New Year’s Intention Mapping Celebrations
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 from western Mass to western NC 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.
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?
A mutual friend introduced me to this process, which she hosted annually. She inspired me to host it annually. And I've inspired others' hosting, including my dear college roomie Sharon Neubauer, who's hosting through her studio Opus Yoga in Maryland. If you've landed here because of Sharon, welcome! Her event registration is here.
