Our
Story
Cat and Ellie know what it’s like to stand at a crossroads. In 2016, two 23-year-olds met again, halfway between Germany and New Zealand—unsure of the future, but certain they were being called to live it together. On that journey, they found a shared mission. In a tattoo shop in Bali, Ellie placed a stencil on Cat’s forehead that read “ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL DAY” in Times New Roman. It was tattooed on his face—forever. A wild, heartfelt declaration of faith in the unknown. Cat had no clear path, only a fierce trust that everything is going to change for the better. And it did. Fast. That tattoo became a movement. By 2017, Ellie had moved to New Zealand. They began selling "another beautiful day"- shirts and hoodies at night markets to fund their travels and speak at schools about living free and sober. Their story resonated. From 2018–2022, they traveled, modeled, and wrote. Cat’s autobiography became a source of healing for many. By 2023, they were bringing people from behind the screens into real-life experiences—starting with a Buddhist temple in Thailand where 17 souls from 10 nations came together to meditate. Then came the forest retreats. These gatherings became sanctuaries for people ready to begin again. In 2024 and 2025, those retreats became reunions. The ABD-Family was born. Dozens of returners gathered in the forest, on mountaintops, and around campfires—learning what it means to feel safe, connected, and fully alive.
PAST
Our
Mission
Today, ABD continues to evolve through vision, devotion, and community. Cat and Ellie have regular calls with brothers and sisters across the world who wholeheartedly believe in the mission. Together they have expanded ABD offerings virtually. They don’t preach; they walk the path and bring back what works. Their daily LIVE rising and evening routines—group meditation, prayer and movement—are available in a soulful subscription space (soon also for the public). Everything about ABD has grown organically. No gimmicks, no shortcuts. Just the wisdom that comes from doing the work together. ABD is a bridge—between intention and action, self and community, healing and wholeness. Whether in person or online, you’ll find spaces here that feel safe, inspiring, and real.
PRESENT
Our
Vision
The vision is to grow Another Beautiful Day into a global ecosystem of regenerative, mindful, heart-led community spaces—places that feel like home. We imagine a future where peaceful warriors like you can live, love, and lead from a place of wholeness. Where connection is the norm, not the exception. Where healing happens not in isolation, but in relationship—with nature, with others, with your own soul, and something greater than what the human eyes can see. We’re guided by these values: HEALTH & MINDFULNESS Tend to your temple—mind, body, and spirit. DIVERSITY & HARMONY Honor your uniqueness. Root into deep connection with others and yourself. EDUCATION & GROWTH Learn and share the timeless wisdom of nature, presence, and inner knowing. PURPOSE & PASSION Transform pain into power. Align your actions with what truly moves you. DISCIPLINE & FREEDOM Create playful structure. Build habits that liberate your energy and joy. SUPPORT & GUIDANCE Sometimes thriving is simply about being in the right environment. We aim to be that space—for each other, and for you. What’s possible? More presence. More energy. More freedom. More magic. More grace. Because no storm is forever—and no pain is the whole future. It’s just a part of the path that, when honored, gives way to beauty.
