Listen to the Wisper of Winter – New Year’s Reset & Intentions
Attributen
Release the pressure of New Year’s Eve and step into the year at a more natural turning point of the seasonal energies: End of January. Make a SoulCard — a mini-collage that brings your intuition to life, transforming the subtle inspirations of winter into a powerful, tangible message for the months ahead.

Pause. Reflect. Create. Receive your soul’s message for the year ahead.
*** The workshop will be taught in English to include non-Dutch participants. However, if expressing yourself in English during inquiry or sharing’s is difficult, you’re welcome to do that in Dutch of course. ***
Why End of January / Beginning of February?
Because, in December, the only thing you really need to do is slow down and be available for inspiration to land.
We rush, we squeeze all the gezelligheid into the few days there are.
Unfinished tasks, lingering thoughts, and the subtle pressure to “prepare” for the new year pull us in every direction.
When your inner world feels like a crowded city street — always moving, nowhere to rest — the whispers of your intuition can’t land.
Drop the idea that you need to be ready by December 31st.
A New Year in Rhythm with Nature
Nature’s new year doesn’t start on December 31st. It begins with the Spring Equinox on March 21st.
There’s no need for a rushed “Manifest Your Best Year” checklist.
Inspiration doesn’t arrive through pressure. It arrives through presence.
So, what do you do in December? Receive!
- Let the darkness of December become your friend.
- Take quiet moments each day.
- Notice recurring thoughts, desires, and ideas.
- Write them down — but don’t act on them yet.
- Trust divine timing.
From Inspiration to Tangible Form in January
By the end of January, the sparks of insight are ready to take shape.
That’s when we meet, in ritual, to let the Whispers of Winter guide us.
During this retreat, you’ll create a SoulCard — a mini-collage that brings your intuition to life and transforms winter’s subtle inspirations into a tangible guide for the months ahead.
This retreat is for those who
- Are tired of cramming everything into December
- Know there’s a gentler, more aligned rhythm to tap into
- Want to connect with their inner guidance and intuition
- Wish to deepen the Chakra Journey — Immersion into Seasonal Lifestyle and Yoga Parctice
- Are looking for a meaningful, nourishing pause to reset and set intentions
Atmosphere of the Day
Intimate, supportive and playful — a space where reflection, creativity, and connection flow naturally
Completing – an important step BEFORE we start creating
Before the workshop, you will receive an assignment by e-mail — your HOMEWORK — to help you consciously complete the past year. Please bring your work to the workshop. Only when something is completed can space open for the new to arise. Holding on to old things or keeping your hands (and heart) closed reduces your ability to fully receive what you long for. As Helen Schuman puts it in A Course in Miracles:
“It’s not your duty to search for love, but to remove all obstacles within yourself, all barriers that keep love from being able to find you.”
Creating with a mini-vision-board
During the workshop, we will first dedicate a ritual to say goodbye to the year behind us and then open the doors to the new one. Through journaling, we invite your subconscious to express itself, guiding us in exploring what you want to manifest in the coming year. Your SoulCard — a mini-vision-board created on the spot — allows your soul to speak and reveal what is ready to emerge.
At the end of the workshop, you will have an inspiring SoulCard for 2026, along with a clear understanding of the message it carries for you. This tangible keepsake becomes a source of guidance to navigate your path in the year ahead.
What is a SoulCard?
A SoulCard is a mini-collage — a tangible reflection of your inner wisdom. Through simple materials, guided reflection, and creativity, you give form to the subtle inspiration that arose during the winter months.
This is not about bucket lists or attracting the “perfect year.” It’s deeper, quieter, and stronger. The voice we are inviting is as close to you as your own breath — yet so often ignored in the busyness of life. It whispers to you what your next step could be, and when we don’t listen, life sends obstacles, challenges, or breakdowns to slow us down, “forcing” us to finally tune in.
Reviews from Past Participants
"The SoulCard helped me make a desire that had been buried in my subconscious more visible and tangible. The follow-up support from Karolien gave me tools to actually bring that energy into my life. Creating the SoulCard was such a beautiful ritual that I’m joining again this year!" – Tessa | "I never expected that I, someone very analytical, could create something like this. The SoulCard really turned out beautifully, and it’s a wonderful reminder of what’s important to me and why." – Anonymous |
