Your companion for the year ahead
A new year.
A meaningful
way to begin.
A new year is a gentle invitation to pause. An intention offers a meaningful way to answer it: rooted in love, an intention comes from a place of care, and no amount of money can buy it.
In this live online workshop, Kristeen will guide you through the reflective process at the heart of her Begin the New Year with Intention workbook. Drawing on gerontology, yoga and mindfulness, she offers a thoughtful space to honour the year you have lived, understand what shapes you, and choose, with love, how you want to live in the year ahead.
Through breath, guided reflection and quiet writing, you will leave with intentions that feel true to you and a simple practice to carry them through 2027.
Growth continues in every season of life. You are welcome just as you are.
Make space for what matters.
The year behind you
Arrive with a few easy breaths. Reflect on the moments, people and strengths that carried you.
The patterns within you
Explore the strength, the cost and the choice in the patterns that shape you. Imagine the year you want to build.
The way ahead
Choose your intentions for 2027 and turn them into a simple, everyday practice.
Your workbook stays with you, with a letter to your future self and seasonal check ins to return to throughout the year.
