Come with materials, memorabilia, intentions, and collage your heart’s desire. Or come with empty hands and your mind a blank canvas.  Come ready to discover this year’s intuitions—of the light and the shadow.

Since 2013, I've been hosting this reflective process among kindred spirits early January. With our family's courageous relocation to Burnsville in 2018, I wanted to share this tradition with my new community: starting with blank poster board, unsure really of what I want for myself for the new year, then after perusing magazines together, talking, and ripping out images and words that resonate, direction becomes clearer... and so do I. Now in 2023, after two years of pandemic hiatus, and after a family tragedy, I still want to rally to revive this event. And I'd love your support holding space for this brave vulnerability: for me and for yourself, too.

Often I don't understand why I'm called to include particular images or words on my intention map (or as some say, vision board or collage). But by the end of the year I understand, often shockingly. We can keep the intention map central in our homes to remind us daily of the year's mission. Sometimes what comes of it can be quite a surprise.

What may manifest—via both conscious wants and higher inspiration—for your new year’s intentions?

Here are some things new this year: a move from Burnsville public library to Mt Mitchell Eco Retreat, an introduction to the healing modality Wholeness Energetics, and a volunteer sampling of muscle testing with vision boarding. Event listed also in Celo's Cabin Fever University calendar.

Interested?  Here's how:

1. Contact me below to reserve your place with payment before noon Friday, January 13th. I'll reply with payment links to PayPal, Venmo, and Zelle. If you don't see a reply from me, check your Junk folder and/or add my RHH email to your Contacts.

2. Let me know then if you need handicapped parking & access and/or if you're also available next Sunday the 22nd if we need to postpone due to weather.

3. Gather materials ahead, if you like. Want your own magazines? Aside from friends and family, local libraries and recycling centers often provide them. Want eco-conscious backing? Repurpose cardboard or boxboard from your recycling bin. Want your own scissors & glue? Dollar stores sell them, though I'll provide poster board sections & some craft supplies.

4. Reflect on intentions ahead, if you like.

5. Bring a dish to share; optional materials, mask, and hydration; plus a few dollars as a "love offering" for MMER's donating of space, tea & coffee.

6. Arrive SLIGHTLY BEFORE 12:30 so we may create a safe container together. MMER address: 430 Otter Rock Road, Burnsville. MMER directions: from 80 a left onto Clear Creek after the Carolina Hemlocks campground, a right onto Otter Rock before the bridge, then second right into the "Overflow Parking" lot.

7. Park in MMER's "Overflow Parking"  and walk up to the main lodge, unless you've arranged ahead for 1 of 3 handicapped parking spots.

8. Stay as suits you, with event ending at 4:30pm.

9. Put your map in a central location, visit with it daily, and begin manifesting.

10. Check-in on map —on our own with journaling or socially with a partner or group—using the prompts below through the year.

11. Schedule 1 or more Wholeness Energetics Sessions with me to discover & dissolve what may be subconsciously blocking your manifesting.

12. Repeat next year....
