Every January, many of us sit down with the hope of shaping the year ahead. We set intentions, make lists, and imagine that with the right cleanse, habit stack, or “bio-hack” we can emerge as a new version of ourselves. And while inspiration certainly rises at this time of year, something else emerges too; the dreaded self-help spiral.
The collective energy of “New Year, New You” often whispers that there is something to fix. That who we are now is somehow insufficient. In that push to become someone else, we can unintentionally rush past the truth of where we actually are. We bypass the integration of the year we just lived, the transformations already underway, and the essential meaning making that comes from slowing down, listening to the body, and connecting with community.
This New Year’s Day, we invite you into a different kind of experience. Together we enter into a space to soften rather than reshape, while we reflect on the year that has passed and truly receive it. When we receive instead of react we open the door to being able to hear the sacred intelligence within, the heart’s Sankalpa. As we become clear on our hearts true desires, we move into our bodies to honor the alchemy already happening within. Together we open an intentional field of co-creation with life by placing our attention on the path ahead while receiving the truth of the present moment. We hope you can join us for this event as we open the year together in softness, self compassion and intentionality.
