End the Year in the Clear
Begins Tuesday, November 25 2025
4pm PT (7pm ET)
4 Weekly sessions online via Zoom
Letting go to create something new
Do you want something different for your life? New clarity, relationships, purpose, work, or direction? One of the best ways to create something new is to attend to and complete the old unfinished business that's holding you back.
Culling, completing, and moving on
Projects we haven't finished, decisions we haven't acted on, and clutter in our homes or lives are like spider webs tying us down. In the growing darkness at the end of the year, let's gather together to close loops, cut cords, and clear space.
Winter Solstice - more than the longest night
As the days grow shorter, let's complete and release what our hearts know is no longer needed. This four-week walk to Solstice is an invitation to shed what doesn't serve before the wheel turns to a new year. Wrapping up, sticking the landing, and clearing the crud is going to feel great in this gathering of people ready to clear the space for something new while cheering each other along.
A nourishing table in a collaborative container
This four week journey is for people interested in co-creating a supportive and courageous community. Why courage? Because that stuff hanging over your head or nagging you at night probably isn't there just by chance.

Building Community:
-
You'll be part of a small, supportive circle. We will create community agreements for meaningful exchange, and be courageous and playful while we support each other to end the year in the clear!
-
Please plan to attend and contribute. This is an opportunity to show up for yourself and the group. Your presence contributes to the whole.
-
Note: Introverts and private people - I got you. You will not be put on the spot.
-

Wondering if this is right for you?
Smile, and try asking your body what it knows. Here's one way to do it:
-
Stand and notice the subtle sensations of your body to get a baseline of where you are now.
-
Set a mat or paper in front of you to represent this course.
-
Step onto the mat with the intention to try out the feel of this group for you at this time, and track any changes of sensation or emotions.
-
Notice: Are your eyes open? Are you breathing more deeply? Are you standing taller? Is there a sense of a smile or uplift? Then this could be for you.
End the Year in the Clear Registration
A sliding payment scale is available for this offering. For more context, the Many Ways' payment flow philosophy is described below.
Payment Flow with Many Ways
A philosophical, experiential, and value-informed approach
I long for a world in which there is ample, equitable access to support and services at every scale of the social system. To realize that vision, I believe we must find new, compassionate structures that meet us where we are and encourage our hearts onward. Small, courageous experiments build our collective capacity.
The Many Ways approach to payment flow is one such experiment. It recognizes that what is equitable (fair to the circumstances) is not necessarily equal (the same for all). Different people at various times have diverse needs and capacities. This is life.
This approach seeks to balance individual flexibility with being in one another’s care.
Please choose the best rate for you and your financial reality.
For those in a position to give, I gratefully accept contributions above the stated ranges. Speaking to the ultimate version of my ultimate vision, I invite donation of retreat center land and/or space(s) to root this work in Place.
For those in a time of request, I see you and welcome you. I generally know one week prior to an event if additional partial scholarships are available. Please email me in the last week before an event if you'd like to make an inquiry.

"I think it is always a great idea to go deeper at the end of the year, to reflect and plan. I know this will be a lovely experience."
"My mantra for the year was release and receive. I'm ready for that final push. There are patterns I want and need to release before moving on."
"I'm signing up because I'm a big believer in the value of constantly polishing my mirror. I also am looking for supportive community."
"I'd like to take the opportunity to see my world in a different way. I'd like more balance, focus, and peace."
