Gentle January 2026: Special Guided Edition
A soft beginning. A steady start. A kinder way into the new year.
7 Guided Days of Gentleness: Starts 7th January 2026
January often arrives with a mix of quiet anticipation and pressure to “start strong”. But there is another way to begin the year, one rooted in calm, clarity and ease.
Gentle January is an invitation to step into the new year with softness and presence, creating space for what matters, without overwhelm. This year, you don’t have to do it alone and you are invited into a guided circle of companionship, calm and gentle accountability.
What is Gentle January?
A nourishing seven-day journey, designed to help you enter the new year feeling grounded, supported and connected.
Each day brings a moment to pause, and an invitation to lean into gentleness in your own way.
We have previously offered only a self-guided online course which will still be available to those who wish to choose this option. This year's brand new guided version offers a richer experience, blending community, support and live gatherings.

Why choose the guided version?
The self-guided course offers the core practices, but the guided version brings something more. It is ideal if you want to begin the year with:
-
intention rather than urgency
-
support instead of solitude
-
simple structure (not strict goals)
- a small community to share this space alongside you
And woven through it all is Mathilde’s grounded, honest and supportive presence. As a coach and peri/menopause wellbeing practitioner, she brings authenticity, humour and real-life experience to help you stay connected to your intention with compassion and ease. Meet Mathilde.
It’s a way to enter January with steadiness, softness and connection. It can be the trellis onto which you will lean to strengthen your posture this year.
A new way to begin the year
You will end the course with:
-
A more compassionate inner tone
-
A sense of connection as you begin the year
-
Simple grounding rituals you can build into everyday life
-
A calmer, clearer start to 2026
Tools to soften the edges when life becomes noisy
Gentle January isn’t about resolutions or reinvention.
It is an invitation to choose a softer way to start, one that is steady, kind and quietly transformative.
