For many years, I’ve had a deliberate way of completing one year and opening the next. As clients learned about this process, they asked to see it which eventually led me to sharing it more openly.

At its core, this reflection is a chance to pause and take honest stock of where you are in the leadership of your life.

Each year, as I grow, the process evolves. It started as strategic planning. Then journaling to endless questions, and now it’s something much quieter.

A practice of presence.

Presence is what happens when the noise drops and the truth becomes audible again. When the questions shift from What should I do? to What is life asking of me now? From What do I want next? to What is ready to emerge in me?

At its core, this reflection is a chance to pause and take honest stock of where you are in the leadership of your life. This shift from efforting to listening, can only happen when we slow down to reflect, calm the nervous system and tune in.

What This Gathering Is

This is not a goal-setting workshop.
It’s not a strategic planning session for your year.

It’s a guided reflection experience that helps you slow down enough to hear your own wisdom, take stock of what this past year has required of you, and sense what is on the other side of the threshold you’re standing at now.

Over two hours, I’ll guide you through a simple, grounded reflection process designed to help you:

• Look back at the year with honesty — what shaped you, what stretched you, what mattered

• Notice where your time, energy, and attention actually went

• Quiet the mental noise so you can hear your own wisdom again

• Sense the threshold you’re standing at now — what is ending, what is emerging

• Clarify how you want to enter the year ahead, not as a list of goals, but as an orientation

You’ll receive a short reflection workbook in advance so you can arrive grounded and ready.

Doing This Together

Last year, I invited a small group into this space. We explored devotion — what we believed we were devoted to, what our lives revealed we were actually devoted to, and what was quietly asking for our attention. We left clearer and feeling greater agency over what we wanted to create.

Doing this in community matters. And doing it with people you love matters too. This year, I am expanding the circle. My dream is to build circles of people through the different Ages & Stages of life learn from one another. For the price of one ticket, you’re welcome to bring one partner, friend, parent, or a child (13+) who might benefit from learning how to slow down and listen inwardly.

Presence is a skill we learn to cultivate.
One that shapes everything that comes next.

The older I get, the more certain I am that true agency begins with presence. When we can hear ourselves clearly, every part of life — leadership, family, purpose, relationships — aligns differently. More cleanly. More honestly.

If this feels like the right way to cross into the new year, I’d love to have you with us.
