Aligning Values and intentions for 2025
On January 25, five planets (Mercury, Mars, Saturn, Jupiter and Venus) will be visible to the naked eye, creating a rare “planetary parade.” Many believe that this alignment in the universe and the energy it brings create ideal conditions for reflection, and for setting intentions to align our values, goals, desires, and actions in the coming year.
Whether you ascribe that kind of power to the universe or not, the beginning of the year is an excellent time to devote ourselves to articulating the ways we want to show up in the new year. Looking back at the previous year, we can take stock of how, where, and to whom we gave our time, talents, love, friendship, and money. Looking forward, we can visualize and plan for the year ahead.
Many of us have mixed feelings at best about next year and the changes it may bring. There is power and hope in the way each of us shows up as our highest and best selves.
What will that look like for you? Who do you want to be in community with? What do you want to be doing? If you could allow your imagination to run free, what would you DREAM of doing? Writing a book? Walking the Camino? Taking singing lessons? Running for office?
Aspects of this retreat will be a little different than previous ones, with some weekly prompts and tools to prepare in advance for a day together creating beautiful, individual mandalas that capture your intentions. When we’re together, we’ll talk about the neuroscience behind visualization and meditation and how to use your mandala in the months ahead to stay focused on your goals.
As always, you can count on specially curated movement, yoga, sound and breath work led by Maude Moreno, RYT, and soul-soothing, delicious food from Chef Stephanie Klein.
Spend a day nourishing your mind, body, and spirit with us on January 25, 2024 at the amazing Whitehead Lodge. While we work on the website links for payment, you can email your interest to us at whollynourishedretreats@gmail.com. We can’t wait to spend a day in cosmic community with you!
