Nightingale Program
There is a legend about a bird which sings just once in its life, more sweetly than any other creature on the face of the earth. From the moment it leaves the nest it searches for a thorn tree, then, singing among the savage branches, it impales itself upon the longest, sharpest spine. And, dying, it rises above its own agony. One superlative song, existence the price. But the whole world stills to listen, and God in His heaven smiles.
invocations
In the deep stillness of winter, with the depth of darkness and inward focus, the nightingale sings her sweet song. This is not a song for display to others, there is no need to perform or prove – this song is the song of the heart, of truth and beauty. The nightingale sings in the dead of night, opening its voice and deepest expression of truth from a place of being home in oneself.
This immersion is designed for you to share your heartsong, to access the depths of your being and sing one of the most beautiful songs about your life anyone has ever sung. Just for you. For no one else but you. To marvel in your own voice, the unique vibration of your soul, and reunite with nature in solitude, in still reflection of self. The Winter element of Metal is about allowing the leaves to compost back into the earth, alchemizing into minerals that will become the rich soil for the blossoming of seeds for the next year. This cycle of life is the most natural things in the world; yet the rituals of Winter have been long forgotten.
My goal for this program is that hold the most gracious mirror up to yourself, to see yourself how you have longed others to see you, and from the deepest stillness, humility and act of self-love, share your true expression -- the song that lays deep in your heart.
Program Overview and Philosophy
The concept behind the 3-day Year End Review Immersion is to create an intentional container for a deep digestion, integration and visioning of your year past and the year coming. Many people move into the new year in a blur (literally and figuratively), and often find themselves in a state of overwhelm and anxiety as January hits and time starts speeding ahead quickly.
What if you could enter into the new year feeling confident, recalibrated into your highest purpose and essence, and ready to take big leaps toward your dreams? What if you had a map of all the powerful moments and accomplishments you made that year that you could see from bird’s eye view and also get to share with your loved ones to remember and continue to harvest wisdom and insights? And then what if you actually gave yourself the time and space to vision your year ahead from a place of deep grounding, humble confidence, and and an open heart? What if you could allow your imagination and dreams to run free, and you could actually plant seeds that can flower and bloom consciously throughout your year?
This immersion program is an overview document of a format that I have practiced and refined over the last 3 years and found incredible depth and joy in the creative process. I have practiced my immersions in beautiful locations, from Mexico and Bali, and make it a fun, creative process of self-love, creativity and inspiration. The importance of space and carving out the time and space to honor your life, take it “seriously” and harvest the deep wisdom present in every moment of your life.
program Objectives
Time Overview Effect: Get a high-level view of your year and how you spend your time. Time analysis, energy management and dot-connecting. Start to see the patterns of your energy so that you can self-reflect on your habits, creative flow periods, state of mind so that you can ultimately be able to make refinements and design a better rhythm for you for the next year that is closer to your “true nature”
Idea Harvesting: Do you know how many great ideas get lost or wasted in hidden journals? The importance of a Harvesting Ritual is to be able to go through all your journals, both hand-written and digitally, that you have captured that year and be able to synthesize and capture the best and brightest ideas in a consolidated place so that you can archive the rest and keep the gems. These could turn out to be a major contribution to your future projects.
Reflect on Key Lessons: The depth of wisdom and lessons that are always available moment by moment is astounding; it all depends on our ability to pay attention to them and integrate them into our daily life. Being able to write down your major lessons from the year can be incredibly powerful and cathartic, and pairing the process with rituals that can alchemically ingrain these changes into your system.
Catalog your most powerful experiences: Our year is an aggregate of our experiences, marked by peaks and troughs. Catalog the key moments, experiences, trips, events that were significant so that you may ingrain these moments in your memory, and harvest the key insights and learnings to take forward with you.

“Are you prepared to live the life you are being asked to live? Nightingale is a safe and beautiful container for people to be held accountable for designing a life of meaning and joy that we are all looking to have more of. Ting is a wonderful host and facilitator. I feel lucky to participate in her experiences and rituals. I ended the year feeling unable to move forward in my life both mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Through the process, I enter the new year feeling confident that I can move and grow through any discomfort.”
