Building on the first gathering, this session centers on letting go of what no longer serves — whether fears, regrets, or unspoken burdens. Through ritual, guided meditation, and symbolic practices of release, participants create space for freedom, healing, and presence.

The final session weaves the journey together. Participants engage in a closing meditation and intentional writing practice that affirms how they want to live more fully. The group honors both endings and beginnings, integrating lessons of impermanence into a renewed commitment to life.

Our final circle of the year is a time to pause, breathe, and celebrate joy together. As the year closes, we gather to honor belonging in its many forms — family, friendship, culture, and the communities we create. Joy may show up in song, memory, ritual, or laughter; belonging may live in the people who hold us, or in the deep roots within ourselves.

Through guided writing prompts, participants will be invited to reflect on the moments of joy and belonging that sustained them this year. Together, we will also look ahead — setting intentions for what we want to carry into the new year. After quiet writing time, those who wish may share their words, weaving a collective vision of renewal, hope, and celebration.

Why It Matters
Ending the year in joy and community reminds us that our stories are not only about survival, but also about love, connection, and possibility. By naming what gives us belonging and setting intentions for the future, we step into the new year grounded, clear, and hopeful.

✨ Goal: To experience joy in community, honor belonging, and set intentions together for the year to come.
