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 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. 

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? Event listed also in Celo's Cabin Fever University calendar.

Interested?  Here's how:

  1. Contact me below to reserve your place with payment by the day prior. I'll reply with payment details for PayPal, Venmo,  Zelle, and cash. If you don't see a reply from me, check your Junk Folder and/or add my RHH email to your Contacts. Let me know then if you need handicapped parking & access and/or if you're also available the following Sunday if we need to postpone due to weather.

  2. OPTIONAL: Gather materials ahead. Though we'll supply magazines, poster board, cardboard, kid scissors & glue, if you have preferences about any, certainly bring your own. We always welcome more magazines.

  3. OPTIONAL: Bring last year's intention map, to share your process & realizations.

  4. OPTIONAL: Reflect on intentions ahead. Many of us simply discover them that day.

  5. Bring a snack/dish to share, optional materials, optional mask, and own hydration; plus $5-$10 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. OPTIONAL: Check-in on map —on our own with journaling or socially with a partner or group—using the prompts below through the year.

  11. OPTIONAL: Schedule 1 or more Wholeness Energetics Sessions with me to discover & dissolve what may be subconsciously blocking any of the allowing & manifesting.

  12. OPTIONAL: Repeat next year....
