I have learned to listen deeply to the wisdom that rests in this quiet window between what has been and what has not yet arrived. For it is in these days that sit outside of time and space that we are able to communicate with the unseen realm and receive guidance on how to move through the liminal. 

So this morning I pulled from my favorite oracle deck, BETWEEN WORLDS (designed and channeled by my dear friend Ryan Lemere) and received the following map for how to navigate this sacred in-between: 

VALLEY OF THE QUEST: This marks the beginning of the heroine's journey (one that is cyclical not linear). It is invoked by the call of deep purpose that compels us to go where we have not gone before, to embrace the unfamiliar, to risk everything for the possibility of freedom. This is the beginning of everything and should be met with curiosity and compassion. 

SURRENDER (UPSIDE DOWN): I realized this year that I've been navigating a series of near-death experiences - never all the way giving in to surrender like I'm hanging by a ledge terrified to let go. This card is a reminder that only through death can we be reborn. It asks "what are you afraid of?" and "what happens if you just let go?"

TRIUMPH: The triumph card isn't about winning, it's about rising from the ashes. It is who we are after the final layer of skin has been shed and we are emerging into new, unknown worlds. This is a foreshadowing of what is possible when we choose a new way (Valley of the Quest) and let our selves go completely (Surrender) to the great mystery of what is already unfolding. May it be so :) 

We begin our journey of emergence TOMORROW and will be working with the medicine of magic and mystery as we walk between the known and not yet and call forth the more beautiful world we are all waiting for. Join us👇 👇 👇 👇 👇 

EMERGE is designed as a threshold space—part sanctuary, part chrysalis—where you get to slow down, listen deeply and prepare for the year ahead with power and precision.

Over the five days that lead us into 2026, you will be supported with daily movement practices, provocative journaling prompts, visioning tools and resources and live community calls with Kerri to support and workshop whatever is in the way living into the future that we all deserve. 

It's not too late to save your spot for our annual NEW YEAR'S HOME RETREAT and make the time for a powerful and purposeful transition! 

Here are some frequently asked questions about the EMERGE Home Retreat: 

Q. How is this different from an "away" retreat?

A. This "home retreat" is designed to be affordable, accessible and transformative for anyone wishing to integrate self-care into their lives. Programming is designed to meet you where you are and adjust to YOUR lifestyle. The purpose for this is so that we can cultivate for ourselves a practice that can become integrated into our everyday throughout the year.

Q. What will I leave with?

A. This retreat is designed to guide you through detox of the body, mind and soul. To do that, we will journey through a chakra cleanse that tends to the parts of us that are out of balance and unreconciled. Through movement, meditation, self-inquiry, community collaboration and self care rituals, we will let go of whatever is in the way of our growth and design a routine that is open to possibility. You will leave clear, refreshed, and ready for what's next. 

Q. What will the practice be like?

A. Practice is like preparation and priming for how we show up in our lives. It builds a capacity to play big and be courageous in the face of whatever life has to throw at us. All practices are customized to support the theme of that day so that your body and mind are getting the preparation for it needs for you to show up creative and confident in your everyday life. Daily practice will be taught by Kerri and will be a combination of movement and meditation (duration 30-45 minutes).

Q. What can I expect from the coaching and catalyst tools?

A. The "tools" we compliment our daily practice and theme. They are intended to guide you through a journey from presence to reconciliation to purpose to creation. Throughout the retreat, you will develop a clear assessment of where you are, a distilled and focus purpose to guide you towards where you are going, the creativity and capacity to dream big and get creative with your life, and the commitment/accountability to bring that vision to life.
