True North
A Spring Reorientation for the Year Ahead
You are not meant to choose direction when your body is still in winter.
Clarity does not come from pressure.
It comes from readiness.
True North is a body-led, seasonal workshop held at the threshold of spring.
A moment in the year when light begins to return, the ground softens, and your inner orientation becomes audible again.
This is not about setting goals.
It is about choosing the direction you are willing to stay with.
A Word You Can Live Inside
Here, you choose a word that becomes your guiding light for the year ahead.
Not as a concept.
As a lived reference point.
A word you can return to when life gets busy, messy, or demanding.
A word that shapes how you want to feel as you move through the year.
This is how a word becomes lived, not abandoned.
Why Spring Is the Time to Reorient
True North works with the Wheel of the Year, not the calendar.
Held close to Ostara, when light and dark return to balance, this workshop invites you to choose your direction when both the earth and your nervous system are capable of saying yes.
Spring is not about pushing forward.
It is about choosing from truth.
Your True North Is a Reference Point
Your word becomes something you can return to when you feel pulled off centre.
When old patterns resurface.
When external noise gets loud.
In this workshop, your word does not come from your head.
It emerges from your body.
From what is sustainable, not aspirational.
From how you want to feel as you move through the year.
From what you are genuinely willing to live with through real life.
What You Are Inviting In & Letting Go Of
You will explore:
What you are ready to invite into your life and body this year
What you are complete with carrying forward
What you are no longer willing to abandon within yourself
This is conscious orientation, not self-improvement.
What Happens Inside
the Workshop
Opening the Circle
Grounded arrival. Nothing to prove.
Somatic Journey & Visualisation
Nervous-system-settling, body-led clarity
Oracle Reflection
One card for orientation, not prediction.
The Sacred Pathway Map
A four-directional framework to help your word root deeply:
True North – the truth you are no longer willing to abandon
South – what grounds and steadies you
East – what is beginning to move
West – the wisdom you carry from what has been lived
Claiming Your Word
Simple ritual. Truth over pressure.
Soul-Centred Vision Board
Create a vision board using a Colette Baron-Reid–inspired practice:
Place your word at the centre, as your energetic compass
Surround it with images that reflect how you want to feel
Leave space at the edges for the Universe to meet you halfway
This isn’t about manifesting a checklist.
It’s about co-creating a life that feels like home in your body.
This workshop is a beautiful gift to yourself!
“This workshop transformed how I approached the year. I still return to my word.”
“A safe, nurturing space that didn’t rush or push.”
“My True North word continues to guide me.”
Support Beyond the Evening
You’ll receive a Seasonal Realignment Guide to help you stay in relationship with your word as the year unfolds.
Includes:
Seasonal reflection prompts
Quarterly rituals
Embodiment practices
Gentle journaling invitations
Transformation happens in seasons, not checklists.
Is This For You?
This workshop is for you if something in you is quietly tired.
If you are tired of over-giving and under-receiving, even when you care deeply.
If you lose connection with yourself once life speeds up.
If you crave ritual and structure that support you, without pressure or performance.
If you want a word for the year that actually strengthens your boundaries, rather than becoming another thing to live up to.
If you are done with surface-level workshops that promise motivation but don’t change how you feel in your body.
This is not about fixing yourself.
It is about staying with yourself.
You are allowed to move slower.
To choose differently.
To orient your year from inner truth, not external expectation.
True North is not just a workshop.
It is a return to yourself.
