In this first preparatory practice, you will anchor your intention into this 9 month journey, creating a foundation from which to move forward, and a compass with which to point your ship.  You will want to find a quiet, safe space where you can close your eyes and have about 20 minutes of undistracted presence.  I would also recommend that you bring a journal or writing supplies of some kind so that you can capture some words or images that will remind you of your intention in the days to come.

​

You may feel inspired to prepare for the start of the school in other ways - creating an altar, cleansing body or home, making art, etc.  Or you may just launch right in and trust the flow of it all to unfold.  I encourage you to follow whatever is inspiring, easeful, and natural.  

​

Enjoy!
