Hello Friends, new and old!
Welcome to this space for creative connection + contemplation. Welcome to pausing, noticing, reflecting, writing, sharing. Welcome to connecting the outer landscape around you with your vast and deep inner landscape, the place that holds all of the seasons and your emotions and dreams and energy and shadow.
It’s a lot work to be human. Even on the good days, when things are going kind of okay. Daily life can strip us down, exhaust us.
Our September theme of renewal has focused on finding our way back to our creative spirits.
Where does this sense of renewal come from? Where does it live inside of YOU?
It’s the final Sunday of the month—that’s when I share a Guided Meditation + writing prompt. Take a listen to today’s meditation about finding the source of your renewal at the arrow above. Then return to the writing prompt below to capture your experience and discoveries.
If guided meditation isn’t your thing, no worries…you can head right to the prompt.
Writing Practice: Set aside 5-7 minutes for this practice. Write in a journal or open a ‘Journey with The Season’ document where you can return each Sunday.
Prompt: What images arose on your journey? What emotions and energy came up? What did your place of renewal look and feel like? What did the invitation to leave your worries/concerns bring up for you?
Capture any and every detail you remember connected to your source of renewal.
*If you skipped the guided meditation, write about a place where you go that renews your energy. Write about what happens inside of you when you visit that place.
I’d love to read your experiences!
Deepening Practice: Listen to the meditation another time during the week, especially in a moment when you’re feeling depleted. Notice what different kinds of images and ideas arise.
Take photos of things in your landscape that connect you to the place of renewal. Share them with me!
