💫 A Moment of Reflection - The Collective Ritual & "The Space Between Us" Exhibit.

Whether you had the opportunity to participate in the 21 Day Collective Ritual or not, we pause to honor what this container held for each of us. For 21 days, 89 people chose consistency, presence, and care by returning to them selves and to one another through daily practice, reflection, and shared intention.

💫We marked the closing with an evening of reflection and celebration at "The Space Between Us" exhibit, honoring the artists, facilitators, and the shared journey of these 21 days. This gathering offered space to acknowledge what has been cultivated together and to close the ritual in a physical space cultivated by many.

The closing coincided with the Winter Solstice, a powerful reminder that rest and stillness are generative. As the longest night gives way to returning light, we are invited to release what no longer serves and to trust what has been cultivated beneath the surface.

💫This work is justice work. The practice of holistic well-being--economically, socially, intellectually, mentally, emotionally, and physically--requires participation, relationship, and connection.

We are deeply grateful to our volunteer hosts, facilitators and each individual that showed up whether live or in their own time to make this ritual what it has been.

💫Together, we raised $6,750 during this period simply by believing in the practice of showing up individually and collectively in the daily virtual space, the purchase of art and the participation in the programming. We are holding a shared intention of reaching $10,000 before the close of the year.

As 2025 begins to wind down, we are filled with gratitude for all who continue to show up with presence and purpose. We invite you to explore what’s ahead in 2026 and wish you a restful, regenerative and supportive season forward.

Today marks the Winter Solstice, the longest night of the year and a turning point toward returning light. Across cultures and generations, this moment has been honored as a time to slow down, reflect, and gather wisdom from what has passed.

The solstice is an invitation to pause with intention. To acknowledge the quiet work happening beneath the surface. To recognize that rest, reflection, and stillness are not endings, they are foundations.

As daylight begins its gradual return, we hold space for clarity about what we are ready to carry forward and what we are ready to release. This season reminds us that growth often begins in the dark, shaped by patience, care, and trust in what is emerging.

Here is an invitation to mark this day in your own way. Light a candle. Step outside and notice the cold air and changing sky. Write down one insight from this season and one intention for the months ahead.

May this solstice offer grounding, perspective, and renewed energy as we move toward longer days together.

🔅 Collective Ritual | Day 21

As we arrive at the final day of this shared practice, we pause with intention and clarity, honoring the learning, grounding, and connection cultivated over the past 3 weeks.

Today’s mindful practice is guided by Dr. Angel Acosta, a global thought leader, educator, and founder of the Acosta Institute. Dr. Acosta’s work lives at the intersection of healing-centered education, contemplative leadership, ethical technology, and cultural transformation. Rooted in his doctoral research, his approach supports individuals and institutions in strengthening capacity, imagination, and responsibility in complex times.

Through his leadership, the Acosta Institute has become an international hub for learning and leadership development, partnering with educators, businesses, foundations, and civic organizations across the globe. His work invites reflection on how mindfulness, equity, and restoration can shape how we lead, learn, and design the systems that influence our lives.

🔅As we close this ritual together, this is an invitation to carry forward what has been strengthened here. Let the practices remain approachable. Let reflection inform action. Let connection guide how you show up in your work, relationships, and shared spaces.

🔅Thank you for being part of this 21-day ritual of presence, growth, and collective intention.

🔅 Collective Ritual Day 18: As we near the solstice and the closure of the Collective Ritual, what better time to explore the themes of darkness, introspection, grounding and renewal with Reggie Hubbard. In a world where chaos and sensory overload are the norm, we will root in the peace of deep practice, community and the energy of Winter.

Reggie Hubbard is the founder/Chief Serving Officer of Active Peace LLC. He has done many things, but is most proud of being a caring human, a stroke survivor, teacher/wisdom steward, strategist, organizer, spiritual advisor, minister of sound and devoted seeker of truth, compassion, health, well-being and justice for all.

Through Active Peace, he teaches all walks of life through wisdom, movement, meditation and sound, ways to cultivate well-being as a foundation rather than an afterthought.
