January 1st. The freshest of all new pages, a clean slate, a door left ajar for us to step through.
All of our lives, we've been sold this idea of turning over a new leaf for January. New routines, new health plans, giving up vices - whatever it is, we boldly state our intention and hope that we can achieve it whilst in the depths of midwinter.
And yet.
If, like me, you follow the land and not the calendar, you will see that the earth is still asleep. Bulbs still rest in the ground, energy continues to be conserved but from a cultural point of view, we are encouraged to bloom against the natural rhythms of life.
We wonder why our resolutions fail and it's because we are going against the grain. Against the tide. Against nature.
Leave your intentions until spring and join me in honouring our natural cycles - all of my classes acknowledge this in their own special way but Restorative, in particular, aligns deeply with this time of year.
Have a peaceful evening 🤍
