Would you like a broad perspective on the last year?

Will consciously closing the year help you to move into the new year with a clean slate?

Do you understand things better when you can see them?

Mapping Life: Looking Back on 2025 offers a Compassionate Communication framework for examining the past year with intention. The workshop will include a guided meditation, short teaching of the framing, and guidelines to create your map. Then you’ll have ample time to work on your map, looking back over the year and seeing where you want to consciously close the year and where you want to practice openness in 2026.

Through this visual mapping you will:

• see more clearly the places you experienced abundance and scarcity in 2025

• understand the needs and values that have motivated you to action or depleted you of energy

• begin to explore ways you can address needs that are not currently being met

This workshop will be recorded. The recording will be available for 4 weeks after the workshop.

The suggested contribution is $44. This workshop is offered in the spirit of the gift. All are welcome to attend at any contribution level, including attending for free. If you choose, make a contribution through Venmo (@hartcommunication) or Zelle (cory@corylockhart.com)

This workshop has an in-person partner workshop, Mapping Life: Moving Forward in 2026, on January 2, 2026 at 2:00pm ET. You may choose to attend one or both workshops.

Are you ready for a fresh start in 2026?

Would you like an opportunity to see where you are- what your personal starting line is as you begin the year?

Do you understand things better when you can see them?

Mapping Life: Moving Forward in 2026 offers a Compassionate Communication framework to clearly see your starting point as you begin the year and consider how you want to move through the year. The workshop will include a guided meditation, short teaching of the framing, and guidelines to create your map. Then you’ll have ample time to work, looking at where you are and beginning to make plans for steps you want to take in the coming year so that you thrive!

Through this visual mapping you will:

• see more clearly where you are now

• understand the needs and values that you want to tend to in 2026

• make plans for action steps to meet those needs, noting steps you can take on your own and where/how you can get support

Toward the end of the second hour, you will have a chance to hear and share insights discovered during the process. You’ll also receive guiding questions for further reflection.

This in-person workshop includes all supplies and light refreshements and will be hosted at The St. Catherine, 729 E. St. Catherine, 40203.

The suggested standard contribution is $55. This workshop is offered on a sliding scale from $22 to $77, with a lower contribution suggested for those with fewer means and a higher contribution suggested for those who can pay it forward.

Join us with the resonance of Tibetan singing bowls, gongs, and voice.

Robin Aleksevitch, Elizabeth Elliott, and Cory Lockhart will guide your body and mind into a state of deep relaxation, manifestation and renewal, while incorporating fascia and Tibetan rights movements to awaken your body’s innate flow.

This fusion of sound vibration, voice, and mindful movement helps release tension, balance the nervous system, and create space for THE NEW YEAR Energy to emerge.

Many of us feel the divisiveness of our time. We long to talk about issues and topics that are important to us with people- especially family members and friends- who may see things differently, but we’re afraid that doing so will break connection and create irreparable discord.

This 2-hour online workshop introduces a framework for finding connection in challenging conversations, tailored for difficult conversations in the workplace, at home, and in daily life. Learn to identify, honor, and express yourself with clarity, honesty, and integrity. Using these strategies opens possibilities for win-win outcomes.

- Learn to honor your experience and express yourself with clarity, honesty, and integrity.
- Learn to listen for the deeper meaning beneath others’ experiences.
