A Sacred Passageway Between Years
Guided by Aspen Decrew, this immersive one-day journey offers a sacred pause to honor the past, release what no longer serves, and consciously create what’s ahead—welcoming the New Year with clarity, alignment, and strength.​
​
Inspired many years ago by a book, a song, and a deep personal commitment to “be present to it all,” this ceremony became one of the most beloved yearly traditions—requested again and again for over 15 years.
Now, held within the sacred land and architecture of Sedonya, it returns at a time when collective evolution, personal clarity, and conscious choice feel more important than ever.
This is not a workshop.
This is a rite of passage—a daylong ceremonial arc designed to help you complete one chapter and author the next with intention, resonance, and authenticity.

THE EXPERIENCE
A Full-Day Immersion Into Completion, Clarity & Creation
By the time the year draws to a close, many people are carrying more than they realize.
​
Moments that never quite resolved. Effort that went unseen. Grief, growth, change, fatigue, insight—layered together without space to settle.
Surrounded by beauty, connections, growth, wins, celebrations...some recognized and some not.
The calendar turns, but the body and heart often haven’t had a chance to catch up.
​
This gathering at Sedonya offers something rare: time to stop, to breathe, and to truly cross from one year into the next—rather than rushing forward with what still lingers behind you.
​
Across a single, immersive day, you are guided through a natural arc of release and renewal. The journey begins by gently meeting the year you are leaving—honoring what was lived, what was learned, and what no longer needs to be carried.
As attention deepens, unresolved emotions soften, old energy clears, and the past finds completion—not through analysis, but through presence.
​
From this cleared space, the year ahead begins to reveal itself.
Instead of forcing goals or resolutions, you are invited to listen for what feels true now. Clarity emerges. Direction sharpens. Intentions form not from pressure, but from alignment. You begin to sense which patterns are ready to support you—and which are finally complete.
​
The experience culminates in a conscious declaration—an embodied, ceremonial crossing into the New Year, held within the stillness and power of Sedonya’s land. This is not about reinventing yourself. It is about arriving more fully as you are, unburdened and awake to what wants to be created through you.
Throughout the day, you are supported by guided meditation, music, reflection, and ceremonial elements that invite both softness and momentum. Midway through the evening, a nourishing plant-based Sedonya dinner offers grounding, rest, and integration.
​
If you have been longing for a New Year that feels meaningful—not performative, not rushed—this is an invitation to step out of the noise and into a true rite of passage.
Here, in sacred land, you are not counting down time.
You are crossing a threshold.

Meet Aspen​
​​
For over 25 years, Aspen has guided creatives, leaders, and visionaries through meaningful transitions, supporting them in moving beyond insight into real, lived change — without bypassing the emotional, relational, or practical realities of life.
She is known for her ability to help people complete inner cycles that quietly shape their choices, their work and their relationships. Her work has touched therapists, mission-driven leaders, and artists, including musician Kenny Loggins.
Aspen's offerings include International retreats, intimate private circles, private mentorship, and select group experiences focused on freedom and full self-expression. She is the creator of Completions & Creations and A Future of Your Own Choosing, bodies of work devoted to conscious completion, aligned choice, and intentional creation.
This New Year’s offering invites participants to cross the threshold awake — carrying forward only what is true, essential, and ready to be lived.
Meet Sonya​
Others ask to be felt.
​
Sonya’s work creates the kind of space where people can settle into themselves — where the nervous system softens, the heart opens, and the experience becomes embodied rather than conceptual.
Through soundscapes, ceremonial offerings, and intuitive presence, Sonya weaves a resonant field that supports emotional integration, energetic clearing, and coherence — allowing what’s been stirred to gently land.
​
At Completions & Creations 2025 → 2026, her offerings help transform reflection into felt experience — so the transition into the New Year isn’t just marked in the mind, but registered in the body.
Her work invites people to arrive fully, release what’s no longer needed, and cross the threshold grounded, open, and deeply present.
Meet Uqualla​
Some moments are meant to be honored, not rushed.
Uqualla serves as the Indigenous elder guiding the Sacred New Year’s Ceremonial Meal—bringing prayer, presence, and deep respect for the land, the food, and the moment of crossing.
Rooted in Indigenous tradition, his offering transforms the meal into ceremony—where nourishment becomes medicine, intention becomes tangible, and community gathers in gratitude and reverence.
His presence grounds the transition into the New Year, reminding us that renewal is not just about setting intentions, but about listening, receiving, and remembering our place within the larger circle of life.
At Completions & Creations 2025 → 2026, Uqualla’s guidance helps anchor the celebration in something ancient, embodied, and real—so the threshold into the New Year is crossed with humility, warmth, and heart.
