🌿 What This Year Has Been About
A reflection from the first year of EMBody Wisdom
As I reflect on the first year of EMBody Wisdom, I find myself returning to this question:
What has this year truly been about—and how is it growing me into something more?
It’s easy to measure time by external markers: clients served, programs launched, milestones reached.
But this year has been about something deeper. Quieter. More formative.
This has been a year of rooting.
Not just launching a practice—but building a foundation.
Not just speaking truths—but learning to hold space for them, in my body and in community.
Not just offering healing—but living it.
Becoming a Steady Presence
In the midst of a world that feels increasingly unstable, I’ve found myself drawn into conversations—especially within the church—about what it means to be a stable presence.
This year has been an invitation to become that presence.
To stay grounded when others feel uprooted.
To hold space for grief, for doubt, for spiritual longing.
To trust the slow, body-led wisdom that says:
You don’t have to move fast to be moving forward.
Choosing to Stay
This year also brought clarity about timing and place.
Even as I imagine what might come next, I’ve made the intentional decision to remain rooted where I am for a while longer. (God willing)
Not because I’m stuck.
But because I’m choosing to go deeper before I go wider.
There’s something powerful about choosing to stay to resist the pull of urgency or expansion, and instead tend to the soil beneath your feet.
Growing Into More
This year has reminded me that becoming more doesn’t always look like doing more.
Sometimes growth looks like:
Becoming more present
Becoming more visible in your truth
Becoming more rooted in your body and Spirit
Becoming more willing to trust the unfolding
An Invitation to You
As I reflect on what this year has been about for me, I wonder…
What has this year been about for you?
What are you learning to hold?
What’s quietly growing within you, even if no one else can see it yet?
May we all have the courage to root deeply,
To trust the wisdom rising from within,
And to let the becoming unfold in its own sacred time.
