a word of wisdom to journey into the New Year!

HOLY PAUSES are essential...There is NO MAP.
We can only drop deep into our hearts to guide us through our next steps"

On the Silent Path of the Labyrinth
Make time to PAUSE and drop down into the Quiet
to listen, wait and with open hearts.
Together we will lean into the Poetic Wisdom of Rainer Maria Rilke
and Christine Valters Paintner
as we ask Spirit for a "WORD" of WISDOM
to embrace, anchor and ground us into the New Year.
Input will be gleaned from a New 2025 Publication "Give Me a Word"
by Christine Valtners Painter (https://a.co/d/2sB00UI)
Participants are encouraged to obtain the book for continued processing
beyond this one day of introduction
