Before the Year Is Over
Some things deserve our attention before we carry them forward.
A year can hold more than we've had time to consider.
The conversations that changed something. The responsibilities we carried. The things we hoped would happen, and those that took us by surprise.
And all the ordinary days in between.
We can move through an entire year tending to everything that needs us, only to discover how little time we've given to considering the life we've actually lived.
Before the Year Is Over is an invitation to do something about that.
Through three guided experiences, we'll bring reflection, embodied awareness, contemplative prayer, and deliberate moments of quiet into conversation with the lives we're living.
Not another list of things to accomplish.
Not an exercise in finding a lesson in everything difficult.
An opportunity to recognize what has been, become more present to what is, and consider what deserves to accompany us into what comes next.
Three Gatherings. One Continuing Conversation.
01 · Loose Ends
What have I lived?
Every year leaves something unfinished.
Through guided reflection, prayer, and embodied attention, we'll look back with honesty and compassion. Not to resolve everything, but to acknowledge the experiences, relationships, losses, gifts, and unexpected moments that have shaped the year.
02 · Before the Noise
What am I living?
Life rarely grows quieter simply because we need it to.
We'll consider the expectations, responsibilities, relationships, and demands shaping our present lives, particularly as the holidays approach.
An invitation to recognize what deserves our attention before the noise of the season begins making those decisions for us.
03 · What You Carry Forward
What deserves to come with me?
A new year does not require an entirely new life.
We'll consider what deserves to remain: the convictions we've come to hold, the relationships worth tending, the practices that sustain us, and the things we may be ready to carry differently.
Not resolutions made in a moment of enthusiasm, but thoughtful choices about the lives we're continuing to inhabit.
More Than Three Recordings
The experience doesn't end when a video does.
Each gathering is accompanied by reflection questions, gentle embodied practices, contemplative prayer, and invitations to bring what you're discovering into everyday life.
Between sessions, you'll have opportunities to explore the practice of attention, reflect through an Examen, and walk or trace a contemplative labyrinth.
There is no requirement to complete every exercise, arrive at a particular conclusion, or share anything personal.
You can participate privately, in your own space, at your own pace.
No previous experience with contemplative prayer or somatic practice is necessary.
Bring a journal, a willingness to pay attention, and the life you're already living.

Yours to Return To
Although this experience begins with the turning of a year, its value is not confined to the calendar.
The questions we carry, the relationships we tend, the responsibilities we navigate, and the need to live with greater attention do not disappear when January arrives.
Your purchase includes ongoing access to all three recordings and their accompanying practices.
Return to them when another season asks something of you. When circumstances change. When a familiar question takes on new meaning. Or when you simply recognize that it's time to pay attention again.
There is no deadline to complete the experience.
Begin Where You Are.
You do not need to wait for your calendar to clear, your questions to be answered, or your life to become something other than it is.
There is already something worth attending to.
The year you've lived deserves your attention. And so does the life still unfolding.
