Returning to Presence: Reclaiming Your Life in the Here and Now

As winter blankets the world in stillness, we’re offered a natural pause—a time to reflect, recalibrate, and begin again. It’s no wonder the start of a new year aligns with this season. Many of us set resolutions during this time, promising ourselves a fresh start, yet often these intentions falter because they’re rooted in the past or aimed at an imagined future. What if this year, instead of focusing on where you’ve been or where you think you’re going, you chose to come fully into the present moment?

The ancient Aramaic word for death, motha, translates to “to exist somewhere else.” This profound truth reminds us that when we live in the past—replaying regrets—or in the future—clinging to worry or expectation—we die to the present moment. We lose connection with the rich, vibrant reality unfolding right here, right now.

In winter’s quiet, we are invited to return to ourselves, to step away from distractions and embrace the stillness. This is where real impact begins—not through the grand plans of tomorrow but through the power of now. Presence is where true transformation happens. It’s where we heal, grow, and create meaningful change.

This month’s Sacred Awakening Circle, Returning to Presence, offers a path back to yourself. Together, we will explore how the ego and the seven powers—pride, anger, ignorance, and more—can pull us away from the now. Through movement, meditation, sound, and reflection, we will gently gather the scattered parts of ourselves and anchor them into the present. By reclaiming our energy from the past and the future, we become whole, empowered, and ready to experience life as it unfolds.

What if, instead of setting another resolution, you resolved to live fully in this moment? Imagine a year where your actions come not from fear or longing but from the clarity and peace of presence. Join us as we step into the new year not by chasing change but by embracing the now.

Together, let’s discover the beauty, stillness, and power of living fully in the present.❤🌹
