The Wisdom of Pace

Seasonal Living and the Practice of Surrender

Spring is here! - Did you notice?

The seasons sweep us up within them, whether we want to or not. Such a surprising little detail that all of the natural world is still here, doing their budding and blooming, when we are so full from the human-made world and its seeming indifference to it all, forging ahead with its own agenda.

Yet often, it is the ever-ongoing rhythms of nature according to celestial movements, humming peacefully in the background, that can nourish and resource us, that we can connect with when we feel disregulated or aimless, when we are struggling to come to terms with what life is giving us, or with the times we find ourselves in.

There is a beauty in the constant that is impermanence, and a permission that we, too, are allowed to change.

Happy Spring Equinox! Read on below about seasonal living as a practice of surrender, the importance of rhythm and its role in our healing of trauma and relationships, and why a sense of pace is paramount for our current times.
