Wanna know what's just as effective as raw doggin' a pandemic without a face mask?
New Year's Resolutions. Yep. Let's face it. They're bullshit.
Besides, we all know COVID-19 doesn't give a flying flute about your plans for the future!
So how do you prepare for the new year after a year like 2020? The year that will go down in history books as ummm... (rollercoaster? dumpster fire? nightmare? joy ride? adventure? blackout? parachute ripcord?)
Obviously, your plans for 2021 are gonna to take more than a spoonful of motivational sugar and that extra fairy dust in your back pocket.
<ENTER SEASONS OF BRAVERY RETREAT, wearing a super hero cape>
If you're ready to punt 2020 swiftly into orbit AND you also want to...
- stop burning down your life with non-decision
- get organized and ready for the new year
- shift your focus forward into the future
- and make a master game plan for 2021!
Then you'll fit right in!
Join fellow comrades and bravely look back on 2020's highs and lows so you can make grounded, resilient, flexible, and easy-to-implement plans for 2021!
Introvert Bonus: Virtual retreats let you stay snuggled up in the cozy comfort of your home.
(hello, pajamas! yes, please!)
Here's why YOU need this Seasons of Bravery Ritual & Retreat:
If you're hoping for good things from 2021 then it's gonna take...
- courage to make space for those things
- vulnerability (and a couple of deep breaths)
- flexibility to make all the necessary plans
- honesty to acknowledge successes or failures
- imagination to envision our next brave steps
Not everyone is up for something like that, but you're probably not just anyone, right? ;-)
The super good news is the invaluable strengths and resources found in this process. The time, gratitude, collecting of history, and expression of creativity is a huge boost and a fantastic start to the new year.
When it's done in a way that works uniquely with you and your life, then creative preparation and organization becomes crucial to your resilience, flexibility, and growth.
Bonus! Rolling our sleeves up to get it done together makes doing brave things more manageable and *gasp* FUN!

- 6 Live Group Sessions - 45-min each, 3 sessions both days, broken up into short, interactive activities and spaced out with breaks so you can do your solo exercises, deep dives, or other steps in the process.

Session 1 // Day 1
Welcome, Introductions & Deep Breaths
In this opening session we'll get things kicked off with introductions and expectations for the weekend! We'll also do some group activities to prepare your brain and body for the day before diving deep into our year-in-review of 2020 during the following break.
Session 2 // Day 1
Honesty & Gratitude for Things Past
You'll spend this session learning tools that make it easy to mine valuable planning info from 2020. Since this deep dive process can dredge up some heavy feels, you'll be armed with tools to ease the emotional side of combing through 2020's historical nuggets.
Session 3 // Day 1
Dreaming with a Vision of Possibility
Our final session of Day One is cleaning up your lenses so you can see 2021 with the perspective geared towards possibility. The evening's homework assignments are aimed at priming your subconscious to envision that next year could actually turn out better than you expected.
Session 4 // Day 2
Identifying Friction & More Deep Breaths
Our first session of Day Two entails a check-in with everyone, more group activities to prepare for the day, and an overview of how we can use our following break in the day to prepare for 2021. You'll learn how to catch the trouble spots ahead of time so you can ease those crises and headaches!
Session 5 // Day 2
Planning with a Power of Choice
Now that you're aware of the "caution zones" for 2021, we'll spend this second session and the following break pulling everything together into a game plan for the year. You'll end up with a rubric that works with you and your life's desired trajectory with room for flexibility too.
Session 6 // Day 2
Sharing & Celebration
In our final session, we'll wrap up any loose ends related to creating our map of the year. Our cherry on top of our time together is a really special group activity. You'll leave feeling ready for whatever 2021 will bring with enough time in the day to continue the preparation and celebration in your own way.
