"Planting words, like seeds, under rocks and fallen logs--letting language take root, once again, in the earthen silence of shadow and bone and leaf." (Abram, 1997, p.273)

Winter (Jan–Mar): Familial Ancestors. As we immerse ourselves in hibernation, this season invites us to listen inwardly and reconnect with our roots, our personal ancestral lineage, and the stories that shape us. We will be embracing the embedded networks of kinship that run through our DNA, exploring our memories and imaginations, getting to know our underlying narratives.
Theme: Remembering and Reconnecting Focus: Our personal ancestors, learning about presence, setting intention, divining a plan for the year. Spring (Apr–Jun): Tribal/Natural Ancestors. With spring comes renewal. This is the season to turn toward the living world — to attune to the ancestral knowledge carried by land, plants, and other-than-human kin. We’ll explore how we might nurture new life within ourselves, each other and in our relationships with the more-than-human world. Theme: Growth and Reciprocity Focus: Land, ecology, belonging, the wisdom of the natural world, home. Summer (Jul–Sep): The Elemental Ancestors. In the heat of summer, energy rises and transformation calls. This is the time to explore the basic elements of fire, water, air, and earth as ancient teachers and mirrors of our own internal states. Through creative practice we’ll explore how the elements shape us and how they can restore balance and vitality. Theme: Transformation and Integration Focus: The elements as ancestors, alchemical resources, magic solutions. Autumn (Oct–Dec): Our Future Ancestors. As the year turns and we move toward winter again, this season invites reflection, harvesting, and imagining forward. We’ll explore what it means to become a future ancestor — how to write, create, and live without falling into polarisation, and how to weave pathways toward possible futures in presence with clarity, not fearing the darkness, loss or grief of a world in change. Theme: Vision and Continuity Focus: Legacy, futurity, creative and ecological responsibility, embodied hope. |

The meditations were magical – not a hyperbole but an actual experience. They helped shift/birth something vital in my being that I can’t quite put into words." Prerna, 2026
