Just wanted to let everyone know that we have added a New Sidebar Feature: 365 Days of Drawing Meditation, just below the “Add Riverwalker to your phone” feature.
We thought we would share the drawings Jan has made so far to meet her 2026 New Year Challenge of drawing one drawing a day, with a wooden stick, in small scratchboard pads. Originally, we gave the scratchboard pads as Halloween treats and Jan soon began drawing in the leftovers. She loved it and has not stopped since! In fact, most of the drawings she has now been doing to illustrate our posts are done on the same scratchboard pads. Her New Year’s intention is to keep drawing, one a day, while meditating. So check back often to see how it’s going!
As 2025 comes to an end and the New Year begins, we would like to thank everyone who has traveled with us, those who are new to our work and those who have followed our work for a long time. We are full of gratitude for the journey we have all taken together.
Some of you have accompanied us from the very beginning, when we first created and launched our website, and others have found your way to us through word of mouth or happenstance. Riverwalker Press has been around now for twenty years! Wow!
It is always our pleasure to share what we learn about life, to make some small but hopefully meaningful contributions as we figure out the worlds we inhabit, our mysterious inner world and our equally mysterious outer world as well.
As we step into 2026, we bring you a new offering. Our Soulbytes will be published every day of the week, including Saturdays and Sundays, so there will be no interruptions in guidance from the Universe. The Universe is always ready to communicate. So are we!
As we all pull back into the quietude of the season, we wish everyone a calm and peaceful holiday season, ringed round with joy and permeated with love. May the New Year bring the gift of good fortune and good will to everyone, at home and around the world, in all worlds.
We have been experiencing issues with our host server. Sorry for any inconveniences this has caused in getting onto our website. We are working to remedy the situation.
New channeling blog starting on March 1, 2025, brought to you by Jan and her spiritual guide, Jeanne. The intention is to follow the heart when it is called to speak. At this time there is no regular schedule planned but that could change over time.
We wish everyone, and our entire world, a happy Solstice, a beautiful and peaceful Holiday Season and a most prosperous New Year. May we all carry the light of gratitude and love within us as we enter into the season of joy and giving, festivities and celebration, and renewal. And may we all walk into the New Year full of hope and promise each day, still carrying that light within, eager and grateful to embrace new life to come. We share some calming practices below and will return to our normal weekly postings on Monday January 6, 2025.
Sending you love,
Jan & Chuck
MEDITATIONS For Setting Intentions
Wake up to each new day (or any time) to an enlivening meditation with Dr. Joe Dispenza.
Virtually walk around Jan’s Quartz Crystal Labyrinth in the woods on our property. Turn the volume up so you can hear nature in all its glory, in summer, the cicadas and crickets and in winter the crackling of leaves.
Note: If you want to watch the videos on your phone you will have to get the Dropbox App. Once you sign in just skip through all the prompts and then come back to this page and click the link and it should open in Dropbox. If you watch on a computer or tablet it should open immediately in Dropbox.
MUSIC For Peace and Healing
Listen to some Tibetan Chanting, Healing Handpan music or a medley of meditation music from the Monroe Institute.
