A spacious way to begin the year
|
Hi Reader, Happy New Year! As the calendar turns, many people feel an immediate pull to move forward — to name intentions, make plans, or get clear about what’s next. But the beginning of a new year doesn’t actually ask us to move yet. Orientation is different from action. So many accomplished, thoughtful people move quickly into January already responding to expectations and demands. Without space to pause and listen, it’s easy to start the year slightly off-center — even when everything looks fine on the outside. Returning to Center: A Kinder Gentler Start for the New Year was created as a spacious alternative. It’s an invitation to slow down at the very beginning of the year and reconnect with your inner compass — not to decide anything, but to notice what’s present. To listen for what matters now. To let clarity arise gently, rather than pushing for answers. The Returning to Center Retreat offers a supportive, reflective container to begin the year grounded and oriented — with room to breathe, reflect, and listen. If this kind of beginning feels nourishing, I invite you to learn more about this half-day retreat with the link below.
And if your year needs to begin quietly, without commitments or conclusions, that’s more than enough. Orientation itself is a meaningful practice. Blessings for your 2026! Lisa P.S. With the in-person retreat is sold out, we'd love for you to join us Sunday, January 11th for the online retreat from your comfy cozy home.

Something is Stirring Hi Reader, Have you felt it? Not full spring. Not yet. But something shifting. And this year, early February holds a quiet convergence. There are at least four events from various spiritual traditions that happen around this time of year, but since they are all tied to sun and moon cycles in different ways their dates on our Gregorian calendar shift each year. This year they all fell with within the first two weeks of February - three of the four happened this week!...
Beneath the Surface Hi Reader, Winter looks like stillness on the surface, but beneath the ground, something essential is happening. In January, we’re often met with loud messages about fresh starts, bold goals, and decisive action. And yet, the natural world tells a different story. Winter is not a pause button so much as a shift in the kind of work being done. Roots deepen. Old matter breaks down. Nutrients gather quietly in the dark. Many of us sense this same tension within ourselves. We...
Welcoming Winter! Hi Reader, As December unfolds, we arrive at one of the most sacred turning points of the year: the Winter Solstice. The longest night. The deepest dark. And quietly, almost imperceptibly, the return of the light. Winter invites us into a different rhythm. The world around us slows. Nature rests. The noise softens. And we are invited to do the same -- not to disengage from life, but to listen more deeply within it. This is the season of the North on the Heart Compass: a...
