Jane's 90-Day Decluttering Challenge!
Thirteen weeks to a simpler, more joyful life
Clutter abounds! Visible or hidden, it keeps us stuck in the past and robs us of our peace of mind.
We bring to you Jane's 90-Day Decluttering Challenge!
Join us for this 13-week challenge in which we’ll work together to clear out clutter in our lives, providing space for more life-giving possibilities to emerge. We will provide you with some basic materials at the outset and provide on-going support with regular check-in sessions, and other opportunties. Most of the value will come from the simple commitment you make to yourself to develop an on-going habit of performing 10 minutes of decluttering a day, as well as being part of a community of peers providing both inspiration and accountability along the way.
