The Good News Edition(Feb 2026)

In an uplifting episode, we highlight and give thanks for a host of encouraging developments from the early weeks of this year, inviting listeners to share with us in holding an intention of gratitude and continued progress.

Suggested Intention Focus for this week

This week, as we contemplate the many positive stories to give thanks for so far this year, we suggest holding as our main intention:

We give thanks and open ourselves to the joy of sharing the experience of good news in the many stories that we’ve heard, and will for continued progress and the encouragement we all can all take when major challenges are faced with a resolve to honour the highest good.

Please join us in holding this.
