I was blessed to participate in a deeply nourishing online ritual as we move into the darkest period of the year and shift into the light.
Sally Kempton offered a solstice reset, releasing the karmas of 2020 (oh boy!) and creating intentions for 2021. I have read her articles, her beautiful book on meditation, as well as got to hear her speak at the Movement Center ashram back in the day.
One of her articles that I read a few years ago in Yoga Journal was about sankalpas, or intentions, and the new year. She provided a ritual practice, involving journaling and fire. I used that ritual intention setting, and it powerfully manifested that year and beyond, so I have great respect for the power of intention setting and her wisdom, and I signed up straight away for this offering.
The question that she offered us to contemplate is what is the deepest truth you are ready to live in 2021?
