Just registered for this. Some support reflecting and thinking about the coming new year x

With the arrival of a new year, you may be reflecting on how 2025 has been - bumpy, brilliant, or something in between - and starting to think how you’d like this year to bring.

With that comes the cultural push to set New Year’s resolutions. If we may be so bold: don’t!

This isn’t the time to be making big commitments for the year ahead. If you’re really feeling it then go ahead, but our advice is not to make them too big or too fixed, not yet.

Energetically, now is not the time. Nature is resting and so should we.

We’re in the depths of winter, the season of reflection and gestation, not of pushing forward.

The time for visioning and intention-setting comes a little later, with the return of light and the beginning of spring. When the snowdrops are in full bloom around the Celtic fire festival of Imbolc at the end of January.

So let yourself off the hook right now :)

Reflecting on 2025 is valuable, as it will inform what’s to come, but allow your vision for the year ahead space to grow, slowly, over the coming weeks as the light gradually returns.

Go easy on yourself. Enjoy this quieter time through the holiday period.

For now, simply hold the intention that your vision will come in the spring.

To support you with this, we’re holding a free event on the evening of Thursday 8th January to help you begin the process.

Our focus will be on developing a spiritual practice that truly fits around you. One that offers clarity, guidance, and support without taking loads of time or needing a regular commitment.

We’ll explore how to connect with nature and the Otherworld, receive clear messages from your spirit guides, and allow your vision to unfold, step by step.

All in support of living the life you came here to live. The life you want to live. A life of freedom.

And for now, we wish you a happy time over these coming days as you welcome in a new year :)

With warmth,

Nicola & Jason

We've been opening a few presents at a time with Grace, still a few to go! Thank you so much for the gifts some of you have sent her for her first Christmas. Feeling full with gratitude at your generosity and love for her and me! One present didn't have a label and I can't remember who handed it to me at the Cookie People! Let me know who you are who got her the gorgeous red suit with the Teddy on the front, so beautiful! Thank you. Here she is opening a couple more last night from Gemma (Stick Man) and Shirley (a stunning dress, blouse and tights) ###

AT THE END OF THE YEAR

As this year draws to its end,
We give thanks for the gifts it brought
And how they became inlaid within
Where neither time nor tide can touch them...

Days when beloved faces shone brighter
With light from beyond themselves;
And from the granite of some secret sorrow
A stream of buried tears loosened.

We bless this year for all we learned,
For all we loved and lost
And for the quiet way it brought us
Nearer to our invisible destination.

JOHN O'DONOHUE

Merry Christmas to everyone, I hope you have had a wonderful few days filled with love and laughter. I heard the Christmas carol concert by Messingham Choir was a great success and the church was packed!

Sadly I heard yesterday that Mary Hansford has passed away and it is her funeral on Tuesday. Mary was such a lovely lady, so smiley and kind. I am really upset to not be able to attend her funeral, I have family coming to stay from London on Tuesday and Wednesday and I cannot change it. I will be saying some prayers and sending my love to her family via some of you lovely people who are attending.

My love to you all as we enjoy this wonderful celebration and also think with love of those who can't be with us this Christmas ###
