Free Live Virtual New Year Retreat 2019: Recording Available
Lately I’ve been wondering just what it is we need at the end of one year and the beginning of another.
Maybe that’s because I’m always a bit surprised (again) by the flood of advice directed toward women at this time of year. I guess I’m especially feeling it this year, after having recently written about what our wild and precious lives truly want from us.
As a result, I’m feeling compelled (and excited) to offer something new: A free live virtual new year retreat.
So…what if the start of this new year could be different?
- No need to sort out the past year
- No resolutions to make
- No goals to set
Instead, just a simple, gentle process to unearth your own unique rhythms and bring you home to yourself.
We do not need to operate according to a predetermined plan for our lives. Rather, we need to practice a new art of attention to the inner rhythm of our days and lives. If you work with a different rhythm, you will come easily and naturally home to yourself.
-John O’Donahue

Perhaps you’ve grown a bit weary of predetermined plans.
Or the constant pressure to know where you’re going.
And, even if you do find end-of-year/beginning-of-year planning helpful, maybe there’s something more that you’re longing for.
Something more to center you as you cross the threshold from one year to the next.
Well, it just so happens that earlier this year I was talking and writing about this with my dear friend Charlotte (author, writing coach and retreat leader). We both were feeling a deep yearning to attune to a more personal, inner rhythm of life.
And something kind of magical happened during that conversation.
It stayed with us for the rest of the year. We found ourselves being pulled toward that something more through a potent of blend of…
* reflective writing
* story sharing
* poetry
* prose
* guided meditation
Now, we’re delighted to join together to share it with you, our gift as we move into the new year.
During this virtual new year retreat, we’ll spend two hours dropping down into the inner rhythms of the season, our days and our lives. We’ll be writing together, talking, listening and breathing deeply.
You can participate at whatever level feels good to you. If there’s time, you’ll be invited to share your writing, but only if you feel comfortable doing so. No pressure, no critiques. This writing is just for you.
By the end of this virtual new year retreat, we think this process will begin to weave its magic into your entire year, just as it did for us.

The Wise Trees…
All the complicated details
of the attiring and
the disattiring are completed!
A liquid moon
moves gently among
the long branches.
Thus having prepared their buds
against a sure winter
the wise trees
stand sleeping in the cold.
-William Carlos Williams
