A New Day
A sacred time to share in the dawning of what’s new.
Let’s watch this cosmic sunrise together.
I imagine this day to be like watching a cosmic sunrise together, shedding light on the next phase of our lives, individually and collectively.

The Initial Inspiration
I don’t know much about astrology, but more and more I feel connected to the fractal movements of the cosmos and how they reflect what’s going on for me and for us.
The inspiration for this retreat day is the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction, which reflects the big changes that I and others in my life are personally experiencing. How about you?
Here’s what I’ve been told about this astrological event:
The Jupiter-Uranus conjunction will be a pivotal moment of liberation, expression, and revolution.
When these progressive, expansive planets join forces every 14 years, we experience breakthroughs that can change the trajectory of our lives.
We can expect to feel a surge of innovative ideas, intuitive hunches, and the desire to create a new reality for ourselves.
The Insight
I have come to understand the spontaneous calling of this sacred day as an opportunity for us to witness together and in each other the dawning of a new day/phase/chapter of our lives, individually and collectively.
This day is an opportunity for us to sense into the light and life that has been naturally arising for us, to witness and reflect that in each other, and to step into the future unfolding now.
About This Retreat Day
I feel inspired to observe this as a day of retreat for myself, and I am inviting you and other beautiful people to join me for any part or all of it.
At this last minute, it will be a small group. I imagine 2-6 people at any given time.
