Attitude
Entering the new can be both inspirational and liberating, daunting and bewildering at the same time. Let your own nurturance be the ground beneath the groundlessness. Let the sacred container of your own spacious presence hold you and your vision, as you explore that which lies ahead.
Ultimately, we have to befriend the unknown – the groundlessness of being.
On the relative plane, we want to feel supported, held, and be able to stay trusting; especially in the midst of uncertainty. The only thing we can count on is how we show up for ourself. And remember, this is our job. Not anyone else’s.
Now we have the prime opportunity to practice what attitude we chose to hold in the moment, as emotions arise, as we explore our intentions, dreams and wishes for 2026.
The continuous job is to hold the north star of our ambitions, while at the same time continue to come back to the moment of now. Let this be the practice.

Ways to Practice Together in 2026
I find myself ignited with so much inspiration and things to share, this is just the tip of the iceberg of what 2026 will hold in our offerings to you, dear community of inner diggers.
Ashtanga Yoga Workshop
This is a one-day event in Ridgway, CO, where we will go deep into the practice, theory and philosophy around traditional Ashtanga Yoga. We have a lot to cover in only a day, but hopefully this will spark deeper dives within you – both on and off the yoga mat. For those of you who are regulars in the ongoing Ashtanga Yoga classes, the content of the workshop will be something that we build upon throughout the year to come. Registration closes January 5. More info via the link below.
Sangha Sessions
This is something that is both expanding and deepening as we make our way into the second consecutive year of this offering – a sacred container for the collective to gather, explore and support one another.
Free for paid Substack subscribers - hosted via the Substack platform - join live online or enjoy the recordings.
We will continue to release the dates and themes for each quarter as we go. These are also sessions where we have the opportunity to discuss what we are individually processing, if you want support or feedback from me and/or the group. Mark your calendars for the below dates.
January 8 – Discernment – 6-7pm MST (Alignment with core values)
February 12 – Detachment – 6-7pm MST (Being fully involved yet detached)
March 5 – Vulnerability – 6-7pm MST (Vulnerability as a superpower)
You have to upgrade your plan in order to join us. It's only $80 for the full year, or $8 /month. My hope is that you find this a good value-add to your contemplative journey. Treat yourself to this beautiful container of inner exploration.
Give someone you love the access to these sessions by gifting a Substack subscription – you can do so HERE.
Commitment to Practice
The Commitment to Practice course is now open for registration! We start on the New Moon on January 18 and meet weekly online until February 22. You can join us live or watch the recordings.
This is for the ones who want to make a mindset shift, habit or lifestyle changes, fine tune or deepen their practices. It is about taking our agency back and making changes in our thoughts, words and actions – with the necessary commitment, resources and support. During this course we explore what we want more of in our lives – and how to embody that. A perfect way to start the year!
Pssst – paid Substack subscribers + Alumni to previous immersions get a discount.

The Scholarship Fund
We have created a special scholarship fund for those who want to pay it forward for others to join our classes, workshops and mentorship sessions at a discounted price.
This fund allows us to be able to continue our community offerings, donation based yoga classes, and 1:1 counseling – showing up for those who may need it the most.
If you have the means to pay it forward, THANK YOU for having the heart to do so.
If you are someone who could use a stipend from the scholarship fund for any of the above offerings, please email vicharapublications@gmail.com to talk more. Never let finances get in the way of the support you may need. We are in this together!
Beginning Again
May we all begin again. Afresh. Anew. Harnessing the newness of each moment, as we take one step in front of the other. Nothing grandiose. Nothing elaborate. Simply here. Simply now. Befriending the uncertain, one breath at a time.
And thus, the once mysterious and somewhat monstrous uncertain has a chance to become something we gently nudge ourselves into, illuminating it with the help of patience and our willingness to hold it – as it is.
Remember that we are co-creators of our experience, based on how we choose to show up for it. Within our response lies our power. Within our attitude lies our freedom. Choose wisely my friends. Always stay attentive and relaxed, as you explore the next step. Stay open, willing, trusting and curious.
May you revel in the mystery of being.
With love,
Hansa
