Thank you for this piece! I couldn’t agree more, when I synced with nature’s cycles in understanding the seasons and that I too have seasons, so much changed for me. Loved this piece 🤍

Wonderful article! I will use these prompts and take some time over the weekend to reflect and write. Thank you for sharing.

Dang! I missed the special pricing. This is where all those planetary Earth energies fail me, lol. While contemplating and introspecting the end of 2024, I've told a few friends and family about my plans to take a 16-week writing course. Registering would be helpful 😹.

Thank you so so much for this. I first read on ig, and then came over here today to read further and reflect on these questions you offered. It was an emotional experience to really answer honestly and I am so grateful. I definitely want to sit in the dark of winter for the next couple of months as much as possible to nurture these tender parts that were neglected in the past year.

Aww Mae, this made me 🥹 I understand exactly what you mean. When I first started I was a hot mess… in tears but also felt liberating. It’s where I found self-love.. in the darkness of my inner self. Winter is sacred medicine.

This is fantastic - so often I try to jump to what I “need” to do. Thank you for sharing.

I used to do the same. This will make all the things make sense and click into place. I’m excited for you to try ❤️

Aligning with nature is a great way back to ourselves and each other! I too use to bee so great about my goal setting and vision boards this time of year, and now this approach and self reflection is so much more embodied and powerful 🙏🏼 Thank you for these wise instructions and prompts!

I do this type of reflection every season— seasonal reflections. It’s really great to step into each season with clarity.

Absolutely… I usually set goals for every 3 months and then check back in and then align a seasonal bases. Looking forward to speaking more on this, truly life changing ❤️‍🔥

The best newsletter I have received this year. I get prompted with many emails about new years resolutions and vision boards but with out any real context. I thank you so much Juliet for informing us on how to go inward and that its ok to pause and not feel pressured to manifest just for the sake of wanting without knowing our true needs!

Nilsa ❤︎ your words mean so much to me! I’m so grateful that the newsletter resonated with you. It’s so important to give ourselves the space to pause and reflect instead of rushing into actions that don’t align with our deeper truths. Thank you for sharing this— Much love! 💋

Last/this year, I put off setting goals for the year until Imbolc (Feb 1/2) and took January as a germination month. After reading this post, I have resolved (ha!) to do the same this coming year.

Yes! Love it…. January is my introspection month and I slow down as much as possible. I allow myself to process the last 12 months. I usually start my vision board early March to get those seeds planted right before Spring ❤︎

The questions resonate to the point of adding a glass of wine to the candle lit journaling session, each requires a level of authentic self-reflection, a few things jumped to the surface so quickly it’s almost paralyzing.
