As the sun ascends high in the sky, casting its golden rays upon the vibrant weaving of nature, we find ourselves immersed in the warm embrace of summer. A season of boundless energy, summer ignites the very essence of life, breathing vitality into every living creature and painting the world with a kaleidoscope of colors and scents. It is a time of abundance and renewal, where the Earth's pulse quickens, mirroring the rhythms of our own hearts.
We are nature. Our bodies feel the seasons shift and when we pay attention we see how we are a part of the process. Our ancestors knew how to shift as the seasons shift, their days were dependent on what was happening in the natural world. We know how to move in rhythm with the earth, we just have to remember.
“Summer is the time to give our self completely, to allow the abundance of the soul to become part of our everyday life. We have to taste life fully. This season will not last forever, even if it can connect us to what is eternal.”
Llewelyn Vaughan-Lee, Seasons of the Sacred
We turn to Summer as our guide as we move through these months inviting ourselves to pay attention. With each of our senses we stay alert to the changes, shifts, actions of the season and how that affects our minds, bodies, and souls. Each week I’ll send an email filled with invitations, poems, journal prompts, recipes, plant profiles, etc. The resources and invitations are created with the intention to help us wake up to life flourishing. To notice what’s happening all around us in the natural world and what’s happening within.
