Here’s how october invitation works…
During the month of October, messages are delivered to your inbox, so you begin each day with intention.
The format varies —photograph, poem, meditation, journal prompt, or reflective practice—so the material feels fresh and you feel motivated.
The ideas are not cumulative, so when life interrupts you can easily begin again.
Unlike the news, Invitation is a calming channel, so your nervous system settles and you remember what’s good.
Each email includes a small, accessible theme, so you can integrate mindfulness into daily life.
You get free entry into October Refuge Space, so you can restore and ground, and explore these practices.
Invitation includes Refuge Space, October 18, 7-8p Central Time
Refuge Space is a live session with guided meditation, reflection, and writing (find a balance of effort and ease).
“Joy’s thoughtful blending of poetry, journaling, and meditation stayed with me throughout the day. I was eager to check my email for the next bit of wisdom. October Invitation is good for the soul!

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.
There’s back-to-school energy and stunning beauty in autumn yet it moves quickly. You need reminders to slow down.
October Invitation provides space and reflection through bite-sized nuggets of wisdom. These are low-commitment yet high-impact practices to ground and calm your spirit.
“Thanks for 31 days of wonderful messages! I loved reading Joy’s emails each day. I shared the insights she included with family and friends and in my yoga classes. Joy is truly an inspiration!”
