A Special Message for the 2026 Edition
How the Guidebook Evolved
I’ve been doing my own version of this process for about 10 years, and each year, I notice the power of writing down my intentions and then putting plans and steps in place to carry them through. I find the ‘future writing’ process particularly powerful. That act of writing is like laying down a seed, and the regular check-ins and small intentional actions which follow, help to germinate that seed. Some flourish within the year, others take several years to grow, but grow they do, step by simple step, consistently and with care.
The Intentional Year Process is my way of sharing what has supported me, hoping it will serve your own flourishing.
Clare Mulvany.

The Honesty Box Economy
One of the things I love about living in West Cork is the abundance of honesty boxes. People grow their own vegetables, then leave them in little shelters by the roadside, with a box beside them, trusting that a payment will be made in exchange for the home-grown produce. There is no guarantee that this will always be honoured, but it is an invitation to trust. I have been offering the guidebook this way since the first edition and have decided to offer the guidebook again this year on the same principle. This includes the kick-off workshop on Jan 13th.
I have been asked why I continue to offer The Guidebook this way. Mostly, I want people to have access to these coaching and mentoring tools, but I also need a way to sustain, grow and develop my own work. I also want to offer a way for people who may not be able to afford my one-to-one mentoring or workshops, a lower cost option, with the guidebook and on-going creative tools over on The Wild Edge Substack (where in 2026 I will be continuing to focus a lot of my energy) .
So this my invitation to you to make a contribution to honour the time, skill and experience I have put into creating this- my version of home-grown produce, while also honouring the time and energy you give to it and your own current financial situation. The honesty box is experiment in trust, reciprocity, generosity and relationship. When you invest, you will also be investing your energy, and your investment helps me to continue to develop my work, making it available and accessible to others. The materials I share have been refined and tested, and come from my own personal practice. All artwork, illustrations and design are my own, updated for the 2026 edition.
If you are unsure about what to offer, think of what you would pay for the equivalent of a yoga workshop, or a self-led home day retreat. If you are low on money at the moment, then offer a lower amount, taking into account that your payment includes the kick-off workshop. If money is not such a challenge for you right now, then perhaps offer a little more. If you’d like to share the guidebook with others, please direct them to this payment page, asking them to make their own contribution and download directly.

FAQs
-
I recommend doing the workbook over a few evenings, and having a pause between the reviewing section and the sensing section. Some people tell me they create a weekend retreat for themselves, and do the exercises over the course of a few days. Most however spread it over a couple of weeks (which I what I do), completing the review section before the turn of the year and doing the planning in the new year. Most of the audio introductions are 5 minutes, and the longest visualisation is 25 minutes.
