I joined a Seasonal Shift half day workshop with a focus on Rest and Selfcare last weekend (at the Bow Sanctuary) - there January was also discussed as a "bridge" month which I really liked and resonates with the idea of an in-between month.
I shared in a friend chat about the workshop and one friends response was "I don't have time for rest or selfcare, but I hope you do". Initially I thought it wasn't even worth responding, but eventually decided to- reflecting on how its not a badge of honor to disregard these things, though they might feel like an induglence they are essential to our health and wellness- which is not just for us, but the people around us too. I hope we all can make space for rest in 2024!
You have to scroll down quite a bit, but the "Seasonal SHIFT Shop" is what I went to, theres one for each season. They have a ton of other great looking workshops too. https://bowsanctuary.com/events-workshops/
I've just discovered Yoga with Adrienne! I love serendipity. I so appreciate your continued thoughts on the liminality of this time, feels like a big and very natural exhale. Thank you!
Yes! Thank you Anna! I am not a go go get um kind of January person, but I don't actually want to hibernate either. I'm not ready to produce, but I am ready to practice, and the only thing I am asking of myself right now is to "make it to the mat".
"a practice of paying attention, of observing of existing" reminded me of how Deanne Marsigliese from Pixar talks about exploring , observing and taking in the world around her, documenting, storing away and eventually leading to character ispirations down the road.
PN- Thank you for sharing, I the words you shared stuck with me and I looked up Aly Halpert this morning since I wasnt familiar -- the song feels so healing https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Biv9Yh_z4QU
Waving at you from the other side of one of the millions of screens playing Yoga with Adrienne for a much-needed self-check-in in the day!

Thank you for this! "Loosen, loosen, let go, let go" a good mantra for the new year.
