And it can be very confusing to our still weary spirits.Your number one task right now continues to be resting. This is your NUMBER ONE JOB right now. But you may also start feeling an internal conflict between needing rest & wanting to be 'productive'. Imbolc can be a really stormy, tumultuous time of year.This is a time of being tested: you've grown so much over the past several months, and now you're being asked to leave what is safe & comfortable in order to stretch into this new version of you that you are becoming.

The winter solstice celebrates the return of the light. It's nature's promise: that when all seems dead & frozen, life will return again. Even on the darkest day, a ray of light – of hope – remains. And even if that light is so faint, that in some places it barely shines at all – even then, it holds the potential to grow into a raging fire. The winter solstice is nature's promise that a sliver of hope always remains. In this episode we talk about how you can connect with that hopeful energy & use it  to fuel your winter dreams, and inspire everything you want to grow in the year ahead. We talk about what your number one job is this season, and why it's so vitally important.

Samhain is the sacred seasonal day marking the end of the harvest & the death of the natural world. The harvest is over, the crops have been cut down; all of nature is letting go & turning toward death & darkness. The old is dying as everything turns inward in preparation for the new to take root.This is the time of year when we face the death & dying part of the cycle of life. It has long been a time for honoring our beloved dead who have passed on. This episode is all about Samhain: the history of this sacred seasonal day, why it's meaningful, how it effects you – emotionally & spiritually, and how you can use this time of year to fuel your own process of letting go, and the deaths required to continue growing. Get the Samhain Guidebook (with rituals, journal Qs, tarot spreads & more) in this month's Sacred Seasons.

Lughnasa is the sacred seasonal day celebrating the beginning of harvest season. Celebrated by the Gaelic Celts, this midpoint in Summer was a traditional time to pause & celebrate the coming harvest; and to honor all the hard work that went into cultivating this abundance. What have you been working hard to grow & cultivate this year? Often, the most powerful harvests we experience are our own personal growth & transformation. Which are often hard to see, or quantify. You may not think you have anything growing in your garden, but I assure you: simply being a human being living through the uncertainties & upheaval of the past several months has caused you to stretch & grow in ways you may not even realize yet. And that is going to bear fruit in some way. This episode is all about Lughnasa: the history of this sacred seasonal day, why it's meaningful, how it effects you – emotionally & spiritually, and how you can use this time of year to fuel your own abundant harvests & personal growth.
