Awakening Awe

Change your perspective in three weeks—experience more wonder, ease, and joy

January 2026

Awe—experiencing something vast and mysterious that transcends your understanding of the world—feeds your wellbeing and elongates your life.

Awe quiets rumination, worry, and self-criticism and strengthens perspective and connection.

Awe feels good, and it can be experienced in small, everyday ways.

my Awakening Awe class helps you…

Feel connected to something bigger than yourself.

Here’s how Awakening Awe works…

For three weeks, you receive a daily email message, which includes helpful and doable awe practices.
The format varies —photographs, videos, meditations, journal prompts, or reflective practices—so the material feels fresh and you feel motivated.
The class explores awe in different arenas—nature, people, art, movement, music—so the exercises have lasting positive impact.
The ideas are not cumulative, so when life interrupts you can easily begin again.
Unlike the news, Awakening Awe is the magic and wonder channel, so your nervous system settles and you remember what’s good.
You get free entry into January Refuge Space, so you ground yourself and explore these practices.
Because the class lasts three weeks, you establish the mindfulness practice you’ve always wanted.

Awakening Awe includes Refuge Space, January 15, 7-8p Central Time

Refuge Space is a live session with guided meditation, reflection, and writing (we’ll explore awe live!).

“Besides having dedicated ‘me’ time in Refuge Space, I love the combination of meditation and writing. It’s a powerful mix that allows me to be present and write down what’s in my heart. In doing so, I connect ideas, go deeper, and embody what’s coming up from Joy’s prompts in a way I wouldn’t otherwise.”

Hi! My name is Joy. As a mindfulness teacher, I help people who struggle with anxiety, exhaustion, and busyness to slow down and savor life.

I’ve been learning about (and cultivating!) awe in my own life. It’s made a big difference.

I’m excited to bring awe practice to you! When in awe, your problems fade away. You feel small yet not insignificant—you’re part of something bigger and more beautiful.

“Joy’s teaching is authentic, joyful, and accessible for all levels of practitioners. She brings a sense of wonder and wisdom to daily life and provides practical, easy tips for everyday mindfulness. If you’re even a tiny bit curious about mindfulness, take a class with Joy. You’ll be grateful.”

FAQ

You only need one hour a week. The awe practices are done in short, regular ways. They’re doable in busy daily life.
If you have more time, it’s easy to extend the practices.
I record each Refuge Space, so you can watch and experience the practices at a different time. If you want to join live, I’ll move your registration to the next month’s Refuge Space—just let me know!
