2025 Planning Session:
Reflection | Direction for What’s Next

Treat yourself to clear, focused energy to begin the new year. Join Elena Brower and Michelle Martello for a guided session featuring reflection, visioning, and prompts to plan for the year ahead.

Plan for the year you want.

“…wanted to let you know how the Reflection|Direction workshop has unfolded. My partner and I sat together and watched the workshop with the intention of getting clear on our shared vision as partners. We recognized that the area of family/relationships held the most energy for us and made the decision to begin our move to live nearer to our family and oldest friends… Going through the workshop together felt like climbing the ladder of clarity and intention.

We are working now towards this vision step by step, with the recognition that this one thing may take a long time but that steady progress is what matters. Returning again to this resource a few months later, I see a sense of possibility where before things felt unmanageable and unclear. Thank you so much for creating a tool to guide us through this; thanks to this work, my partner and I are building a deeper capacity to manage this big and uncertain life change vision together.

With so much gratitude, N.”
