This is a day to celebrate the full summer season (incidentally it’s Lughnasadh, the first of the old Celtic harvest festivals) – come as yourself!
Summer has relaxed into itself and in our part of the world the fruits of earth’s annual labours are abundant. Whether it’s hot or whether it’s not, the land is abundant right now, and a large part of our native fauna is focused on recovery after all the exertions of spring. The swifts – my absolute favourite bird – are already beginning their long flight south.
We, too, are taking a day off! We’ll spend it exploring some of traditional arts of the wise woman and her ‘oldest knowledge’ which, as it happens, creates a well-balanced, well-connected life and an everyday relationship with nature. We’ll learn the basics of inner balance, forage, do some basic herbalism, learn tools for working through big life issues with nature, explore how to mark life’s big moments for our own wellbeing and efficiency, and we’ll celebrate as we deserve.
Most of all, this is a day to give earth and ourselves some love!
Please Note: You might find it useful to bring a blank-page notebook, a clean-lidded jar, something to gather into, and something to write/draw with.
About Dr. Juno Quaintrell: I use a nature-centred approach to help women navigate midlife challenges and find a saner, more authentic way of being.
