Happy New Year everyone!
We’re kicking off the Self Care Explorers Club with our first theme, video, and call. I’m really excited to dig into everything with y’all, so let’s get to it!
Our theme this month is the new year and thinking about how we want it to be. Have you chosen an intention, word of the year, or set any goals? It’s ok if you haven’t done that yet- we’ll be talking all about it at our call on the 23rd.
If you haven’t thought about any of that yet, now is a great time to start. It doesn’t have to be anything huge or set in stone. Just be thinking about what you want and need out of this next year. How do you want to feel? What’s been working for you? What might need to be released so you can move forward feeling your best and living the life you want?
Check out this month’s video for more on this topic, plus some breathwork and affirmations that might be helpful or feel good for you. Everything’s optional though, so don’t feel like you have to do everything!
Our meeting is on January 23rd from 12-2pm CT. Zoom will be open from 11:45am CT so you can come early to get set up, chat, and hang out so we can start right on time.
For this first meeting, please bring something to add to our virtual group altar space. This can be literally anything! Think about something that represents you, your intention or word of the year if you have one, or that feels important and you’d like to share. This could be a photo, figurine, book, note, plant, or anything else you think of. No limits! We’ll each take a moment to show the group and “place it on the altar”, at least virtually. This shared altar space is a nice way to start our year together off with intention and will help us to get to know each other.
Other than that, just bring a comforting drink and/or snack, some cozy clothes, and yourself! This first call will largely be about meeting each other, setting the group’s shared guidelines, and launching into the discussion about intentions, self care needs, and how we’re doing…really.

We’ll be using when2meet.com to schedule our meeting dates and times. This is a free service, but there are sometimes ads on the page. You do not need to pay for anything when you access the link above. Here are basic instructions to fill out the scheduler.
Click the link to go to the When2Meet page with our calendar options for next month.
Enter your name and an optional password if you want to be able to come back and edit your availability. I recommend this. The password is temporary and only for this particular month’s scheduler. Each month you’ll start with a blank slate and can choose the same, or a different, password.
Click ‘sign in’ and it will show you the scheduler. Be sure to check your time zone and make sure it’s correct for you. It will show you a selection of dates, divided by the hour, where you can fill in your availability.
To fill in your available times for our meeting, simply click on the little rectangles that divide up the hours. You can fine tune your available times by 15 minute increments. Select all the times that you would be available for our call. Do not select any times where you would not be available.
You will see the group’s availability on the right side of the screen, and can take a look at when the most overlap is. We will select our meeting time based on when the majority of people are available at the same time. Please fill the scheduler out asap so we can confirm the next meeting time and people can block their calendars.
