Last Saturday twenty-two people from ages 0-80+ and everywhere inbetween gathered in the hall to share food, silly questions, and skills with yarn, wool, and fabric. At my table the “would you rather” questions were the hit of the evening, bringing all ages into the conversation. We will gather again on December 20th for our second annual blanket fort and restorative rest dinner. If you weren’t able to make it last weekend, I hope you’ll mark your calendars!
As 2025 nears its end I’m not sure where to put my hope for the new year ahead, but one thing I keep coming back to is real face to face connection and fun with people in my life. Sunday mornings and community events are my favourite part of this job, largely because I get to be with people in three dimensional real time. To talk with you, explore with your kids, and have some fun. It’s definitely where inspiration lives.
Where do you feel moments of transcendance, or being vividly alive? Is it putting your body in the woods or near water? Talking or laughing with friends? Meeting new people with shared values? Singing? In deep silence?
If the answer is clear to you, how can you find space for more of that this holiday season? And if you’re not sure, perhaps you can find some space to let something arise.
Whatever this month brings to you, I look forward to hearing about it next time I see you.
With care,
Kiersten
May you be well, may we find peace
