🌟 New Year’s Bravespace: Make 2026 Count!
​A Global 2-Hour Reflection Ritual to Close the Year with Clarity
​Sunday, December 21st - 11am PT | 2pm ET | 1pm CT
​
​✨ What is Make 2026 Count?
​Make 2026 Count is our sixth-annual end-of-year gathering. A cozy, contemplative, gently transformative 2-hour journaling experience where hundreds of like-minded journaling sojourners from around the world come together to reflect, reset, and realign before stepping into a new year.
​It’s simple, powerful, and beautifully human:
​🖊️ You bring a journal, a pen, and a warm drink.
​🕊️ We bring the prompts, the pacing, the atmosphere, and a global community doing the same work right alongside you.
​No pressure. No performance.
​Just depth, honesty, warmth, and a shared intention to enter 2026 with more clarity and less noise.
​
​🌍 Who is this for?
​You’ll feel right at home here if:
​You want to set intentions for 2026 before the year begins.
​You hold yourself to high standards but rarely pause to reflect.
​You love journaling… or want to love journaling (but struggle to begin).
​You’re craving clarity after a big, full, or unpredictable year.
​You want to sit in a room - even a virtual one - with thoughtful humans doing the same inner work.
​You enjoy events that are warm, grounded, and quietly profound.
​You appreciate a little lightness and community while doing deep work.
​Whether you keep your camera off and journal privately, or join the chat as your public diary:
​You belong here.
​
​📚 What to Expect
​In this 110-minute guided experience, you will:
​✨ Reflect on the defining truths, challenges, and breakthroughs of 2025
​✨ Access inner clarity through thoughtfully provocative questions
​✨ Vision into 2026 with intention rather than pressure
​✨ Tap into your body’s wisdom, not just your mind’s
​✨ Let go of what’s heavy, name what’s true, and honor what’s next
​We’ll speak very little, this space is for you.
​Think of us as your gentle timekeepers on this mental balcony overlooking your year.

​💛 A Bit of Backstory
​We’re Franzi and Ted - partners, parents, and longtime believers in intentional living.
​Every December, we retreat into a quiet pocket of time to reflect on our year and map out the next.
​In 2020, on a whim, we invited a few friends to join us on Zoom.
​To our surprise and delight hundreds showed up! And in the years since, thousands from 50+ countries have showed up to reflect on life and step forward into the new year more intentionally than they might have otherwise.
​This gathering has become one of our most cherished traditions - intimate, grounding, and surprisingly fun.
​
​🧠Join us on December 21st to Make 2026 Count.
​A gentle two-hour pause.
​A global room of good humans.
​A journal, a cup of something warm, and your own honest truth.
​We’d love to have you with us.
