faced with embarrassment, feeling stupid, or too prideful, how do you convince yourself to be forthcoming, then admit your fallibility and begin a conversation to find a new outcome?
How do you communicate when you feel that someone needs to be held accountable for their actions? What are your expectations when you hold someone accountable?
