Each Chinese year is associated with one of 12 animals and one of five elements—a combination that repeats only once every 60 years.

In 2026, we welcome the return of the Fire Horse (丙午年) —a powerful and dynamic energy.

So, what does the Fire Horse bring?

It doesn't create what isn’t already there—it intensifies what is alive within us.

This is a year to:

🔥 Cultivate inner grounding, so you don’t feel destabilized by the heat  

🔥 Embody self-awareness, so the fire becomes focused propulsion—not burnout

#Why and #How?

Curious to learn more?

How can I, as coach can support my clients (and myself) this year?

I believe that cultivating hope for the planet begins with cultivating hope at a deeply personal level.”

Our hope can spark from something outside, but it is generated from something inside

That is what I am doing through my coaching, rooted in awareness and somatic practice within nature. I support clients to create a safe container where they can explore and stay with what is present…….After sharing despair and the flow of feelings, I invite them to pause, take a breath, and explore gratitude.

I was reading an article, and one sentence captured my attention for several days. Perhaps this is because, living in China, the idea of energy is quite familiar and often used in our daily language and life:

“Nature emits a nourishing energy—a momentary suspension of stress, worries, and internal conflict.”

— Michel Le Van Quyen*

The “nourishing energy” mentioned here is actually present in that quiet shift that happens the moment we step outside— …..

Autumn offers us an opportunity to practice active listening.  It s about being fully present in the moment , paying attention to what is being communicated verbally, somatically and beneath the surface.

As coach , the active listening is a key competency to apply. It’s not just hearing the rustle of leaves, but feeling what it evokes within us. It’s the hum of the wind and the softness of the light fading early in the day—it all carries meaning.

Inspired by the teachings in the book “ZEN: THE ART OF SAVING THE PLANE”T by Thich Nhat Hanh, following what I am reading and hearing about  sustainability, regeneration,eco grief , and the new approaches to build up a healthy life and Planet , I made a few reflections on what I take away from the book

“The way out is in.”

Not in the next solution, but in the next breath.

Not in the control, but in the compassion

self care is the quiet act of listening inward. The deep breath you take before reacting. The gentle voice that says, “You’re allowed to rest.”

It’s not about escaping life—it’s about showing up for it with more presence, patience, and peace.
