Mindful Merriment: A Soulful Approach to the Holidays

Daylong Program | Recordings from Sunday, December 8

Step into a day of relaxation and inspiration as Jeannie guides you through a heartfelt approach to navigating the holiday season with intention and self-care. Within the holiday experience lies a complex tapestry of family dynamics, cultural pressures, and personal aspirations. Despite our best intentions, we often find ourselves stressed, disconnected, or falling into old patterns during what we hope may be a time of celebration and connection. 

Mindful Merriment offers a wholehearted path to finding genuine meaning, heartful presence, and self-nourishment amidst the often overwhelming expectations and emotions that can accompany this time of year.

Throughout the two recorded sessions, you will be guided through a series of nurturing meditations, reflective exercises, and teaching sessions that will support you to rest into your authentic vision for the holidays, allowing you to fully embrace the beauty of the season while navigating its challenges gracefully. By becoming aware of your inner landscape and the external pressures you face, you'll discover how to create meaningful experiences that align with your deepest values and bring true merriment to your holiday season.



What this program offers:

  • A chance to rest and be nourished by deep presence

  • A deeper understanding of your personal relationship with the holidays

  • Tools to remain centered and present during family gatherings and social events

  • Strategies for setting healthy boundaries and honoring your needs

  • Space to get in touch with your own sovereign vision of celebration

  • Insights into creating meaningful rituals that nourish your soul

  • Approaches for minimizing stress and overwhelm during this busy time

Through gentle guidance, profound teachings, and practical exercises, you'll learn to:

  • Recognize and release holiday-related expectations and pressures

  • Stay connected to your authentic self amidst family dynamics

  • Create space for reflection and renewal during the busy season

  • Find moments of stillness and peace in the midst of holiday activities

  • Embrace imperfection and find fulfillment in the present moment

The program includes a blend of teachings, guided meditations, suggested exercises, and exchanges with Jeannie, creating a supportive environment for exploration and insight. You'll gain not just knowledge, but an experiential understanding of how to approach the holidays with mindfulness and soul-nourishing practices.

Rather than perfecting your holiday experience or denying the complexities that arise, you’re invited to fully embrace the season with compassion, intentionality and authenticity.
