Advent Calendar Of Calm

This journey is intended to help foster calm, clarity, and gratitude in a season that can feel overwhelming. These meditations offer imagery and reflections that can serve as gentle reminders of personal growth, mindfulness, and the quiet beauty of the winter season.

Each session introduces a theme rooted in the imagery and symbolism of winter, drawing on familiar delights that may well have featured in advent calendars you have seen; glowing candles, holly boughs, robins, and pine cones, alongside ideas of nourishment like gratitude and the invitation to rest.

These themes are not tied to any particular religion, but instead offer universal reflections on the beauty of the season.

Each of the daily meditations begins with a reflective lesson to cultivate mindfulness and inner calm. So join me by crackling fires, frosts, and starry skies to nurture and support your winter well-being as the quiet beauty of winter unfolds and the year comes to a close.

I absolutely loved the advent! I looked forward to it everyday.
The daily reminder of the magic of the season counteracted the stress of it.
I usually don’t like the run up to Christmas much, but this was a real comfort.
It really helped me to find what I do like about the season, gratitude and appreciation of the beauty of Christmas time; nature, fairy lights, fire, soothing hot drinks, stories, beautiful music.
Please do this again Sarah. Thank you so much ♥️🎄

The course gave a moment of peace and calm to start each day, thank you it was excellent and I will do again next year, Merry Christmas.

Thank you so much for this course! Whilst I finished it a little late it’s been an important source of peace, space and balance for me throughout the festive season. Thank you! 🙏

I was very grateful to have this small break every morning. It was so peaceful.

One of the most delightful courses on Insight Timer!

Thank you so much for a beautiful month of reminders about the holidays being so beautiful and about nature being so beautiful. This was the most amazing advent calendar I’ve ever experienced. Thank you so very much. Happy new year Namaste 🙏

This was such a great daily practice for advent. Thank you so much, Sarah!

Thank you for this lovely way to celebrate and honor the season🎄 ✨️

Thank you so much Sarah for this very calming and beautiful course. It has guided and comforted me through the last 25 days of what is always a busy and full month mentally and physically. It has given me moments of much needed time to stop, rest and reflect. It has also made me appreciate all the magical things that appear this time of the year that we sometimes can forget about. I have enjoyed this course very much. It has also made me feel more festive and Christmassy. Many blessings to you Sarah. ✨🕯️❤️

Thank you so much for bringing a little bit of Christmas magic into each day of advent.

A lovely tradition! I want all my days to open as a gifted reminder to be grateful and aware of the simple magic that surrounds us.

Beautiful beautiful beautiful
I could type that 25 times for each day of this wonderful advent course. It’s so warm and cozy!
Thank you!

Excellent wonderful will visit again next year thanks. 😊

I write this on Christmas afternoon deep in the (still snowless) woods South of Stockholm. I’ve been an old woman alone, by choice, just me and my dog, working on a book and taking long walks, this two weeks of Christmas. It has been sublime. This advent calendar has added to my sense of time passing, brought back memories, and been a divine way to begin each day in the long darkness and finally past the solstice. It made a difference in my Christmas 🎄 this year and for that I light a candle and offer up deep gratitude. 🙏 Cynthia x

A lovely accompaniment to my advent contemplative practice. Thank you!

Loved this program for honoring the symbols of winter. For sure this doesn’t have to be done during December. Anytime during winter would be helpful to stave off that dark cold feeling. Very nice!

What a truly wonderful way to start each morning during this busy time of year. I enjoyed this immensely.

Lovely course to set each morning with a calm and joyful meditation 🎄💕

December was always going to be a difficult month for me but having these moments of calm at the start of each day was so very helpful and I'm glad I found this course. Inspiring and fun in equal measure 🌟 🎄

This was absolutely lovely. It was such a fun addition to the holiday season. I looked forward to it every morning. Thank you so much!
