​

At Sanctuary by the Sea, we believe in the power of love and care to transform lives. This holiday season, let’s celebrate the little moments that make life beautiful — a kind word, a shared laugh, the warmth of a hug, or simply the joy of knowing someone is thinking of you.

Hello, dear Reader,

As the longest night of the year approaches, I find myself reflecting on the magic of this season—a time for deep rest, gentle introspection, and the quiet promise of renewal. The winter solstice reminds us to pause, listen, and honor both the darkness and the light in our lives.

​

In the spirit of this sacred time, I’m delighted to share two things that feel very close to my heart: the latest episode of The Nourish Collective Podcast and some exciting updates from Sanctuary by the Sea, my wellness center here on the New Jersey shore.

​

This podcast episode is particularly special—a soulful conversation with Gabriela Gutierrez that explores ancient wisdom, ritual practices, and the power of listening to the natural world. Gabriela’s insights are the perfect companions for these still and quiet solstice days.

​

And while January marks our grand opening at Sanctuary by the Sea, we’re already opening our doors with select classes and end-of-year specials. These offerings are my way of inviting you to begin 2024 with nourishment and intention.

​

As always, thank you for being part of this beautiful community. Your presence here inspires me to keep creating spaces and conversations that uplift, heal, and connect.

​

🌟 New Podcast Episode: Listening, Rituals, and Ancient Wisdom

This week on the Nourish Collective Podcast, I’m honored to share my conversation with the incredible Gabriela Gutiérrez. We explore listening to the natural world, the wisdom of bees, and a beautiful solstice ritual to help you seed your dreams for the year ahead.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• A transformative three-day solstice ritual
• The role of bees in ancient traditions and their connection to women’s wisdom
• Practical ways to reconnect through poetry, walks, and quietude

It’s a heartfelt exchange filled with inspiration and grounding practices to take into the season.

🌙 Winter Solstice Ritual

The solstice is a powerful time of endings and new beginnings. Here’s a simple ritual to honor the season:

What You’ll Need: A candle, paper, and a quiet space.

1. Night of the Solstice (December 21st): Write down your prayers and intentions for the new cycle. What do you wish to release? What do you hope to invite?
2. Speak and Burn: Read your intentions aloud, then burn the paper safely as an offering to the darkness.
3. Over the Next Three Days: Spend time in reflection, journaling, or quiet meditation.
4. Dawn of the 24th: Plant a seed (literal or symbolic) in the earth, marking the return of the light.
   ​

This ritual is a beautiful way to honor the sacred cycles of nature and align yourself with the rhythms of renewal.

🥣 Recipe: Warming Winter Kitchari

A perfect dish for grounding and nourishing during the colder months:

Ingredients:

• 1 cup split mung dal (or red lentils)
• ½ cup basmati rice
• 2 tsp ghee or coconut oil

✨ A Blessing for Winter

“May the quiet of the season guide you inward.
May the darkness hold your dreams with care.
May the returning light bring clarity and renewal.
And may you find strength in the stillness.”

We’re so excited to walk this winter wellness path with you. Whether it’s through the podcast, a class, or just stopping by, Sanctuary by the Sea is here to support your journey.

Wishing you warmth, health, and magic this season.

With love,

Dear Reader,

​

How are you, beautiful?

​

This Friday the 13th, under the Cold Full Moon, we’re invited to pause and embrace the powerful energy of this time. As the year winds down, this final full moon of 2024 invites us to slow down, reflect on all that has passed, and set intentions for how we want to move forward.

​

Opening Sanctuary by the Sea has been a profound labor of love. Yesterday, I went to the doctor for my annual wellness check. My blood work came back perfect, and I feel so grateful. But to my surprise, my blood pressure was high—140/80. For someone who usually runs low, it was unexpected.

​

I joked with the nurse about my coffee, and he laughed, saying, “It must be the caffeine.” I replied, “No, it’s opening the wellness center.” “How ironic,” he said. We both laughed, but it reminded me how the busyness we all carry needs to come to a pause.

​

As the year draws to a close, I want to take a step toward a healthier, more mindful new year. If you feel the same way, join me in finding balance this December with our Unlimited Yoga Special!

​

For the next 3 days only, unlock these amazing benefits for the rest of 2024 and all of 2025:

✨ Unlimited Yoga Therapy Classes with me, Jeanette. See the schedule here.

✨ One 35 minute Infrared Sauna Session Per Month

✨ Initial Personalized Ayurvedic Assessment to support your journey

✨ 20% discount on IV Therapy!

​

Let’s step into 2025 more centered and balanced than ever.

​

With love and warmth,

Jeanette

Yoga vs. Yoga Therapy

​

Curious about the difference? While yoga supports general wellness, Yoga Therapy offers tailored practices for specific health concerns. It blends ancient wisdom with modern science to meet your unique needs. It used a whole person approach to well being and focuses on health span. With movement, breath, sound, mindful awareness and community we create room for transformation. Certified Yoga Therapists (C-IAYT) have over 1000 hours of education in the science of Yoga and accesses the wisdom in this ancient tradition to bring empower individuals towards deep healing. I am a Yoga Therapist. All of my classes are intentionally kept to just 6-8 people. Each participant receives a thorough initial assessment and quarterly wellness checks for individualized, therapeutic care. Classes are offered in person and virtually!
