Happy New Year to you all!

We are so excited for what 2025 has in store. A new year means fresh beginnings, and we have something special coming your way. Stay tuned for our new brand, an inspired website, exciting online offerings, and a whole new look for our retreat experiences. It’s going to be an amazing year of transformation!

But for now, I just want to wish you all a marvellous 2025. May it bring you joy, peace, fun, and adventure.

Personally, I’m glad to see the new year. Last year was tough in many ways, but the more I talk to friends, colleagues, family, and even strangers, the more I realise that no one has it all good. If they say they do, they’re probably lying. There’s always at least one part of life that could use a little tweaking—a challenge in finances, relationships, health, work, family, or friendships. No one is exempt from struggles, because life isn’t meant to be perfect. It’s an ebb and flow, just like the seasons. There’s no perpetual summer.

And that’s part of what makes life so beautiful—the challenges help us grow. They push us to evolve, and that’s why we’re here.

I sometimes think of life as being divided into thirds. One third of the time, things are going great. You’re high as a kite, loving life, everything is falling into place—maybe a new job, a great relationship, or just feeling on top of the world. The second third might feel a bit blah. You’re in a bit of a rut—fitness is stale, work feels uninspiring, or you just can’t find your spark. The final third tends to bring some drama or a challenge—there’s a problem that needs solving, something to let go of, or some deep struggle to face.

But here’s the key: life is never all bad. Just like the sun follows the rain, joy always follows pain. So as we step into 2025, let’s remember that we are all in this together. Stop comparing yourself to others, and take comfort in the fact that no one, as far as I know, has figured out how to escape the lows of life.

So, do you. Stay in your lane. Stay focused. Stay peaceful. Stay vibrant. And trust that all shall be well.

Happy New Year to you all!
