The waning of the light and the close of the year are not simply endings…

They herald new beginnings.

A fallow garden is not withered up and forlorn…

It is brimmingly alive with potential from beneath the surface.

The what-ifs, oh-wells, and missed opportunities of this past year are not completely lost…

They remind you that something important wants to be revived.

This is the time of envisioning what is to be, rather than just going with everyone else’s flow.

A time of recognizing your innermost desires and calling them from within to without.

A time of acknowledging the sacred garden of life, and your willingness to become its Sacred Gardener.

Maybe you are feeling called to create something new.

Maybe you are feeling the need for change.

Maybe you sense the ending of a chapter, but have no idea how to begin the next one.

Maybe you want to feel ahead of time, instead of constantly dragged behind it.

Maybe, just maybe, this could be the time in which you step into the role of Creator of Your Sacred Life, and consciously shape the waves of creative energy that flow from you, rather than against you.

This is truly how to flourish in the garden of your very own life…

To come into harmony with the Creative Flow of Life, and become the conscious wielder of your own creative energy.

During this time together, you will:

• Learn how to become the Master Gardener of your life, art, and work.
• Come into harmonious flow with your own creative energy and the inherent growth cycles of nature.
• Understand creative resistance and how it can impede our inherent flow.
• Harvest the fruits of the past. Preserve the rootstock of your present. Sow the seeds of your next season.
• Learn that flourishing is truly possible when you claim your inherent creative gifts and genius for invention.
• Know that personal weather always happens, but your true creative compass will weather any storm.
• Create a divine Garden Plan for your unfolding florescence.

Begin the year ahead with a vision, aligning with the power of nature’s cycles, and riding the flow of your potent creative energy.
