SUMMARY:The Clearing — A New Year Immersion in Awareness\, Presence\, and Freedom
DESCRIPTION:A New Year Immersion in Awareness\, Presence\, and Freedom \nPut down what you no longer need to carry. Make room for life.\nWith MuRay (Courtney A. Kazembe) · JamaicaDecember 23–31\, 2026Plus a New Year’s Day beach gathering · January 1\, 2027US$3\,000 per person · All-inclusive \nThe year will change. What will you do differently?\nA new year brings possibilities\, but we bring our habits with us. The same fears can shape our choices. Old hurts can enter our relationships. Something we have wanted to do for years can remain something we will get to someday. \nIf you want the coming year to be different\, give yourself time to look honestly at how you are living. What keeps repeating? What are you ready to put down? What choice have you been waiting to make? \nYou can have a good relationship\, a successful career\, money in the bank\, and people who love you\, yet still long for a little peace. You wake up with things on your mind. You carry conversations that ended years ago. Even when nothing urgent needs to be done\, something inside keeps moving. \nI know that longing. I lived with it for decades. I have also experienced moments of such profound peace that nothing needed to be added to life for it to feel complete. Over time\, those recognitions changed how I understood myself and how I met the ordinary circumstances of my life. \nI would love to explore this with you at The Clearing. \nFrom December 23 to 31\, we will gather in Jamaica to give ourselves time and space to pause\, look deeply\, and listen. Through guided inquiry\, meditation\, silence\, time in nature\, and honest conversation\, we will explore what stands between us and a fuller experience of being alive. \nThe Clearing is an opportunity to put down what you no longer need to carry and meet your life with greater awareness\, an open heart\, and the freedom to choose how you live from here. \nSome of what we carry has become so familiar that we take it to be who we are. We may spend years trying to prove our worth\, avoid rejection\, or protect ourselves from being hurt again. These patterns can influence what we attempt\, what we say\, and how close we allow others to come. \nDuring our time together\, we will bring attention to those patterns as they appear. We will explore what it means to put down a grievance\, feel something we have been avoiding\, question a belief we have mistaken for a fact\, and make a choice we can stand behind. \nThere is room to discover what matters to you now\, beneath the expectations you have been trying to meet. There is room to speak honestly\, open your heart\, and begin to act on what you recognize. \nWhat we will explore\n\nThe programmed mind: recognizing the beliefs\, habits\, and assumptions that influence how we live.\nClearing: bringing awareness to old hurts\, fears\, grievances\, and limiting conclusions\, and exploring what we are ready to release.\nPresence: returning to this body\, this breath\, and the life happening here.\nThe open heart: exploring courage\, acceptance\, forgiveness\, gratitude\, trust\, and love in our actual relationships.\nChoice and responsibility: meeting what is here and choosing our response with honesty and care.\nAuthentic living: bringing what we discover into our work\, relationships\, and everyday decisions.\n\nOur days will include experiential exercises and opportunities for reflection\, alongside time to rest\, laugh\, connect\, and enjoy being in Jamaica. We will allow space for what you discover to settle into your own experience. \nYou do not need meditation experience or a particular spiritual belief. Bring your curiosity\, your willingness to participate\, and whatever life is asking you to meet right now. You will be invited to engage honestly\, with respect for your own pace and boundaries. \nI will draw on the inquiry at the heart of my book\, I AM\, and on my years of practice\, retreat\, questioning\, and learning. Most of all\, we will work with what is present among us. Your life will be the ground of the inquiry. \nWelcoming the new year\nOn January 1\, we will spend a day at the beach together\, with time to swim\, rest\, enjoy one another’s company\, and welcome the new year. \nPerhaps there is something you have been ready to put down for a long time. Perhaps there is a conversation to have\, a choice to make\, or a part of your life that needs your attention. Give yourself the time to meet it. \nI would love you to join me. \nThe Clearing\nA New Year Immersion in Awareness\, Presence\, and Freedom \nJamaica · December 23–31\, 2026New Year’s Day beach gathering · January 1\, 2027US$3\,000 per person · All-inclusive \nTo express your interest and receive the venue\, full inclusions\, and booking details\, contact me directly with the words “The Clearing.” \nExpress your interest in The Clearing → \nLove and light\, \nMuRay (Courtney A.
