The Sacred Pause
This sacred time, let's birth the new you.
13 days to close what's complete, rest in the stillness, and emerge into 2026 as who you're becoming—not who you've been running on empty.
Enter The Sacred Pause →If You're Feeling This Right Now...
Exhausted but unable to stop
Scattered across too many commitments
Longing for a reset you can't seem to give yourself
Emotionally heavy from a year that asked too much
Craving stillness but afraid you'll fall behind
Wanting to begin again—but not sure from where
You're not broken. You're at a threshold.
And you don't have to cross it alone.
Your guide, Shanti
Come Home to Yourself
For 13 days, you'll be held in sacred space—closing what's complete, resting at the still point, and letting devotion (not pressure) guide you into your next chapter. This isn't another program to get through. It's a passage to rest into.
I created this because I needed it first. Years ago, I kept crossing into new years scattered, depleted, hoping something would magically shift. It never did—until I learned to pause, to consciously close what was complete, and to let my devotion lead instead of my exhaustion. Now I want to hold that space for you.
You'll Be Held With
- 5 live ceremonies (all recorded)
- 6 optional evening gatherings
- Supportive guidance emails
- The Devotional Inventory
- Andrea's sacred teachings
- Crossing ritual for Dec 31
This Is For You If
You're tired of starting the new year already depleted—and you're ready to begin from softness, truth, and sacred attention instead.
You Already Know Something Needs to Shift
You've felt it for weeks—maybe months. The heaviness. The scattering. The quiet ache for something different.
Most people will slide into January exhausted, already behind, dragging the same patterns into another year because they never stopped long enough to release them.
If you don't consciously close this year, the year closes you.
This is the moment your future self will remember—the one where you finally paused, gathered yourself home, and crossed into the new year from truth instead of survival.
This Is for You If...
✓ You're feeling the pull
- You've been holding more than anyone realizes, and something in you knows you can't carry it into 2026
- You've given your energy to everything except the quiet place inside you that actually guides your life
- You're craving a softer landing—not more intensity, more pressure, or more demands
- You want to begin 2026 from devotion, not depletion
- You feel the stirring—that gentle sense that something new is trying to be born through you
✗ This isn't the right fit if...
- You want a high-intensity goal-setting program
- You prefer to push through rather than pause
- You're not open to ceremony or sacred space
- You want someone to tell you exactly what to do next
If you're sensing that truth in your chest right now... this passage was made for you.
What Others Have Experienced
"I didn't realize how much of my year was still living in my body until I did the inventory. Looking back month by month wasn't about judging or fixing anything — it was about seeing clearly. I could finally trace where my energy had gone, where it had been given freely, and where it had been spent unconsciously. That alone shifted something. By the end, I felt more honest with myself than I had in a long time, and that honesty brought a deep sense of peace."
"The nightly meditations became my anchor. There was something so powerful about knowing others were sitting in the same stillness at the same time — not talking, not fixing, just being present. My nervous system softened in a way I didn't know it needed. Those evenings felt like being held in a quiet field, where nothing was required of me. Over time, that stillness started to follow me into my days."
"The sacred texts surprised me the most. They weren't something to analyze — they opened something. I'd read a passage and suddenly see my own life from a wider angle, as if a curtain had been pulled back. Situations I'd been stuck in for years felt lighter, not because they disappeared, but because I could meet them differently. The words stayed with me long after the pause ended."
"Andrea's teachings around the divine child went straight to a place I didn't know how to reach on my own. It wasn't emotional or dramatic — it was gentle, clear, and deeply grounding. I felt a reconnection with a part of myself that had been quiet for a long time. That connection changed how I relate to my creativity, my boundaries, and even my sense of joy."
By January 1, You Will Feel...
Lighter in your heart
As if something you've been carrying quietly for months finally loosened its grip.
Steady in yourself
No longer stretched thin by everyone else's needs or the pressure of the year.
Rooted in your devotion
Not scattered by the noise, expectations, or momentum of the world around you.
Clear about what your soul is asking
Rather than trying to perform your way into the new year.
Reconnected to your creative energy
The force that actually shapes your life—no longer pulled by forces outside you.
Ready for your true beginning
Not another resolution. A rebirth from the inside out.
These aren't promises you have to keep. They're the natural effects of letting your devotion gather, soften, and rise again from the truth of your heart.
During these 13 days, your devotion stops scattering and starts shaping your life from your heart's truth. You stop dragging last year's weight into the new one. You cross the threshold awake.
Your Sacred Passage
December 19, 2025 – January 1, 2026
Two ways to enter—one with personal guidance for the year ahead.
See Both Paths →Enrollment closes December 18
A 13-Day Rite of Passage
Every true initiation has three movements: separation, threshold, and return. The Sacred Pause honors this ancient arc.
Phase One
The Closing
December 19 – 24
Gather your energy home. Walk through each month of 2025 with The Devotional Inventory—reviewing, witnessing, releasing, forgiving. This is the conscious completion that allows you to truly leave the year behind.
Phase Two
The Sacred Pause
December 24 – 26 · The Still Point
A pause is not inactivity—it is interruption. Stepping out of noise, urgency, and momentum long enough to hear your deeper truth. The quiet space between breaths where the nervous system softens, the heart becomes honest, and the soul shows you what is real.
It is here that devotion begins to move.
Phase Three
The Becoming
December 26 – January 1
Tend the Divine Child that was born in the pause. Plant sacred seeds for 2026—not goals born from pressure, but aligned intentions rising from devotion. Cross the threshold consciously, stepping into the new year from alignment rather than performance.
The way you cross a threshold shapes the reality your devotion will keep creating all year long.
I'm Ready to Enter →Five Live Ceremonies
All sessions are recorded for those who cannot attend live
Opening the Sanctuary
We gather to open sacred space together. Teaching on devotion as creative life-force, calling your energy back from where it's scattered.
You leave feeling anchored—as if your body finally knows a threshold is coming.
The Devotional Inventory Begins
On the longest night, we enter the sacred review—walking month by month through 2025.
The noise starts to quiet, and your truth becomes harder to ignore.
Igniting the Light of Conception
We plug into the Christ Light, clear cords that no longer serve, and receive upgraded codes.
A first clear spark appears—you can feel what is wanting to be born in you.
Ushering in the Birthing
Focus your devotional energy. Set aligned intentions. I'll share my personal crossing ritual.
You now hold a clear vision and a simple ritual to carry you through.
Your Sovereign Crossing
December 31 – January 1
Held by ritual, guided emails, and the awareness we've cultivated—you make the crossing on your own, consciously, witnessed by the sacred field.
The Gathering After Crossing
We reconvene on the other side. Share what emerged, witness each other, and bless our journeys.
You leave witnessed, blessed, and ready to move forward with devotional lucidity.
How This Sacred Space Will Hold You
Gentle, precise structure to help your energy move from scattered to centered—without overwhelm, with the current of your devotion quietly leading the way.
Five Live Ceremonies
Opening, Solstice, Conception, Manifestation, and Closing gatherings—each one designed to move you from "I feel everything" to "I can feel what this season is asking of my devotion." All recorded for replay.
Six Optional Evening Gatherings
Shorter nightly sessions (25-30 min) to meditate and read sacred texts together. No pressure—join live or watch the replay. These gatherings keep you tethered to the field between ceremonies.
Supportive Guidance Emails
So you don't have to hold this threshold on your own. Between our live gatherings, you'll receive emails that gently bring you back into the current of devotion—simple themes, reflections, and sacred awareness to carry you through.
The Devotional Inventory PDF
So you don't just think about your year—you see, on paper, where your energy has been flowing and where it's ready to return. A 10-question reflection for each month of 2025.
Andrea's Recorded Teachings
You'll receive two heartfelt recordings: one honoring the birth of the Christ Light and one nurturing the Divine Child within. These teachings serve as a tender anchor during the Sacred Pause—inviting reflection, softening, and a deeper relationship with what is truly holy.
Crossing Ritual & Guidance
So when the clock turns, you don't slip into old habits—you cross feeling anchored, witnessed, and lucid. My personal ritual plus guided support for your sovereign passage, with your devotion as the steady current beneath it all.
Place one hand on your heart.
Take one breath you did not rush.
This is how we begin.
Held by Two Generations of Devotional Practice
Mother and daughter. Psychology and spirit. A living thread of devotion holding you as you cross.
Shanti Lleone
Mystic Wayshower & Devotion Alchemist
Founder of The Living Mystery School of Devotion, Shanti has spent over two decades walking with mystics through sacred thresholds—channeling wisdom from the Light Council, helping clear what no longer serves, and teaching devotion as the creative life-force creating our lives.
This is the structure I longed for when I first learned to cross into the new year consciously. Now I offer it to you if you're ready to let devotion, not pressure, be the force that carries you forward.
"A union of wisdom and devotion — guiding the birth of the Christ Light within and tending it into living expression."
Andrea Bowes
Psychotherapist & Dream Alchemist
With decades of depth-work and clinical experience, Andrea brings grounded psychological wisdom into the sacred. As an initiate in Christian mystery traditions, her teachings open the inner altar and support the tender process of integrating spiritual awakening into lived, embodied life. Her work bridges the holy and the human—helping what is revealed become something you can truly live, not just understand.
In The Sacred Pause, her voice becomes steady ground—so as insight comes, grief releases, or new light rises, you have a place to land, soften, and let the experience become real.
Two Ways to Enter
Both paths include the full 13-day Sacred Pause passage. One also offers intimate guidance for the year ahead.
Your devotion has already been tugging at you. I'm simply opening the doorway so you can cross into the new year with the steadiness your soul has been asking for.
