Happy New Year!

The beginning of a new year is a great time to do what the Venerable Bruno Lanteri counseled everyone to do, “begin again, immediately.” What beautiful encouraging words that remind us not to get stuck, bogged down, treading water; just give yourself permission to begin again.

What areas of your life are unhealthy? Make a list. Do you have a disordered relationship with a person, food, alcohol, tobacco, pornography, technology? Talk to a trusted person. Explore the disordered relationship and what you would prefer. As Mr. Rodgers used to say, “if we can mention it, we can manage it!” Imagine having a weekly, confidential group where you could come and work on the areas of your life you’d like to improve.

Adulting 101 includes knowing how to take care of your physical body. If your weeks don’t involve regular exercise, breathing practice, adequate sleep, good nutrition and hydration, start there. (Do not pass go, do not collect $200.) If you haven’t had a physical or a dental appointment in the last year, schedule one now.

What some refer to as “mental health,” we think of as soul care. Where are you on the path of your soul’s journey? How do you tend to the part of you that is connected to all of creation? How familiar are you with the parts of you that get in the way of being the best version of yourself? This landscape comprises mindfulness, introspection, meditation, the pursuit of beauty (art, music, nature, healthy relaxation and sensuality), curiosity, silence, solitude and stillness all in pursuit of union with our Creator.

We invite you to contemplate what it would be like to be in a loving, supportive group to journey alongside you into all the nooks and crannies of your life? We are always here to support you individually or in couples and family work, but we know the power and magic of group process and we encourage you to consider it.

Wishing you love and light as you journey on,
