The September edition of This Is That List began with a personal restoration and writing retreat at Falkenberg Strandbad.
I expected a beautiful room, time near the sea, and enough quiet to write.
Then I experienced the Ivory Ritual.
For 90 minutes, our hosts guided us through seven self performed rituals. They explained what we were using, why we were using it, and how to perform each treatment.
Footbath.
Ice scrub.
Aroma sauna.
Facial mask.
Hammam.
Clay wrap.
Tropical breeze.
No one put hands on me.
I was not passive.
I was present.
I left with more than a relaxed body and beautifully treated skin. I left with knowledge I could carry home.
That became the One Shift for this issue:
Learn the ritual.
Do not simply receive the treatment.
Inside the September edition, you will find:
• My firsthand Ivory Ritual reflection
• The September Editor’s Note
• A new Calm Places feature from Falkenberg Strandbad
• The Rooted Reason this experience mattered
• Yoga Games and practical resources for your next reset
This Is That List exists because calm has to be practical enough to carry home.
