Emerge into a life of clarity, creative power, and joy
New Year’s 9-Week Online Retreat
∞ Dive deep into yourself. ∞ Clarify and commit to your purpose and goals. ∞ Forge lasting transformation. ∞
New Year’s Day, for me, is a doorway into a brand-new life, a passage through which to birth myself. Have you ever witnessed a birth? A shining spirit enters a new body, and then emerges into the world. That beautiful precious baby is a miracle, a gift to the world: pure, innocent, and worthy. The essence of who they are and those inherent qualities do not change over time.
You are a miracle, a treasure for the world. Nothing and no one can take away your innocence and worth. The human spirit, your essence, is resourceful, resilient, and creative. It has wisdom, clarity, and all the answers you’ve been seeking.
Each of us is a miracle. Yet sometimes, we forget and seem trapped in a whirlpool of repeating patterns, habits, and narratives. We feel stuck and helpless to change. Other times, we seem like a dog chasing its tail or a hamster on a wheel, running after the elusive dream. We think, maybe this year my New Year’s resolutions and intentions will finally pan out. Over and over, we feel frustrated, disappointed, and hopeless.
Then there are the moments we hear a whisper in the morning breeze, a soft quiet voice reassuring us there is an answer. We feel inspired, renewed, and hopeful. We sense there’s a way off the hamster wheel. Listen to that whisper on the wind. Heed its call: Reclaim your innocence and worth, and remember the human spirit you are. It’s time! Break free from the recurring cycle that’s had you trapped. Listen to the soft voice within. It’s calling you back to the garden, back home to your self.
“We are stardust Billion year old carbon We are golden… And we've got to get ourselves Back to the garden” From the 1969 song, Woodstock, by Joni Mitchell
Start the new year off right, leave your past behind and walk through the doorway into the new life that’s been waiting for you. Join Deborah and other participants and learn to hear the whispers within, sense the subtle energies around you, and feel life coursing through your veins. Allow their messages to inspire, guide, and move you. Let them awaken you to who you are and why you’re here.
Let’s come together and build community within which to explore big juicy questions and edgy, potentially life-changing ideas. The format of the course will include transformative exercises, meditation, contemplation and journaling, and small and large group sharing. There are optional assignments between classes, such as readings and reflection, and other practices that help catalyze an internal shift and transform your life.
