Beloved HMY Community,

I first want to express my deep gratitude for you all. This community helped cultivate such sacred connection, healing, love, growth, fun, transformation and laughter. Thank you for trusting me to host and hold space for you at this healing event. One of my biggest intentions was to create a safe space, that you could pause in the beauty around you to come back to your home within. To be able to come back to your truest self and feel connected again. So you could move forward stronger and from a place of love. This is something I was blessed to witness many times, year after year. I pray that you received what you needed at that time in your life.

I’m endlessly thankful for the really special community, talented loving teachers and musicians, and the volunteers over the 5 HMY festivals ! I also want to thank and acknowledge my family. They witnessed this idea manifest and grow over the last 8 years. They showed up day after day with love, support and fresh perspective to always keep me moving forward. They were there every step along the way, often times behind the scenes. My family not only graciously opened up our little slice of heaven to share with others, but they deeply cared for the event and all who were apart of it. They made sure everyone felt welcomed, cared for, and at home while staying at our farm. They really poured their love and energy to help create this event over the years, and it shows. I am forever grateful for their perpetual support over the years, HMY would not have become what it was without them.

This is all so bittersweet, as HMY and all its legacy is coming to an end, I am comforted by knowing that the memories, friendships & connections made will live on forever. HMY will always be in my heart and soul. I remain a dreamer, continuously inspired, following the direction of curiosity, joy, love, and simplicity.

My heart is being called to something else currently. I’m not quite sure all the answers right now, but I do know it is time to surrender to the mystery of life. As this door closes, I know another will surely open. Until then, you can find me contently living and enjoying life, all of it.

I send you each a hug, and deep gratitude. I hope you continue to follow the glimmers of all that brings you joy and happiness in this life.

Many blessings and much love,
Jenn

It is with a heavy heart that I post this today... The HMY Festival will not be happening this year. Due to unforeseen personal life circumstances I have decided to not host the HMY Festival. This decision was a very hard choice for me, and still feels very bittersweet. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Although this decision was incredibly tough, I know in my heart it is the right choice. Choosing myself does not come easy or naturally for me. Neither does slowing down. Life has granted me some major lessons this year, helping me to slow down and prioritize family. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I am hopeful that taking this year off will help rejuvenate me right down to my soul. Then hopefully, I'll be able to come back next year to hold so much space and love for the HMY community. I will keep you all posted when I know in my heart that it is right. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sending you all love, blessings, and permission to chose yourself.

I saw this quote the other day… “Die with memories not dreams”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As someone who dreams around the clock it struck something in me. While I don’t let my dreaming interrupt making memories it may sometimes disrupt my enjoying of the present moment… After pondering this, it re-established deep gratitude for all the little moments. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I hope you also find joy in all the little moments.
