How This Course Works

 

This is a six-day online journey to help you make a purposeful transition into a new year. If you want to take a moment of quality time with yourself and have meaningful conversations with your loved ones over the holidays, this course is for you.

How Long Will It Take?

If you do it the way I designed it, you’ll take 6 days to complete the course. You will need 30 minutes of focused attention every day. You can work whenever and from wherever you choose. Personally, I like to take the time to reflect from a more quiet and deep place between Christmas and the New Year.

Workbook

A simple workbook is available for download to take personal notes. 

The Beauty Of A Yearly Routine

This course works best if you develop the routine to do it every year. The idea is that you establish the regular practice of reflecting on your own path and share your findings with those you care about. Over time, you will be able to connect the dots, and your path will naturally emerge more clearly to you.

What Topics Are Covered?

PATH: SEEING WHERE YOU ARE NOW: The first two days of the course will help you reflect on the key events of the past year and their importance within the bigger picture of your life.

INTENTION: SENSING WHERE YOU WANT TO BE. On the third and fourth day of the course, you will sense where you are going and what really matters to you in the coming year(s).

ALIGNMENT: KNOWING HOW TO GET THERE. The last two days of the course help you make preparations for concrete action that is aligned with where you are going in the coming year.

How This Course Was Created

It was right after Christmas in 2012. I had just returned home to Switzerland after nearly 10 years in the Middle East. I felt lost, uprooted and a stranger in my own country. I longed for clarity and direction - or simply one clear next step. One Sunday morning, I climbed a mountain, sat in stillness and asked for direction from somewhere. The six questions of this course came to me then and there, almost fully formed. I merely took notes. As I shared my findings with my friends and family, they started to ask for the questions. And so for years I have sent this course out as a simple email campaign to what grew to be a community of hundreds of people. In 2023, I decided to make the course available online for everyone who is looking for direction as a new year approaches.
