New Moon Goal Setting + Journal Prompts

new moon goal setting

I do New Moon Goal Setting every month.

Of course - you can set any goal you want, any time you want. But the new moon is a great time for this work and having a regular ongoing routine/practice of goal setting gives you the best chance of creating real MOMENTUM for moving towards your dreams.

How are dreams and goals different? Dreams tend to be bigger and more expansive and not always easy to describe in a single sentence. Goals are tangible and measurable. Goals help you move towards dreams.

As I prepare to set new goals for the March new moon, I'm looking back at the goal I set at the February new moon and noticing that I didn't even come close to meeting it.

Not meeting your goals does NOT mean you failed.

Part of the process of goal setting is looking back and noticing what happened after you set the goal and then learning from that. Then you take what you learned, and apply it to the next goal you set.

This process of trial and error and learn-as-you-go is how most big dreams happen.

It's not fancy, but it works.

And it's something ANYONE can do at ANY TIME.

And it turns goal-setting into this magical thing that shows you exactly where you need to learn, grow, and heal, in order to have more of the things you want.

I still remember, about 13 years ago before I was even considering leaving my day job, I made my first online creativity workshop kit and wanted to sell it.

I set a goal to sell 10 kits in one week.

And then.... nothing happened. Didn't sell a single kit.

At the end of the week, upon reflecting on this goal, I had to face all the feelings that came up as I accepted that I had no clue how to sell the kits.

Which lead me to see more clearly that I was waiting for this to happen to me, instead of going out there and creating it.

Which also shone a light on all sorts of other places with my dreams where I wait for it to happen instead of create it for myself.

Which got uncomfortable but also led to a decision: to read a business book.

I hated that business book and I didn't feel that I could do any of those things it talked about, so I went back to my "if I just make stuff that's good enough, people will want it" approach (which does NOT work).

I had to go around and around like this, each time making a decision to take the next step to learn how to create this thing I wanted, instead of waiting for it to happen for me.

Eventually, I started finding business books I could love and taking business classes and working with coaches and figured out MY WAY to sell my work.

I even made my own business class, to share what I'd learned about how I had brought creativity + playfulness + integrity + introspection into the process of sales and marketing and building an online business around sharing your creative gifts. It's called The Creative Business Incubator.

(Right now it's only available to Dream Book members - but at the end of the month there is a special sale happening where you can get just the Creative Business Incubator, plus I'm going to be doing some extra business coaching circles in April.)

You can start out not even knowing how much you don't know about how to get to your goal... and still get to your goal. As long as you don't give up.

Which is why I do a monthly New Moon Alchemy + Coaching circle, as a part of Dream Book, my creative mastermind. NOT to make sure everyone meets their goals every month, but to support everyone in staying in this process where you explore what you need to learn, grow, and heal, in order to have more of the things you want.

As I think back to that first sales goal I set 13 years ago - if I had just magically manifested it back then, would I be where I am today?

Because I LOVE that I trust myself to support myself financially. I LOVE that I KNOW HOW to do this in ways that feel good to me. I wouldn't want to trade what I have now for the experience of the sales just coming to me without me going out there and learning how to create it for myself.

So I always think of that on months when I didn't even get close to meeting my goals, like this month.

Last month, I felt *SO SURE* that I could finish my new project and be getting ready to put it out there.

But, here I am, still calling it "my new project" instead of feeling ready to show you exactly what it is.

At this time of the month, right before the New Moon, I look back to what I wrote on the last New Moon and reflect on what happened.

Did I do my best to show up for this goal?

Did I have the right kinds of support?

What was in the way? Is it what I thought would be in the way or was there an unexpected obstacle?

Is there a lesson for me here?

Is there something for me to let go of?

What does all this tell me about what to do next?

What do I WANT to do next? What feels inspiring now?

Again, this is NEVER about forcing myself to reach the goal on time.

It's ALWAYS about engaging with the process, which teaches me about the inner and outer healing and growth and change that need to happen for me to do this thing.

This month, it feels PERFECT that I didn't meet my goal.

I did do my best with it for the first 2 weeks, and then something unexpected happened.

On the February Full Moon, I lead the BREAKTHROUGH Alchemy Coaching Circle, which of course sparked a breakthrough. I was expecting some kind of breakthrough, I was not expecting the way it happened.

And then on the next day, my husband and I did a ceremony to feed a snake and a bear who had come to him in his dreams. If you know anything about Native American teachings you know that's some serious stuff, and that ceremony sparked some big lessons for us both.

And then this big unexpected thing happened and now we are making some equally big and unexpected changes.

So goal which was SO IMPORTANT to me at the February New Moon needs to take a backseat to the new things that are happening. And even though I didn't reach my goal, I am moving towards my dream.

This kind of reflection is VITAL for your dream.

Without it, this month of not meeting my goal becomes this shameful embarrassing thing.

I mean - I'm a life coach but I can't even meet my own goals? What's wrong with me? is the story that gets fed and then shoved underground where it will make it harder to make progress on my goals because it's nurturing the seeds of I'm a failure and I won't follow through so why bother.

And all of that stuff just festers.

WITH this reflection, I feel good about how this month went. I accept where I am. I feel proud of myself. I feel inspired and ready to set another goal and move forward again, understanding that I may not get to where I WANT to get next month, but I know I'll get to the right place as long as I keep showing up for myself.

Do this Magical New Moon Goal Setting with me.

The March New Moon Alchemy + Coaching Circle is happening on March 12 - tomorrow. The replay is available a few hours after the live call is done so you have a few days to do this call in the New Moon energy.

This is where we dig into ALL of this magic together.

This call is for everyone who is Dream Book - join us here.

Fumbling with our goals is sometimes the best way to reach them

Fumbling with our goals is sometimes the best way to reach them

Yesterday was our monthly New Moon Alchemy Coaching Circle in Dream Book. While I was getting ready for it, I looked at my notes from January's call and was stunned to see the goals I had set then.

This last month I've done lots of things, but none of them were the things that I said I'd do, at last month's new moon circle.

I shared this at the start of our call, and said that I planned to put this month's goals into my daytimer as a way to hold them better.

Is that a failure as a coach or is it freedom to just follow my creative flow or is it something else?

I think of failing your monthly goals as a really good thing, as one of the ways that you learn what your dreams REALLY need and grow into the person who can do those things.

But I didn't fail at my goals. I dropped them, that's different.

Not to make excuses or anything, but I think it's the pandemic.

Should we use the pandemic as an excuse, or reasonable reason, to not bother with our goals?

I think some goals should absolutely be shelved right now. Like I wish giant corporations would put their profit goals aside and just focus on helping their employees and customers get through the pandemic safely.

Let me explain the difference between GOALS and DREAMS here.

Every month in the New Moon Alchemy Circle we set GOALS to that help us move towards our DREAMS over the following month.

DREAMS are nourishing and help us be our true selves. Dreams heal and grow us. We should NEVER not bother with our dreams because working with your dream is generative.

Especially now, we need the medicine of our dreams. And there are an infinite number of ways to work/play/grow with a dream - it's NOT all about the "setting and meeting goals" part. The inner aspects of Dream Work are especially valuable right now.

Dream Work is the high quality self care that we all need right now.

And the point of the new moon goal setting is to step OUT of our usual ways of being in our lives, step IN to an alchemy circle where anything is possible, and then check in with our dreams and our selves, and make a plan for where to focus next.

It's NOT all about the "making it happen" part. Some months are more about healing and restorative self care and incubating ideas.

But my story more complicated than this.

Because when I looked in my daytimer to add my goals this morning - well holy shit my goals WERE there all along, written in both the monthly goals section and in each week's to do list.

It just didn't FEEL anything like how I remember it FEELING during the new moon circle where I set the goal.

These moments of surprising ourselves are often a sign that we are growing, our perspective has shifted we don't recognize our own goals.

This is good. SO good.

It's just super confusing to navigate.

So here's what I am doing: I had a whole page about this in my Dream Book so I went back to update it, and took all of the ideas I had there and made a list. This month the goal is to spend time with each idea.

SPEND TIME can mean: journaling about it, meditating on it, taking action on it - just go with what I'm feeling in the moment, not trying to force myself into taking action.

It's very easy to FORCE a dream.

We can use willpower and hard work and an attitude of "I won't allow any negative thinking or self-sabotaging beliefs to get in my way" and just steamroll our way into a dream.

That's a great way to create the OUTER form of the dream.

You may not be happy with how it FEELS to be there though. It might be hard to hold onto it, it might be stressful to take care of it, it might not fit into the rest of your life and create other conflicts.

There are so many ways that dreams can go bad when we force them because we didn't take the time to HEAL and GROW into it.

On the other hand, it's also very easy to suffocate a dream from not taking enough action.

You can't just meditate and journal your way into a dream. This work should become the FUEL for the outer work.

Finding the right balance IS complicated.

It's NORMAL to get lost sometimes.

I think it's even necessary to get lost, to go too far to one side, because that can teach you things that you can use when you come back into a more balanced approach.

So I'm forgiving myself for not working with my goals the way I wish I had over the last month.

And committing to try again this month.

The New Age Has A Lot Of Shadow Work To Do. Let’s Do It Together.

The New Age Has A Lot Of Shadow Work To Do. Let's Do It Together.

We are all connected. We need each other. Our dreams are all connected. Our dreams need each other. Living in a world full of systemic oppression impacts all of us, and all of our dreams.

I am in the process of writing a LOT of posts about this right now and I decided to start by sharing this one on critical thinking. It's not that I believe that critical thinking is EVERYTHING, I mostly use my intuition to make decisions in my life.

But a lack of critical thinking is destructive.

It's one of the reasons why huge swaths of the New Age community have embraced fascism via conspiracy theories.

I just googled "critical thinking" and landed on the wikipedia definition:

Critical thinking is the analysis of facts to form a judgment.[1] The subject is complex, and several different definitions exist, which generally include the rational, skeptical, unbiased analysis, or evaluation of factual evidence. Critical thinking is self-directed, self-disciplined, self-monitored, and self-corrective thinking.[2] It presupposes assent to rigorous standards of excellence and mindful command of their use. It entails effective communication and problem-solving abilities as well as a commitment to overcome native egocentrism[3][4] and sociocentrism.

Ever since the capital riot, I've been waiting for the big names in the Live Your Best Life Industry who had been promoting Q-Anon conspiracy theories to post apologies.

None came.

Which got me wondering WHY there is such an incredible disregard for critical thinking skills in the new age community. Which is why I googled critical thinking.

And, in that definition what stood out to me was the last word: sociocentrism.

The New Age is the colonization of Indigenous Wisdom.

It's privileged people feeling entitled to take whatever they want, from whomever they want to take it from, without any regard for the culture in which those things came from... and often feeling Better Than for having done so, like we are more evolved for being so open minded.

It's taking all of those things and creating a smorgasbord of spiritual and personal beliefs with - again - NO regard for the culture from which they came. Absolutely no context for practices which actually have thousands of years of context attached to them.

And then it's capitalizing on all of this to create a billion dollar industry.

And, for many of us, it's doing all of this as colonizers, occupying Indigenous land with no regard to the treaties. Or living in countries that are actively colonizing other countries.

I say this as a white settler in Canada who has been into pretty much EVERY New Age Thing at some point. And who has been making her living in this industry for the last 10 years.

The New Age couldn't exist as it is with proper critical thinking.

Because, again, sociocentrism. We are colonized people who are colonizing others.

It's the air we breathe.

And if we truly saw what we were doing, if we removed our own colonizing culture as a frame of reference, we would tear this whole thing down.

I know most of the lightworkers and healers and coaches do not mean harm.

We appreciate Indigenous wisdom.

We honour Indigenous culture.

But, sociocentrism. We do not look at the situation from outside of the lens of being settlers on occupied lands.

So we don't see that we are standing on the necks of Indigenous people, while appreciating the culture. We don't consider how long these practices were actually illegal for the people they belong to. We don't think about how Indigenous people came to live on reservations, we don't know anything about Indian Agents or the Indian Act. We don't think about generation after generation of children being torn from their families and taken to abusive residential schools.

This is "bad vibes" and we "don't want to get political" so we don't go there. We don't think about how white/settler silence is what keeps this whole genocidal machine in place.

I write this in Canada, which is really more accurately described as an illegal occupation than a country, due to the fact that we've never honoured the treaties and every one of our federal governments have pursued genocidal policies against Indigenous people.

If my words sound brutal, it's because colonization is brutal.

Colonization IS genocide.

And colonization is the culture in which the New Age was born.

The New Age couldn't have started in an un-colonized culture. This idea that we can borrow from a smorgasbord of spiritual beliefs and practices and remove them from the cultures from which they come could only come out a culture that is disconnected from it's own ancestral wisdom.

We saw the healing and magic of other people's ancestral spiritual practices - and we craved it so we took it. We didn't understand that we were missing the important part: the culture.

We didn't understand the actual colonized ground we were standing on while we were taking.

And we didn't understand that impact trumps intention. We genuinely believed that our good intentions were enough.

We're all about love and light while continuing to profit (either through personal growth or financial gain) from ongoing colonization.

This is the shadow work that we are being called to shine a light on.

One reason why real, grounded, effective shadow work has been so hard to find in the New Age community is because of how the tools, practices and beliefs were taken without regard for the culture they come from.

Our buffets of beliefs are missing big, important pieces that are creating huge community-wide blind spots.

But we can fix this.

We can make space for critical thinking, anti-racism and decolonization in our practices and communities.

We can learn, grow, and shift the culture.

We can right the wrongs and create a new culture.

I think critical thinking is a good place to start, especially the part about making a commitment to overcome native egocentrism and sociocentrism.

So here's what I suggest: decolonize your bookshelf.

For the last 5 years I've been making an effort to read more BIPOC authors than white authors.

The New Age publishing industry is VERY white. And if you haven't noticed, Hay House has been in a lot of trouble lately for their clumsy approach to trying to look more diverse without doing any real anti-racism work.

So, if you're like me, you have read A LOT of books written by white people - further entrenching your white settler colonial worldview.

It's time to widen your perspective.

I'm talking about BOTH non-fiction and fiction. While a lot of the non-fiction I've read has helped me learn what decolonization and anti-racism really are, it's the fiction that really helps shift my worldview.

I hesitate to post some book suggestions because I feel like any list I make is wildly incomplete. I am not an expert. And yet - thinking you have to be an expert before saying anything when everyone's voice is needed is not helpful.

So here are some books that have really stayed with me and helped me to expand my worldview:

Such A Fun Age by Kiley Reid

Birdie by Tracey Lindberg

Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants by Robin Wall Kimmerer

Nitinikiau Innusi: I Keep the Land Alive by Tshaukuesh Elizabeth Penashue

Split Tooth by Tanya Tagaq

Behold the Dreamers by Imbolo Mbue

When They Call You a Terrorist: A Black Lives Matter Memoir by Patrisse Khan-Cullors

An American Marriage by Tayari Jones

Dancing on Our Turtle's Back: Stories of Nishnaabeg Re-Creation, Resurgence, and a New Emergence by Leanne Simpson (I just finished this one and want to write more about it)

The Reconciliation Manifesto: Recovering the Land, Rebuilding the Economy by Arthur Manuel

Unsettling Canada: A National Wake-Up Call by Arthur Manuel

Beloved by Toni Morrison

Plus, of course, google anti-racism if you haven't been learning about it yet. There are TONS of good books out there, though I would suggest, when it comes to anti-racism, sticking to books written by Black and Indigenous people.

I want to do better

I want to do better

Last month I celebrated 10 years in business with the Creative Dream Incubator by offering a bunch of free classes and coaching - all the replays are available on this page - I recommend checking out the class on working with impossible dreams.

And as I thought about all the people I have worked with over the years, and how much each of them has struggled....how we all feel so much self doubt and fear and we held back in so many different internal and external ways....

And then I thought about how a lot of our inner stuff we have about our dreams, we have because we live in a word that is so hostile towards dreams....

And suddenly it was so clear.

No one is BORN timid with their dreams. We LEARN it, living in this culture.

And at the same time - after 10 years of creating courses and developing systems for doing this work - I've created the ultimate system (Dream Book) for helping people navigate the path from where they are to where they want to be.

Dream Book is creative and flexible and works for all kinds of dreams, for navigating both the inner and outer work. I use it every day to help me with my dreams and I love tending to the group in the Dream Book program...

But, for me, CREATING new programs take a lot more energy than FACILITATING programs does. Which means all of that creative energy I've been using to create new programs for the last 10 years can be used somewhere else now. And so...

I want the Creative Dream Incubator to be exploring: how do we change the culture so that we don’t have as many obstacles to work through?

I mean this in two ways:

How do we help to level the playing field NOW, in terms of racism, sexism, homophobia, ableism, classism, and all of the ways our political, social and financial structures oppress and fail us all, in varying degrees?

How do we create freedom, joy, and a good life for future generations?

There is so much I want to talk about

And I have a lot of thoughts about the intersection of white supremacy, capitalism and the life coaching/spiritual + personal growth industries and where the Live Your Best Life Industry actively contributes to systemic oppression.

It's time for the new age to grow up and be a force for good for ALL people and life on this planet.

All of the activism work I've been doing and learning about over the last 5 years I've done largely in my personal life. I didn't know how the Creative Dream Incubator could be a part of that. But this keeps coming up when I am talking with my friends in the industry and now I see a way to begin - by putting these conversations out here in public.

And I know from working with dreams that you don't have to know HOW. You just have to show up. So this is my commitment to start showing up.

I have been doing a lot of writing, and getting posts ready to share on my blog and social media accounts. I will start posting them this week.

Celebrating 10 years in business with an epic month of free classes + coaching

It was January 1, 2011, that I officially quit my last job to do the Creative Dream Incubator full time.

(Which, at that time, was called ABCcreativity - the Creative Dream Incubator was the first e-course I made once I started doing this full time)

I remain so grateful to me-from-then for making the move.

I'm feeling especially grateful for my business during this difficult year.

Grateful to have work that is fulfilling and fun and also helps me hold space for my own process of healing and growth.

Grateful to have steady income during such an unpredictable year.

The Creative Dream Incubator is my biggest dream come true. Dreams grow you. And then as you grow, your dreams grow, but then they grow you even more, and it becomes an infinite cycle of growth and inspiration.

And I am grateful for the ways that the Creative Dream Incubator has grown me.

I am braver, I trust myself more, I trust my creativity and intuition more, and I feel less of a need to prove my worth or the value of my work.

My once impossible dream became my sturdy foundation.

I do still remember when I wanted to do some kind of meditation/creativity workshops, to offer the magic and healing I had experienced to others, but had no clue how to make that happen.

And I remember figuring out how to do that work, but doing it on the side while working full time, and feeling so grateful to be doing it at all while also feeling SO SURE that I could never do this as my full time work.

I always try to remember that things that felt COMPLETELY impossible to me once are my life now.

Which means that the things that FEEL impossible now actually might not be.

One thing hasn't changed: that desire to offer the magic + healing that I have received to others.

This is the foundation of how I've built my business and I am excited to keep doing this in 2021. When we do this work of receiving the gifts and medicine of our dreams, this helps us become more of who we really are.

Being more of who we really are is the more liberating, healing and joy-inducing thing we can do for ourselves.

And it's also how we grow wiser and become braver and ready to stand up, speak up, and create a better world for everyone.

To celebrate the ten year anniversary of the Creative Dream Incubator, I'm going to do a whole month long FESTIVAL OF DREAMS.

This means: free classes, coaching videos, challenges and other fun stuff. A whole month of inspiration, support and magic for setting yourself up for RADICAL SUCCESS with your dreams in 2021.

I believe that collectively, we are at a turning point.

We need to become who we really are in order to save this planet, because I don't believe that who we really are is careless enough to destroy the only planet we've got.

We need to become who we really are in order to save each other, because I don't believe that who we really are would create these political systems that have people dying of poverty while others hoard more wealth than they can use in 20 generations.

And personally, I feel at a turning point as well.

I feel more creative and sure of myself than I ever have. I feel ready to both create and put myself out there in new ways.

I have so many big dreams for 2021! And I know you do too.

So let's prepare to dream BIGGER BRIGHTER AND DEEPER in 2021.

Let's use this moment to spur us on to greater things.

The Festival of Dreams will start on Monday, January 4.

My pandemic brain isn't great at planning so all of my planning powers are going to Dream Book right now. Which means I don't have a plan for the whole month - just a big pile of ideas and a commitment to keep showing up for the Festival of Dreams all month long.

But the GREAT thing about that is that: you can help me decide what we do in the Festival of Dreams!

LET ME KNOW what you're working with:

  • What are your questions about how to get to where you want to be in 2021?
  • What are the main obstacles you're facing right now?

Go to this page and answer these questions on the comments so I can make the classes that will help YOU the most.

Here's what I do know:

I'll be offering free mini-classes, coaching videos and creative dream challenges throughout January on Instagram Live. (If you're not on Instagram it would be worth it to join for this month). The replays will be available on my Instagram page.

Everything will be freely available - you don't have to sign up for emails or anything.

OK Let’s DO THIS

(If you missed my Solstice Meditation + Journaling on Instagram on Monday, you can watch it right here)

Since the Solstice, my dreams have been stepping up and making all new demands.

I love it.

Except when I’m feeling terrified about it, and like I am too small to Dream bigger, of course.

I just recorded a new Dream Book video about working with the dreams that feel completely impossible.

And that’s the vibe I am bringing to my end-of-year journaling and reflection: Determination to set myself up to do impossible things in 2021.

Like - let’s do this already!!!

Are you with me?

Dream Book is ongoing through the holidays. I’m in there every day claiming my new dreams, the ones I’ve been circling around and “I don’t know if I’m ready-ing” about for some time.

I’m making lists. Shining a light on fears. Transforming the things that hold me back. Digging deep and using ALL the tools.

I’ll keep doing this in between baking cookies, playing board games, making the kids get outside for fresh air, and enjoying all of the holiday snacks.

I’ll be writing every day about how I’m doing this and inviting you to DREAM BIG with me (or dream bright or dream calm or however you want to play with your dreams), on our private Dream Book website where we can talk about the awkward vulnerable unsure parts without the whole internet being able to see. (And where you have access to all the tools you need to actually DO it)

Join me here.
