In the Jewish mystical tradition of Kabbalah, autumn marks the New Year, a time when we are called to reflect on what we’ve been holding on to (conscious and unconscious) and release what is no longer serving us in preparation for the blessings that are coming our way in the months ahead.
Many years ago I celebrated this New Year tradition with family back on the East Coast. We dipped apples into honey (to symbolize the sweetness we were welcoming in), shared challah bread, and offered blessings to each other. I watched and listened as my dad, his brother, and my aunt recited the Hebrew prayers they’d all grown up with.
I’d never heard my dad speak Hebrew before (I grew up celebrating Catholic holidays with my mom and her side of the family, my dad a willing and active participant in them), and I was struck by how he remembered the words, even all of these years later. What we learn in our childhoods has a way of staying with us, even when we aren't actively thinking about it being there.
Since that bright autumn day, I’ve found myself returning to this New Year tradition every Fall in my own way. Sometimes I pull tarot cards and light a candle; other times I play music and journal, or sit down for a deep meditation or breathwork session. Regardless of the form this ritual takes each year, the intention is always the same:
To take responsibility for what is mine and give back what never belonged to me. To hold myself and the people around me in compassion. To create space to shift into a radically different movie for what comes next in my life, work, and relationships
This year, I invite you to join me. 💖
On Monday, October 14th, I will be offering a free fall RESET workshop for anyone who feels called to attend.
✨ We’ll begin with a short tone set and reflective exercise to leave any distractions at the door so we can be present for our time together.
✨ I’ll pull cards for the group, tapping into the collective energy of what we’re being asked to let go of and release at this time.
✨ We’ll move into a powerful subconscious healing practice I share with private clients that gets to the root of old patterns and belief systems that are ready to be left behind.
✨ We’ll close with a manifestation meditation to lock in your desires and welcome the energy of the person you are meant to become this year.
Grab your spot (link is in the comments) & share this invitation with anyone you know who might like to celebrate with us. 💖
