Happy New Year!
What new goals and challenges have you set for the upcoming year? Whatever they may be, ensure they are realistic and give yourself the best chance to accomplish them. Whatever journey you are on, RHG offer a great range of supporting workshops and e-Learnings to help keep you on track. You’ll find them further down this page under our GROW Academy.
New Year’s resolutions are becoming less about depriving yourself of something and more about doing something that enhances your life. Maybe Veganuary is on your list, learning about how a vegan diet can still tick all the food groups needed for a balanced diet. Maybe you are vegan already but want to have a fresh look at what’s available and avoid the much hyped ultra processed foods, after all vegan foods can still fall under this umbrella too. There’s certainly lots of information and recipes available on the Veganuary website – Vegan Recipes | Plant-Based Recipes | Veganuary

Finally, here are some more observances and their meanings:
| Epiphany | 6th | In the Bible, the Epiphany is Jesus’ visit from the Magi, aristocratic men from the east (often referred to as kings or wise men) who followed a star to see the new born baby Jesus in Bethlehem. The Magi brought Jesus gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. Gold was considered a symbol of kings, frankincense a perfume representing divinity and myrrh an anointing and embalming oil that symbolized death. |
| Orthodox Christmas Day | 7th | Orthodox Christians in central and eastern Europe and other parts of the world celebrate Christmas on January 7, staying true to the Julian calendar, which was replaced by the Gregorian calendar in 1582 losing 11 days. |
| Pongal | 14th-17th | A Hindu festival, on this day, people worship cows and bulls, adorning them with colourful decorations. The festival is dedicated to the Sun God and celebrates the joy of a bountiful harvest with grandeur and enthusiasm. |
| Lunar New Year | 29th | The Lunar New Year in 2025 welcomes the Year of the Snake, according to the Chinese lunar calendar. Celebrated by millions around the world, this is a time for cultural traditions, family reunions, and hopes for good fortune in the coming year. |
