Dear John, It seems insensitive to say Happy New Year in light of all that’s going on in the world, but I do hope that you are safe and well and that 2021 proves to be your best year yet. I wanted to give you an update on events that will be happening (and not happening) this year. First, unfortunately I’ve decided to cancel our April “Self Care by the Sea” retreat. It’s still too soon for me to feel comfortable asking people to register and book flights. So, while I’ll miss being with you in person (and I really do miss our in-person events!), I’ve booked our next retreat for October 22nd - 24th. Fingers crossed that we can be together again during the beautiful New England autumn. Next, I’m teaching a yearlong program called “Learning to Trust Your Instincts” with Russ Hudson, author of The Wisdom of the Enneagram. Russ is the world’s leading scholar on the Enneagram - a psychological and spiritual typing system that has had a profound impact on my life and work, and I’m excited to share his unique wisdom and experience with you. The program starts on February 25th and you can learn more about it, here: https://cherylrichardson.com/learning-to-trust-your-instincts/ On February 21st, I’m joining my friend, John Holland, for an afternoon called: Self Care/Soul Care. I'll be talking about ways to take good care of yourself during these challenging times, and John will be talking about the gifts of the soul as well as offering readings to guests. You can learn more about this special afternoon event, here: https://cherylrichardson.com/events/ Finally, each month I hold a zoom gathering called “Coach on Call” hosted by Alternatives in London. This organization does great work helping people to invest in their personal development and I donate all proceeds back to them so they can continue to do their good work while live events are on hold. You can join us for the next one (tomorrow, 1/14) by going here: https://www.alternatives.org.uk/event/coach-call-january Please note that all of my programs and workshops have scholarships available for a limited number of people. See page for details (or contact the organizer). There’s sure to be other events added throughout the year so please be sure to check both the “PS” section of the weekly newsletter as well as the events page at cherylrichardson.com. Hang in there… better days are coming. Thank you for being a member of my online community and I hope to see your smiling face at an event sometime this year! Love, Cheryl |
