Every cycle that presents us with an ending also ushers in a beginning, even if we do not realize it at the time.

This year has been marked by disruption, reflection, deep solitude, awakening, and change.

With ample time to sit quietly with ourselves, people are making moves in ways they never have before — more people are changing jobs, relationships, cities, homes than ever before.

This is not a coincidence.

It is all interconnected.

The truth is that humanity is going through a collective awakening. This shift in consciousness is first marked by realization. This is the part when we are forced to come to terms with the fact that the systems, routines, structures, and traditions that we have been controlled by in the past weren’t constructed for our benefit. They do not serve us in the ways that we need.

On a more personal level, almost everyone has gone through an intense cycle of death and rebirth, a period of positive disintegration of their personalities, beliefs, and ideas.
