Year in Review
My annual ritual of taking 3-days in complete silence to welcome in the New Year by honoring the year past, integrate the key learnings and envision the year ahead. True depth can only be found in continuous stillness and presence. As an offering of gratitude, I create these year end reviews as artistic expressions of my integration process, and in service of sharing the fruits of the year and inspiring others to life their life as a work of art.

Nightingale
program overview
2021 Program Details
In 2018, I launched the Nightingale program to prototype a virtual “learning journey” to facilitate participants in an end-of-year integration process over 4 weeks. Everyone walked away from the program having created an artifact that distilled their year’s accomplishments and learnings, and more organized foundation and vision for their next year. Since then, I have since run the program 4 times, each time with more refinement & passion, in Graciousness to the beloved Nightingale community!

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 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 synthesized curriculum that I have practiced and refined for myself over the last 4 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.
This is an example of what I have created last year to give you a taste for what is possible: http://tingkelly.com/annual-review
Program Objectives
Energy Mapping: Get a high-level view of your year and how you invested your time and energy. 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”
Harvesting the Fruits of your 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. Go through all your photos and journal entries from the year to find the gems. 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 and lessons 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.
Organization Systems: Organize and design better life systems to enter your year with a solid and clean slate. I’ll share all my best practices and systems for organization of files, space and calendaring system to enter your year in top shape.
Ritual Design: How to design powerful rituals for your New Years immersion to gain more clarity, freedom from the past, and honoring the sacred in your process. I’ll be sharing different ritual design tools as well as specific ideas and suggestions for ways to bring more ritual into your year. We’ll also play with some Divination practices and Guides to help bring in cosmic support.
Life Visioning & Values Compass: Give yourself permission to dream BIG, to envision the possible directions with the depth of your imagination. We’ll great a compass of Values that helps you in decision making and stay on course throughout the year. I’ll share different exercises to help you think creatively and be the author of your life in a creative and beautiful way.
Program Design
I have broken down the program into an immersive journey that involves a 3-part process:
Pre-Immersion Process: 1-2 weeks
New Years Immersion Process: 3 ceremonial days
Post-Immersion process: 1 week
The 3-day container can be scheduled at a different time if needed, but done most ideally crossing the threshold of New Years so that you can harness the cosmic forces of the New Year. Much of the pre-immersion work is the preparatory work to lead up to the immersion to make the best use of that time -- from organizing your documents, to cleaning your space and perhaps preparing to travel to somewhere special for your ritual.
The learning journey is designed to be self-guided at your own pace -- knowing that we each lead busy lives. The 3 Zoom calls will be recorded, and all the content and instructions will be included in a password-protected microsite for you to access as a central location. I created two versions of the instructions: 1) Light weight version and 2) Deep Plunge version -- depending on how much time you can devote to the process. It can vary between 2-3 hours/week to 4-5 hours/week for the Pre and Post, and then the 3-day Immersion is designed for 3 full days.
The 3 group Zoom calls are scheduled for:
1 Zoom call on Dec 8 to initiate the group and the Pre-Immersion process
5 - 6pm PST (Will share calendar invite w/ Zoom link)
1 Zoom call on Dec 30 before we enter the Immersion process
5 - 6pm PST (Will share calendar invite w/ Zoom link)
1 Zoom call on Jan 8 to close & celebrate together
5 - 6pm PST (Will share calendar invite w/ Zoom link)
If you would also like to add a personalized 90-min. Gene Keys session to support your Soul Compass viewing, you can schedule that in advance as well. Highly recommended for maximum visioning.
The microsite will be available until Feb 9th for those who need to schedule their course immersion later.

“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.”
