Course Description

Closure & Clarity is a two-part online course designed to support individuals with finding closure and peace with 2025 and gaining clarity and confidence for 2026. This course is a recorded video workshop that you can take at your own pace.

Closure & Clarity is a balanced experience of guided reflections, meditations, and creative exercises that focus on personal and professional experiences and goals. We’ll take a compassionate and creative approach to look at the past, present, and future.

In part one of this workshop, you’ll be guided through a process of reflecting on 2025 to draw out important themes and lessons. We’ll look at your professional and personal accomplishments, highlights, and what worked in 2025. We’ll also compassionately explore challenges, losses, shortcomings, or what didn’t work during the year, and take steps to integrate lessons and experiences from the past year. We’ll let go of and release 2025 in a compassionate, nurturing, and sacred space.

In part two of Closure & Clarity, we’ll look forward to 2026 to explore your desires, needs, goals, and vision of your life. You’ll define your 2026 targets, priorities, and boundaries to clarify your goals in the new year, and determine how you’ll follow through on your goals through action and mindset. In part two, you’ll create a personalized and holistic self-care plan for 2026 that supports your vision of success, fulfillment, and well-being in 2026.

You’ll also get access to the Closure & Clarity Guide, a workbook you’ll complete during the workshop to give you a personalized self-care reference you can revisit throughout the new year to support your personal goals, professional endeavors, and continued growth.

Part one is now available and part two will be released on January 1, 2026. Upon enrollment, you’ll create a unique username and password to access The Self-Care Institute’s educational portal and you’ll have access to all course materials until March 1, 2026. You can go through this workshop at your own pace.

The process set me up to create achievable and compassionate goals and a self-care routine that feels comfortable and supportive to both my personal and professional life.

This workshop will happen in two parts:

Each part will take about 2.5 hours to complete, and you can take this at your own pace. You’ll have access to all course materials until March 1, 2026.

Is this a live workshop?

No, this is not a live workshop. Closure & Clarity is a self-paced virtual workshop that contains two pre-recorded videos that you can watch on your own time when it’s convenient for you. This gives you the flexibility to go through the workshop at a time that works best for you and at your own pace.

How long will I have access to the workshop?

You will have access to the workshop until March 1, 2026. This deadline is in place to help hold you accountable so that you’ll complete the workshop in the beginning of the year.

Can I earn continuing education credits?

What’s the workshop going to be like? What will we be doing?

Closure & Clarity is a well-balanced experience of guided reflections, meditations, and creative exercises to help you find closure with 2025 and gain clarity for 2026. We will take a compassionate and creative approach to look at the past, present, and future.

Ami will first guide you through a process of reflecting on 2025 to draw out important themes and lessons. We’ll look at your professional and personal accomplishments, highlights, and what worked in 2025. We’ll also look at what didn’t work during the year, and take steps to make peace with any shortcomings or challenges you experienced during the year.

Then, we’ll take a look forward to 2026 to see what kind of year you want this to be, what you want to experience this year, and what you want your life to look like. We’ll be creating your 2026 targets, priorities, and boundaries to create clarity around what you want to aim for and how you want to follow through on your goals.

You’ll also get access to the Closure & Clarity Guide that you can print out and bring to the workshop with you. This will help you follow along and keep your thoughts organized so that you have something tangible to take with you and revisit during the year.

Who is this workshop for?

All are welcome.

Will we be covering self-care topics?

Yes. This workshop itself is a huge act of self-care. Think of it as pausing to take a deep breath as your life transitions from 2025 to 2026. Taking the time and energy to honor your life this way is a sacred form of self-care, and is especially meaningful at the end and beginning of a year. We will also be practicing specific self-care strategies you can use throughout the new year.

Testimonials From Past Participants

This course was the perfect way to end the outgoing year and welcome the incoming one. I was more intentional than ever before in reflecting on the past 12 months, and using those reflections to create my plan and goals for the new year.

I would take this course again in a heartbeat. The reflections of the last year and visioning of the new year have been incredible and helped me develop a clear self-care routine to better serve myself and my clients. I have clear goals I am ready to work on and have never felt more inspired professionally.

This was one of the best CMTE courses I have ever taken!

Ami’s calm and encouraging voice kept me focused and grounded as I completed the exercises, and I have revisited my workbook multiple times since to bring me back to my personal and professional intentions. Thank you so much for creating this course — it will become a year-end tradition for me!

Being able to reflect on the previous year has given me more hope and a bigger drive to continue to invest in myself and in bettering the lives of others

The process set me up to create achievable and compassionate goals and a self-care routine that feels comfortable and supportive to both my personal and professional life.

This course was life-changing for me. Thank you for making such a meaningful course that will (and already has!) impact my personal and professional life moving forward this year.

I truly enjoyed this course. It helped me feel refreshed to start a new year and leave the past year behind me.

Closure and Clarity came at just the right time. I needed an official way to acknowledge my struggles and progress in the past and set an intention and plan for the next year. Ami’s course helped me do that as well as practice deep self-care during the process.

I truly am so grateful for this workshop. It was transformative for me. I have already noticed differences in my life. Thank you for helping me make time for me and for modeling compassion and gifting us with tools to accomplish self-compassion and practical goal setting.

I really enjoyed the course and I’m so glad that it provided an opportunity for me to sit down and reflect upon my goals for the new year. Very appropriate timing and useful subject matter. The meditations in the course were very helpful for getting in touch with my emotions regarding the past, present, and future.

This course is very thoughtful, calming, and supportive.

Excellent, excellent course! Very valuable information presented in an extremely user-friendly format allowing time for self-reflection.

Easily one of the best continuing education courses I’ve taken.

Ami continues to impress me with the meaningful material and expertise that she provides in this area. I feel so cared for and seen. I’ve done this workshop twice now and believe it is truly invaluable.

Each section presented was incredibly useful to my personal and work life, and I’m so glad I got to spend quality time to evaluate the past year and envision my future.

This allowed me the time and space to reflect and build goals (both professional and personal) that I can take with me as a guidepost for the new year. Especially as someone who had a difficult year, it was very helpful to have a safe space to reflect and set intentions for the upcoming year.

The Closure and Clarity workshop gave me a glance at my past year and helped me identify where I had become stronger and wiser. The new year has begun and I have powerful tools in place for directing my steps and the knowledge that I can call for help on the way.
