Overflowing with Gratitude + 2 treats for you

I am overflowing with gratitude after yesterday's A-M-A-Z-I-N-G retreat!

I wanted to spread some of the love so today I have two fabulous (free) things to share with you.

1. The first video from my newest online offering, Reflect, Release, Renew. In it I guide you through a simple grounding meditation. It's a beautiful way to start your day with intention and it is only about 9 minutes long, making it easy to incorporate into your life! This is the first video I've ever recorded and I'm feeling a little sheepish about putting it out in the world. It is definitely moving me out of my comfort zone to post it here (as opposed to the private blog for the course) but in the spirit of growth I'm going for it! I hope you enjoy it!

2. I'm giving away a space in Reflect, Release, Renew! It starts May 1st and I am really looking forward to sharing it with the world! This class is all about simple but powerful practices to bring more mindfulness to your daily life. I craft my offerings around the seasons and for Spring I have included a focus on shedding what no longer serves us and making space for the new, a natural inclination this time of year. The course includes daily posts with videos, meditations, journal prompts, activities, and more - all designed to take 15 minutes or less. We will touch on a variety of topics - everything from noticing where our time goes to self-care at work to the power of unplugging. To read more about the course and sign up head over here. To enter the give away leave a comment on this post telling me what you wish to let go of this season. I'll randomly draw a winner on Thursday, April 26th at 9am (EST). You can enter anytime before then.

Here's the video and thank you so much for being here - I truly appreciate each and every one of my readers!

Two Inspiring Give-Aways

The Women's Yoga & Creativity Mini-Retreat yesterday was amazing! A fabulous group of women gathered at the studio and we spent the morning practicing yoga and meditation, sipping tea, and creating Inspiration Boards for 2012.

There were goody bags (of course!) and in honor of the New Year I'm giving away one goody bag to a lucky reader! It includes a journal, colorful pen, colored pencils, markers, a tea light candle, Yogi Relax Tea, an affirmation card by Cheryl Richardson, and a custom aromatherapy spray I created especially for my retreaters!

Here we are creating Inspiration Boards filled with images of our dreams for 2012. Many of the retreaters signed up for my Dare to Live Your Dreams Online Circle as a way to stay connected with their goals for 2012 and delve more deeply into exploring their dreams. I'm also giving away a free spot in this Online Circle! (You can participate from anywhere with Internet access.)

To enter both give-aways simply leave a comment on this post telling me what your dreaming of for 2012. I'll randomly choose two winners on Wednesday, January 11, 2012 at 9pm EST and post them on the blog on Thursday, January 12, 2012. (You can still enter if you attended the mini-retreat or signed up for the Online Circle already. If you're the winner I'll send you an additional goody bag or refund your payment for the Online Circle.)
