Reflections in the Darkness – A Quiet Night Beyond Resolutions

(Self-guided. Any night during the long nights of December is right.)

***

### Description

This is not a New Year’s resolution.
There’s nothing to optimize, fix, track, or become.
While the world rushes toward goals, plans, and “next versions,” this night does the opposite.

It pauses.

Reflections in the Darkness is a single, standalone night of quiet reflection offered by the EcoSpirit Adventure Club. We call it Night One.

Instead of setting intentions or pushing forward, this night focuses on:

• acknowledging what has already been carried
• allowing things to complete
• releasing what doesn’t need to come along
• making space before movement begins again

No productivity.
No self-improvement.
No pressure to feel anything in particular.
You can do this alone, at home, with a cup of tea, a candle, or simply the dark.

There’s no schedule and no “right” way to do it. Any evening between December 26 and January 1 works.

If you’re curious, the reflection and a little context live on the EcoSpirit website. We call this a single night because it stands on its own.
It also happens to be the first night of a longer, seasonal practice we return to each year. There are twelve nights in total, each with a different quality of attention.

You don’t need to know the rest. Night One is complete by itself.

(No signup required. Take what’s useful. Leave the rest.)
If this isn’t your moment, that’s completely okay too.

This is simply a quiet counterpoint to the noise of the season.
A chance to stop before starting again.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
