Deep Dive into Day 3: Promise (January 1st) Theme : Setting Intentions for Renewal and Alignment Day 3 of the four-day journey, Promise , represents the turning point from reflection and release to renewal and intentionality. This day focuses on setting clear, purposeful intentions for the future, grounded in the wisdom gained from discernment (Day 1) and the release of past burdens through absolution (Day 2).

Deep Dive into Day 1: Discernment (December 30th) Theme : Reflection on the Past and Awareness of Higher Realities Day 1 of the four-day journey, Discernment , sets the stage for grounding the journey in reflection, mindfulness, and self-awareness. It is a day to focus on understanding our place within a larger framework—whether we consider this framework to be a simulated reality, a divinely ordained system, or an interdependent web of natural and metaphysical principles.

This reflection connects directly to the broader covenant and the Dapa concept as a universal root, anchoring our awareness of fundamental rights and the possibility of a higher external reality.

Dapa day, January 2nd, stylized as 'dapada', is a day meant to celebrate ourselves, each other, our cultures, and our communities from our households to beyond the visible universe.  We celebrate ourselves by meditating kindly on ourselves, acknowledging and learning from our quiet moments, our failures, and our successes.  We celebrate each other by meditating on relationships with friends and family and committing to make those relationships as good as we can.  We celebrate our cultures by meditating on our customs, our holidays, and our history. We celebrate our communities in kind -- our kin, our clubs, our neighborhoods, villages, towns, cities, provinces, states, countries, and collectives of all kinds.  We graciously give and graciously receive.  We express gratitude. We commit to lift the world up in the new year ahead.
