The Wheel of the Year is the Earth’s Calendar marking the changing seasons and the changing light. It is a Wheel - a Circle - with no beginning and no end. The Wheel celebrates eight Sabbats - or festivals - that mark significant shifts in the effects of sunlight on the Earth. These shifts celebrated stillness and dreaming in the dark half of the year, and these shifts celebrated harvests in the light half of the year. Different cultures, countries, animals and plants were impacted by light and dark in different ways, so the Wheel was uniquely experienced in those locales.

The modern calendar changed all of that. It gave the world a singular experience of time where governments, financial sectors and even organized religion could exist within one timeline. While it created a connection across borders with humanity, over time we sacrificed the connection we all have to this Earth and her beings. Watch trees and animals and we all remember that there is a wisdom far beyond the human-made calendar of time.

Today, in a way, we all have to live within some of the constructs of the 12 month calendar. But what would it be like to live in the modern world while honoring the wisdom of the Wheel of the Year? And in shifting that focus, how do we realign with our own nature, with all other living beings. How do we begin to listen once more to the ancient wisdom of connection and belonging that we once knew.

Welcome to Earth Rhythms where both roads meet. Where ancient ways meet modern days and we find once more - our sovereign, full connection to this beautiful Earth we all call home.
