On the first Saturday of 2024, The Happy Journal Co. partnered with Choices + Outcomes and Vision Boards Charcuterie to host a New Year’s Reflect & Reset event at Yoga Space NYC. Despite the snowy weather, attendees braved the elements to prioritize their wellbeing and make time for themselves. With a focus on meditation, journaling, and mingling, the (sold out!) event provided a unique experience for personal growth and social connection. Here’s a recap of how it went:
Clearing the Slate
The Reflect & Reset event aligned with the themes of creating space for new energy, setting honest and actionable intentions, and finding vision holders within the community. Attendees were encouraged to let go of past experiences and embrace the present moment, allowing them to create a clear vision for their future. The event aimed to provide a holistic approach to self-renewal, combining physical, mental, and emotional practices to support personal growth and transformation.
Thank you to our friends at Yoga Space NYC for having us!
Creating Space and Unlocking Inner Vitality
Through kundalini yoga and meditation led by Anna Tansley of Choices + Outcomes, attendees were guided to release stagnant energy and create space for their 2024 visions to drop in. Participants were guided to use breathwork, movement, and meditation to dive deep within themselves and unlock their inner vitality. The meditation, “Beaming and Creating the Future," focused on clearing the mind of distractions and attachments to allow more creativity and freedom of thought in the same vein as Anna’s Rejuvenate and Reset workshops. The session encouraged individuals to use this focused and beaming state to project their minds, create their desired future and establish a positive relationship with the world.

The Power of Journaling and Setting Intentions
After meditating and clearing energy, the group was ready to kick off the journaling portion of the event and get intentional about their 2024 dreams and goals. Happy Journal Co. founder Sara DeLuca says “for the past several years, I’ve slowly made the shift away from ever-popular resolutions and have instead moved toward the practice of intention-setting. Something about identifying a vision and outlining reasonable action steps that feel achievable has helped me to let go of the outcomes and stay close to my day-to-day journey. That’s the essence of the message I wanted to come through during the workshop.”
Attendees were provided with notebooks, pens, and an intention-setting worksheet based on the analogy of planting and nurturing seeds. Everyone was empowered to transform their bigger 2024 goals and aspirations into smaller, actionable steps for 2024. By putting their thoughts and dreams on paper, participants were able to gain clarity and set themselves up for success in the coming year.
This intention-setting workshop will soon be available as a 5-week online course. Sign up to be notified when the course launches! You can also access the playlist used during the event here.

Grazing with Gratitude
The event concluded with mingling and meeting new people while enjoying tasty charcuterie cups provided by Vision Boards Charcuterie. After meditating and journaling, attendees had the opportunity to connect with like-hearted spirits in a calming and supportive atmosphere. Making the most of Yoga Space’s beautiful environment, individuals were encouraged to share their dreams, exchange ideas, and build a community of support around their 2024 visions. This aspect of the event fostered a sense of connection and camaraderie, reminding participants that they are not alone on their journey toward personal growth and transformation.
