When you start to think about it, the “four seasons” we all learned in preschool probably don’t really match the cycle of the natural world where you live. And having them as a default framework can keep us from observing what’s actually happening around us. 

We’ll spend some time contemplating our current season, reflecting on the natural and personal events that characterize this time in your life where you live. We’ll share our observations with each other (one of my favorite parts), and we’ll go home with fresh ideas on how to celebrate and fully live into this season.  

You may wish to register in advance in order to download and print the worksheet we’ll be using. If this isn’t possible, don’t worry! But please do bring a blank sheet of paper or two. All participants will benefit from having a pencil and eraser, along with their favorite writing utensils, and some scrap paper to jot down notes and ideas. 

With a passion for creating community in every form she can think of, Rachel was active in community development in Woodstock, VT, most recently ran a coworking space in Portland, OR, and is currently taking time off to do creative exploration and incubation of whatever beautiful thing is next. She lives in Milwaukee, WI. This session is based on Rachel’s workbook, The Magic of Seasons, available for purchase here.
