Step into the New Year with clarity, softness, and a renewed sense of direction. Clear the Path, Call in the Light is a full-day women’s retreat crafted as a sacred pause—an invitation to release the weight of the past year, reconnect with your inner wisdom, and welcome the energy of the year ahead with intention and grace.Held just after the turning of the calendar—and as we enter the vibrant Year of the Horse—this retreat offers a nourishing blend of movement, ritual, rest, and creativity. Together we gather as a circle of women, tending the inner landscape so our visions for 2026 can emerge rooted and real.
Opening Circle & Intention Setting
We begin in community, settling into a warm and welcoming circle. Through gentle grounding and breathwork, we tune into the body, soften around the edges of the day, and speak our intentions as we cross this threshold together
.Reflective Journaling: Looking Back, Letting Go
Guided writing prompts invite you to explore your year—its lessons, its beauty, its challenges—and notice what is ready to be released. This is a time for honesty, clarity, and compassionate truth-telling with yourself
.Releasing Ceremony
Together, we let go of what no longer serves. You may choose scripted release words or speak your own. There will be a symbolic offering—each woman releasing her burdens into the care of the elements
.Gentle Yoga Practice
A grounding 30-minute flow led by Jennette, crafted to support ease, compassion, and reconnection with your body. Suitable for all levels.
Community Lunch
A nourishing catered meal to share together. A moment to rest, connect, and savor the simple joy of being in community. (Dietary preferences will be collected at registration.)
Meditation & Yoga Nidra for Visioning
Guided by Dawn, this deep meditation and nidra journey helps you soften into your inner knowing. This is where the seeds of your new year begin to take shape—quiet, intuitive, soul-led
.Second Journaling Practice
After the stillness, we return to the page—this time focusing on what you want to call in. Insight tends to rise easily after nidra, making this session especially powerful.
Wheel of the Year Crafting Session
Led by Jennette, you will create a personal Wheel of the Year—a hand-crafted vision board of seasons, intentions, energies, and dreams for 2026.
All supplies are provided, and you are welcome to bring your favorite tools (watercolors, markers, magazines for collage, stickers, images, etc.).
Closing Sharing Circle
We end by gathering once more in the December 22, 2025, ity. Each woman may share a reflection,, intention, or moment of clarity to seal the day.
After registration, you’ll receive a confirmation email with a link to a Google Form. Please share your dietary restrictions and any accessibility needs so we may support you fully.
This retreat is a sanctuary—a day to slow down, shed what has weighed on you, reconnect with your inner compass, and step into the new year clear, inspired, and lit from within.
If you feel the quiet nudge to reset, to vision, to breathe deeply again—this day is for you.
