Living in Season: An Aligned Way to Live

For a long time, I thought the answer was to try harder. To push through. To be more consistent. Productive. Disciplined.
And it's easy to do. We live in a culture that asks us to show up the same way every day. To keep producing so that we can consume. To push ourselves and override our bodies in the name of expectations and commitments.
But here's the thing...our bodies are cyclical by nature. Just like the natural world.
There are times when energy rises naturally — when beginning feels exciting, when expression flows easily, when connection feels nourishing.
And there are times when the body asks for something different. More slowness. More rest.
Living in season is about learning to listen to those rhythms instead of fighting them.
For me, this way of living has been the most powerful antidote to burnout I’ve ever known. It feels peaceful...not in a numb and disconnected way like I used to experience due to exhaustion, but in a grounded, alive way. It feels like pleasure. Expansion. There's room to breathe again.
A big part of this has happened because I came to live on land in a cabin, and became so attuned to the seasons. Through this, I also became more attuned to my menstrual cycle, and how all 4 seasons happen within my body in the span of one month. I know - wild that we are expecting our bodies to push through inner winter as though we are in the peak of summer...
So how can this help you? And no, you don't have to leave everything behind and live in a cabin in the woods (although you're most certainly welcome to come visit). Instead, you can tune into your own seasons and cycles of:
beginning
expressing
releasing
resting
When we honour those cycles, something softens. We stop abandoning ourselves to meet external timelines. We start trusting our own pace. And then we are able to stop the cycles of burnout, exhaustion, illness...it's truly all connected.
This season, I’m opening space to share this work more intentionally with you in a few ways:
Private 1:1 support
A small seasonal group experience devoted to cyclical living
Retreats designed for deep rest, reconnection, and remembering who you are when you slow all the way down.
If something in this way of living resonates — if your body feels a quiet yes — trust that.
Sometimes curiosity is the first sign that you’re ready to come home to yourself.
