In a surprising revelation, Adrian Colbert, Chicago Bears defensive back, shared that a trip to Costa Rica with Green Bay Packers legend Aaron Rodgers had a profound impact on him. Alongside fellow NFL player Jordan Poyer, they embarked on a three-night ayahuasca retreat, documented in a new Netflix series.
Colbert expressed how Aaron Rodgers’ words during the retreat helped him learn the art of ‘surrender.’ He mentioned, ‘I was once driven off of anger and how can I prove other people wrong for doubting me? But, now, I come from a place of love.’ This transformation is shown in the series ‘Aaron Rodgers: Enigma,’ which highlights their spiritual exploration.
The retreat included not just a change of scenery but a shift in perspective for Colbert. Rodgers, renowned for his competitive spirit, directly influenced Colbert and others, aiding them to embrace vulnerability and emotional openness. The Netflix series visually captures this shift.
Interestingly, Colbert noted that his teammates reacted positively to his new outlook post-retreat. He mentioned experiencing ‘a lot more curiosity than people judging,’ indicating a supportive environment around his transformation.
Rodgers’ involvement in the retreat, despite his history with the Bears on the field, adds an intriguing layer to this story. His participation in helping others grow off the field showcases a different side of the quarterback, one not often seen in the competitive sports arena.
This journey highlights the unexpected bonds and personal growth that can arise from shared experiences.
