Year Compass

Replay. Free to all subscribers.

Do you ever feel like you slip from one year into the next without ever really pausing to take stock and celebrate? Resolutions are all well and good but they have a propensity to turn punitive. Instagram round ups tend to show only the prettiest parts.

About a decade ago, a friend introduced me to the Year Compass, and I’ve found myself returning to its gentle annual reflection process again and again.

Year Compass is a free, short workbook released annually to help you reflect on the year gone by and plan out the one just about to begin. It contains a series of questions with space to record your answers, and encourages you, to quote from the team, to “learn from your mistakes, celebrate your victories, and set out a path you want to walk on”.

At the beginning of 2024 we went through this together as a group. We enjoyed a mixture of contemplative silences and time spent discussing our thoughts. You can catch the replay below. (Free to all subscribers.)
