Wild Haven Sanctuary

Release. Renew. Begin Again - Better

Year in Review → Creating New Beginnings

A Reflective Workshop for Clarity, Growth, and Intentional Living

February 4, 2026: 11am-12:30pm **Registration Required

Suggested Donation: $45+; Minimum Donation $25

This workshop is inspired by John Maxwell’s Year in Review practice and thoughtfully adapted through Wild Haven Sanctuary’s holistic, trauma-informed lens.

Rather than rushing into a new year on autopilot, this experience invites you to pause, reflect, and discern—so you can move forward with greater clarity, wisdom, and intention.

Together, we’ll gently look back on the past year to notice what shaped you, what strengthened you, what drained you, what you’re ready to release, and what you're ready to grow! From there, we’ll intentionally turn toward the year ahead—rooted not in pressure or "New Year's Resolution" culture, but in alignment with who you are, what you are purposed for, and can sustainably grow.

What You’ll Learn

During this workshop, you’ll learn how to effectively and efficiently practice a Year in Review in a way that can be repeated year after year. Using guided instruction and reflection, you’ll discover how to:

Review the past year without judgment or overwhelm
Identify meaningful lessons, patterns, and growth
Acknowledge challenges while honoring resilience
Clarify what to carry forward—and what to let go
Create space for new beginnings rooted in purpose and values

This is not about perfection or productivity.
It’s about wisdom, awareness, and intentional living.

Guided Journaling with WHS Worksheets

Participants will be guided through custom-designed Wild Haven Sanctuary journaling, created to make the Year in Review process:

Simple and structured (no blank-page paralysis)
Effective and time-conscious
Supportive of nervous-system safety and reflection
Practical for day-to-day use beyond this workshop

You’ll leave with tools you can return to—not only at the start of each year, but anytime you sense a need to pause, realign, and begin again.

What This Workshop Includes

Gentle teaching on the Year in Review framework
Guided journaling, honoring what was, and shaping the next steps, using WHS worksheets
Space for quiet reflection and optional group sharing
Practices that support whole-self integration
A rhythm that honors both insight and rest

All participation is invitational. Sharing is optional. Silence is respected.

Who This Workshop Is For

This workshop is for anyone who:

Wants to enter the new year with clarity instead of urgency
Feels ready to release what no longer fits
Desires a meaningful, repeatable reflection practice
Is seeking alignment across body, mind, heart, and spirit
Wants tools that support real life—not rigid goals

No prior journaling experience is needed.

An Invitation

Reflection creates wisdom.
Wisdom creates direction.
Direction creates new beginnings.

This workshop offers a grounded, compassionate way to honor where you’ve been—and intentionally step into what’s next.

Come as you are.
Leave clearer, lighter, and more rooted in the path ahead.

Are you, or someone you know, Seeking Rest & Renewal so that they can ROAR back to LIFE!?

BeLoved Soul —
Are you ready to trade the burdens of the world - with its chaos and hurts - for freedom and healing? Or do you know someone who is?

Every day, more people find themselves silently suffering under the weight of trauma, chronic stress, anxiety, and grief. At Wild Haven Sanctuary, we believe no one should have to navigate that pain alone.

As of May 2025, we closed the doors to Wild Haven & Co. to found Wild Haven Sanctuary and filed to become a 501(c)(3) nonprofit committed to creating safe, restorative spaces—indoors and outdoors—for people to disconnect to reconnect with their bodies, emotions, and find true HOPE through trauma-informed nature, nourishment, mindful movement experiences within a safe, brave community to co-create a sustainable LIFEstyle of Hope and Healing.

Most of those who come to Wild Haven are:

Survivors of complex trauma and abuse

Living with chronic pain or invisible illnesses

Caregivers, frontline workers, or individuals in burnout

Grieving a loss, navigating transition, or feeling overwhelmed by the chaos and hurts of life.

We offer them something often missing from clinical healthcare systems: gentle, holistic care that honors the whole person in nature and in community.

But we can’t do this without the help of people like you.
