pring is in the air – the perfect time to reflect on what you want to bring alive. Does life feel tired or drab, like the dead leaves under the snow? As you search for perspective, ‘drop out’ to reemerge energized and in tune with your world. To paraphrase Timothy Leary, drop out, tune in, and turn on.

Drop out
Dropping out of daily chaos is a catalyst for vitalising life. Depending on life stages and circumstances, dropping out may mean taking a year off to travel, renegotiating work life to take summers off, or to work a four-day work week. It may look like scheduling a sacred family movie night or taking the time to learn something new – yoga, surfing, a new language, a new way of cooking. The point is to actively create quiet.

Tune in to you
Stepping away from the everyday noise of life allows you to tune into what really matters and to live life on your terms instead of from what ‘should’ be done. Engaging your body and becoming present makes you mindful of energy exchanges – noticing your impact and what’s impacting you. In the quiet space created by dropping out, you’ll tune into the natural rhythms of life and the universal flow.
