As 2025 draws to a close, I'm reflecting on the joys and struggles of this past year...for me personally, and for all of us collectively. I'm taking responsibility for my own inner work, and also recognizing that I can't do it alone.

"You have everything you need within you" can be a helpful thought if we've given our power away. Many of us have done this over the years...whether it's to our parents, teachers, governments, doctors, healers, institutions, co-dependent relationships, etc.

But it can be a painful thought if we think we're an island and don't need each other. Humans are a relationally dependent species. It's OK to need people. We're only going to get through this together. Together we rise.

That's why Wendy and I called our New Year's Day gathering, "Unity in Community." It's a time for us to connect with each other to welcome 2026 with intention. We'll be chanting a special healing meditation for ourselves and the greater world that will ripple out vibrations of care and love. And you'll receive the rejuvenating vibrations from a sound bath that is sure to start your new year on just the right note.
