The Year Ahead, 2026 is a limited, in-person January gathering held at Soul Therapy Studios to intentionally begin the year through authorship, attention, and care.

This gathering brings together nine participants to create and bind their personal 2026 volume. The binding process takes approximately three to four hours and requires sustained focus. It is not taught as a transferable craft. It is the threshold moment where intention becomes something physical and lived with throughout the year.

Each book is part of a numbered edition, Volume I through Volume X, assigned by order of confirmation. There will never be another set produced in this form. Nine volumes are released to participants. One volume is held by the studio as part of its permanent archive.

The gathering takes place on Saturday February 7, 2026, from 12:30–4:30 PM and is hosted as a full afternoon of care. Food and wine are shared, and each participant leaves with a curated care package for the year ahead. All materials required for the binding are provided.

Alongside the personal volumes, the studio initiates its single archival record for 2026. After each Soul Therapy gathering throughout the year, the quality of attention practiced is documented in this studio volume. This archive lives in the studio as a record of the work over time.

Participation is intentionally limited. This offering is shared first with founding members before any wider invitation.
