Preparing for the New Year at The Haven

As we prepare to step into the new year, I wanted to take a moment to reflect. Yegge, my boyfriend dreads this time of year because it means it’s time to be mindful, set intentions, lean into refining existing core values or identify new values for the upcoming year.  For me, I’ll continue to focus on family, authenticity, and adventure,  and will be adding “health” to my list.  

As I mentioned last month, I began an intuitive eating journey with the incredible Andrea Travis. It has been a transformative experience, teaching me the value of embracing the process rather than seeking quick fixes.

Over the past few months, I have had the privilege of working closely with Andrea. Through her guidance, I have learned to listen to my body's cues, honor my hunger and fullness, and let go of restrictive dieting patterns. Andrea's compassionate approach has empowered me to make peace with food and my body, fostering a healthier relationship with both.

One of the most valuable lessons I have learned is the importance of patience and perseverance. Intuitive eating is not a linear journey, but rather a process of self-discovery and growth. It requires us to let go of societal pressures and embrace our unique needs and desires. By focusing on the process, rather than fixating on immediate results, I am beginning to truly experience the freedom and joy that intuitive eating offers.

As we embark on this new year, I am excited to share two upcoming programs that will further enhance our well-being and self-care practices. In January, we will be embarking on a 30-day team yoga, meditation and nutrition challenge. This challenge will not only strengthen our bodies but also nurture our minds and spirits. Together, we will cultivate a sense of inner peace and mindfulness, setting the tone for a fulfilling year ahead.

Following the yoga and meditation challenge, in February, we will be diving into the "Make Peace with Your Plate" program. Led by Andrea Travis herself, this program will provide us with invaluable tools and insights to heal our relationship with food and our bodies. Through a series of workshops, discussions, and personalized guidance, we will learn to nourish ourselves from a place of self-love and acceptance.

I will be sending out more information about these offerings in the next few days. As we embark on these transformative programs, let us remember that the journey is just as important as the destination. Let's embrace the process, celebrate our progress, and support one another along the way. Together, we can create a community rooted in self-care, compassion, and intuitive living.

My hope for you this coming new year, is that it’s filled with self-discovery, growth, and the courage to embrace the process. Trust in your intuition, honor your body, and let go of the need for quick fixes. Remember, true transformation comes from within!

Namaste,
