Why Seasonal Living?
Seasonal living is the art of paying attention to the seasons and aligning our lifestyle and self-care practices to their rhythm.
In our 21st century culture, living with awareness of the seasons is no longer a given, but something we have to choose to pay attention to. Our lives are increasingly detached from nature, governed by the placelessness of the internet, coupled with a fast-paced, productivity-focused culture.
Despite our lack of attention, seasonal shifts and the rhythms of the natural world shape our health and well-being. As the plants surge to life in spring and summer, so do we. As they return to rest and stillness in winter, so do we. The ancient healing traditions all agreed that living out-of-alignment with these natural rhythms was a guaranteed way to bring about imbalance and disease.

Seasonal Living is a powerful way for us to reclaim a relationship with ourselves and the world around us. It reminds us that we aren't separate to, but an integral part of nature.

I want to learn from you
The lovely thing about learning as a community is our capacity to learn from each other.
I pay attention to the seasons as they pass around me, but what about you?
What are you anchors or indicators that the seasons are changing?
Do you notice anything with the birds or animals?
Do you notice feeling different in your body?
I'd love to hear your experiences and observations of seasonal living.
