Last month, we focused on feeling what’s real—allowing emotions to be present instead of avoided or rushed past. This month, we continue building on that awareness by moving into how we express what’s real. We’re revisiting High-Way 5: Honest Communication. This is not new content—it’s a continued practice of bringing awareness into real-life conversations, especially when emotions are present. This month’s reminders include: • Using “I-language” and asking for what we want clearly and directly • Noticing and navigating unsolicited advice, defensiveness, and difficult reactions • Turning off triangulation and staying in direct communication • Staying grounded when responding to family, friends, and co-workers Because honest communication isn’t just something we understand—it’s something we practice in the moments it matters most. And each time we pause, notice, and choose differently, we strengthen both connection and self-trust within our IDW lifestyle. This will be a reflective space with real-life application and shared awareness. Bring your IDW Journal and your One Word if you’d like. 🗓 Tuesday, May 12 ⏰ 8:00 PM Central

Last month, we looked at what’s in our control—and what’s not -and invited you to practice taking ownership through Full Responsibility. And if you noticed…that awareness often brings something with it: feelings. This month, we’re making space for that part of the process. 🌿Not to fix it. 🌿Not to rush past it. 🌿But to actually be with it. We’ll explore what it looks like to feel what’s real as it comes up…and to respond with honesty—first with ourselves, and then, when we’re ready, with others. Because real self-love and real connection aren’t built by avoiding what we feel—they’re built by being present with it. Before we gather, take a few quiet moments to reflect. Notice what’s been coming up for you this month. You might journal, sit in stillness, or simply check in with yourself—no pressure to “figure it out,” just to notice. Then come as you are and join the conversation! 🗓 Tuesday, April 14th ⏰ 8:00 PM Central

High-Ways: Risk & Full Responsibility In January, we set intentions and named a One Word to guide the year ahead. This month, we’ll build on that conversation by exploring a powerful question: What’s in my control — and what’s not? Using the High-Ways of Risk and Full Responsibility, we’ll reflect together on where we’re being invited to: - Let go of what we can’t control - Take responsibility for what we can - Choose awareness, honesty, and courage — one small step at a time This Freedom Circle is a reflective space with time for journaling and optional sharing. You may want to bring your IDW Journal and your January One Word. 🗓 Date: Tuesday, March 10 ⏰ Time: 8:00 PM Central Looking forward to continuing the conversation together 💚
