Time Between Time

A Twelve-Day Journey of Clarity, Integration, and Readiness

Time Between Time Book Cover

Explore a quiet, non-performative way to meet the New Year—without rituals, resolutions, or reinvention.

There is a brief period at the end of the year that does not fully belong to what has been, or to what is coming next.
 Historically, it has been known as the Time Between Time.
This guide approaches those twelve days not as ritual or performance, but as orientation. It’s a way to locate yourself honestly before asking anything to change.

Why the Twelve Days Matter

The twelve days between December 25 and January 5 have long been understood as a pause between cycles. A time outside ordinary momentum, where the old year loosens and the new one has not yet taken hold.

Historically, this period wasn’t meant to be filled.

It was meant to be held.

Before resolutions, before intentions, before direction — there was space.

A moment to observe what had ended, what was unfinished, and what no longer fit the life being lived.

Over time, this liminal window became crowded with meaning, instruction, and expectation. What was once a quiet threshold turned into a ritualized performance of change.

This guide returns the Twelve Days to their original function: not as a checklist, but as a container. Each day offers a distinct quality of attention. Not to dictate action, but to support clarity. 
Together, they form a gentle progression from orientation to readiness, allowing insight to emerge before effort is required.

The Twelve Days matter because meaningful change does not begin with movement.

It begins with awareness. And awareness needs time.

Featured Excerpt

Day One: Orientation

“Before values can be clarified, goals adjusted, or direction refined, something more fundamental is required: an honest encounter with who you are standing as right now.

This first day is not about reinvention. It is about orientation.

Before anything can change sustainably, you must locate yourself honestly. Not who you present as. Not who you’ve been managing yourself to be. But who you have become through what this year, and the years before it, required of you.

Day One establishes the internal reference point for everything that follows.
Without it, change becomes performative.
With it, change becomes coherent.”

Day One sets the coordinate.
The remaining days build from there.

Who This Is For
