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/
"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.
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!
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.
