2025 Calendar
We’re happy to offer you this Calendar, inspired on Ingrid Fetell Lee’s book “Joyful”, with the additions of two virtues -Hope and Gratitude- for added reflection.
You can use it on your phone or computer, without printing it.
If you decide to print it, you can do so front and back, and it doesn’t need to be in color. If you choose to fasten it, we suggest you do so from the top edge. It’s designed for A4 paper size, but it looks great in A5 as well.
Carry it with you, take notes, and let inspiration fill your days!
May it be a faithful companion!

Being Lovers. Living with an Open Heart
Is
“Where there is great love, there are always miracles.”
Willa Cather
What is a great love?
Is it a bond that grows and deepens over time? Is it the affection spurred by a beloved place, cause, person? Or perhaps the tenderness that wells up in our chest when we see a stranger perform an act of altruism? The softening of our eyes and hearts when we enter an old growth forest?
All of the above!
How can one word encompass so many meanings? This is what we’ll explore in this Saturday’s session: how to deepen in this “orientation of the heart” that helps us transcend our small self and fills us with vitality and meaning.
Love is a dynamic mystery: more verb than noun; more between than within; more present than past and future, and as much starting point as destination.
We’ll dive into this fertile territory with carefully selected ancient and brand new practices and invitations.
Will you come along?

Being Dancers! Living with Sensuality
Do you ever ask your body how it feels about a person, a place, an activity, a decision? Do you ask it if it’s got enough energy to go to that party, if it needs to move, or go out for a walk, after so many hours of screen time? Do you invite it to dance to your favorite music? Do you listen to what it whispers to you at night, when everyone is asleep?
Our body is a reservoir of truths, intuitions, knowledge and unique and exquisite sensations. But like any good friend, if we ignore it for too long, it will be become frustrated, angry, and eventually, recoil from us (expressing its discontent in pain or other symptoms). At the very least, it will resist cooperating with our demands, no matter how reasonable we may find them.
The journey from the mind to the body can be the most fruitful you ever undertake. Unsuspected reserves of beauty, meaning and vitality await you, if you venture out to meet it with an open heart.
Shall we taket this journey together?
Looking forward to seeing you!

Being Creators! Living with Imagination
If the universe is exuberantly creative and innovative in all of its forms, shapes and creatures, how could we possibly be otherwise?
Quantum physics, and cutting-edge findings from biology and other sciences reveal a universe that is alive, complex, mysterious, and connected in all its parts. And are we not, in fact, the universe in miniature? What levels of understanding, wisdom, power and beauty can we achieve, if we can let go of limiting ideas and preconceptions about who we are, and what we are capable of creating or becoming?
We invite you to take part in a deep exploration of one of this most vitalising of archetypes; the very force that gave birth to our bodies, feeds our imaginations, and invites us to fly high and reinvent the world day after day, for the sheer joy of doing so!
Hope to you on Saturday, with a heart full of curiosity and delight 💫✨⚡

Being Children
What does it say about a society that calling someone ‘childish’ is an insult?
We might conclude that our culture demands that adults be serious, productive, responsible and, let’s say it, conform to the norm. As children, we were unique, one-of-a-kind beings. But as we grew up, some of that shine and authenticity went underground, in order to accepted and fit in.
Many of us must go back to our earliest years to find our full, undiluted essence. Not because childhood was a pristine and perfect time, but because it is, perhaps, the last time we allowed ourselves to be so fully ourselves.
Fortunately, the children we were are alive and kicking, anxiously waiting for us to call them out to express themselves, feel fully, and play to their hearts’ content!
In this Saturday’s session, we’ll explore the qualities of this vital archetype. Among them, the capacity for enjoyment, simplicity, spontaneity, authenticity, creativity, vulnerability, awe, and also, of course, magic!
Roald Dahl writes: ‘”And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don’t believe in magic will never find it.”
Here’s find that magic together!

Being heroes
Do you feel that the word ‘hero’ or ‘heroine’ is far removed from you and your life? This is only natural, as it’s traditionally been used to describe people who acted alone, risked life and limb for strangers, and acted with reckless self-abandon.
This definition doesn’t reflect a rich range of actions that people take, quietly and far from any fanfare, in pursuit of something they hold sacred.
Today’s world urgently needs us to activate our courage, practice discernment, and act in defense of what’s most dear to us.
Can this kind of courage be cultivated? Definitely! And it results in a rich, full life, inspired by the beacon of purpose.
Courage also has concrete effects on our personal lives: it allows us to act on behalf of our own neglected goals, and to create a life that we’ve only dreamed of.
Acting with boldness is not exclusive to superheroes; it’s a prerogative of our essential nature. And it can be a more humble and everyday choice than we imagine.
In this Saturday’s workshop, we’ll explore the hero archetype, and invite its gifts into our lives.
Looking forward to seeing you there!

The Adventurer
Do you love to travel more than anything else? Do you dream of climbing mountains, crossing deserts, visiting the world’s most impressive museums? Do you dream of exploring uncharted lands and learning the language of the locals? Would you love to have a time machine and travel back to 1800, or 2080?
If any of these scenarios light up your soul, chances are the Adventurer archetype describes you, and you live for the opportunity to embark on a new exploration of body or soul.
The question is: Is there only adventure when we go far from home?
The answer is: no!
To be adventurous we don’t need to use a compass, we need to change the way we think, look and live. Says author and entrepreneur Eliot Peper: “Everything important is uncertain. Sitting with the discomfort of that uncertainty is the hard part, the wedge that can move the world.”
We look forward to “travelling with you” into wild new, undiscovered terrain!
