Calendar of Seasons

A Cycle of Days, Moons and Trees

We enter into ritual for many reasons. Sometimes these are celebrations that mark particular passages of time or important occasions in our lives. Sometimes we seek guidance, solace or transformation.

Ritual lets us take a break from our everyday lives and pause on the path of our journey. It gives us time to look at the world from a different view and to see things that we may otherwise miss in our daily rushing about. Ritual helps us affirm what we believe and to confirm that our lives are moving in the right direction.

When we enter in to ritual, we strengthen our connection with the natural world and come into balance with its rhythms as well as our own. When we balance our inner and outer lives, the world seems to become a wider and more beautiful place. Over time, we are transformed.

Take time, every day if even for a few minutes, to touch base with yourself. Consider what you are feeling and thinking. Take stock of what is happening in the larger world and the natural world. Acknowledge the seasons and note where in the cycles of earth, sun and moon you stand. When you've done this, go back inside yourself and relate these things on a personal level. Feel yourself as part of this vast, magical world.
