I was planning an in-person Vision Workshop in Malibu for January 10th and 11th. The venue was perfect, and I had plenty of support. Everything seemed aligned—until it wasn’t.
As the date approached, I began to sense that something wasn’t flowing. A quiet but persistent voice in my mind kept urging me to postpone the workshop. At first, I resisted. How could I cancel something I had put so much effort into? But after a heartfelt conversation with my close friend Heide, I realized that this wasn’t the right time.
I trusted my intuition and canceled the event. It turned out to be one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Had I gone ahead with my plans, I would have been in Pacific Palisades during one of the most devastating wildfires California has ever seen. The workshop in Malibu would have been canceled anyway, and I could have been in real danger.
This experience reinforced a powerful lesson: learning to trust and develop our intuition isn’t just a personal practice—it’s a vital skill.
Right now, we’re all facing so much uncertainty—mentally, emotionally, physically, and financially. It’s easy to feel unsafe or overwhelmed by the unknown. That’s why I believe it’s more important than ever to come together in community, to hold space for one another with compassion and care.
When we gather in spiritual community, we create a strong container for healing, support, and re-visioning our lives. By tending to the parts of ourselves that feel fragile and finding strength in connection, we can begin the process of moving forward. Life is precious, and we need each other now more than ever.
If your heart is calling you to reflect, heal, and reimagine your future, I invite you to join me for VISION 2025 on January 24th and 25th. You can attend in person in New York City or online via Zoom. Together, let’s create a powerful space to access the spiritual support we need to navigate these times and re-vision our lives with purpose and clarity. Visit the Events page for more information.
Until next time,
Barbara
