I never really believed in resolutions. While January 1st is an important date for me celebrating my sobriety (coming up on 14 years strong), I feel as though the term ‘resolution’ has an energy & affiliation attached to it that feels restricted. A preemptive fail-like quality to it that already sets you up for mediocre success, that never really equates to what you have in your head.
Maybe that’s due to societal pressures of wanting some drastic change in our lives at the beginning of the year? When we arn’t quite ready to put the work in, still in hibernation mode. Maybe it has been slimmed down to a shorter timeline in order to meet '“success”, like a dry January or a month long experiment of living differently. Maybe resolutions feel like a wish of something better, outside of ourselves that feels out of reach… It feels like the end goal, not the journey. It feels like it’s based on results, not consistent growth. I don’t really know what it is but the term ‘resolution’ doesn’t resonate with me.
But the term & energy around the word ‘intention’ ? Now, that feels juicy. ‘Intention’ feels more grounded with deeper roots that can lead to more substantial, and ever lasting growth. It feels more encompassing of your whole self, instead of ‘just one thing you want to change.’ Intentions allow for flexibility, shapeshifting, alchemy of the present moment. Intention is the journey. Intention is by design. A precise, developed statement of words that aligns intrinsically to oneself. Deliberatively meditated on. On purpose. Soul-led and with the power if your Will behind it.
Over the past 10 years I have cultivated an intention practice with the threshold of New Years that I’ve shared with closed loved ones & family. I’m excited to bring this practice into workshop form, as the The North Star Framework.
To all my Elyites & Elyians! I am hosting an in-person workshop on Saturday December 28th! 1 - 4PM CT at the End of the Road Yoga Studio.
Honor yourself and the upcoming threshold of New Years, with a very special workshop - Creative Visioning 2025!
Reflect on 2024 and set clear intentions for 2025 in this fun and informative workshop with Joh, Founder of Sacred Saturdaze Outpost.
In this 3 hour workshop we will use the cycle of seasons to reflect on your personal 2024 year. We will then work with Tarot & Astrology to review the upcoming collective energies of 2025. Once we establish the collective energies, we will dive deeper into you using The North Star framework to create sacred, creative intentions for your personal upcoming 2025 year. A workbook is included with this offering. The goal of this workshop is for you to walk away with knowledge & tools and to feel inspired & prepared to walk through the New Year’s threshold!
I hope to bring this workshop into a virtual setting in the future, but for now it’s just for my immediate community of Ely, MN and those willing to travel to the North Pole!
I would love to see you there. Please share with friends, it’s going to be a potent time together as we call in & cross the New Years Threshold!
I am creating an in-depth booklet for the workshop that could potentially be available for sale if there’s interest - so let me know in the comments below!
