There is a time for everything, and a season for every purpose under Heaven.
– Ecclesiastes 3:1

By consciously traveling through Earth’s Natural Seasonal Initiations we are able to see our self more clearly. This Natural Cycle becomes an inner quest for self knowledge and expansion as we are presented with calls for choices for change and growth. It takes great courage to dive deeply within our self to bring forth our sacred centered self.

The conscious work of these Seasonal Initiations can be confusing and mysterious at times. It can call us to let go of comforts and ways of being we have come to know as part of our self. Your conscious pass through Nature’s Initiations may bring you into uncertain territory in a way that is unknown to you. Eventually though, you will come to trust the rhythms and evolution of this natural cycle.

Nature, Earth, and the whole of the Web of Life become your teachers – but only you can heal yourself. Only you can bring yourself through evolution. All of the cosmic Web of Life supports you – but only you can make your path and walk it. No two journeys within the Web are the same. Each is unique and appropriate.

As the seasons come and go, you may notice that certain thoughts, feelings, behaviors, yearnings, longings, and desires seem to come and go with each particular season. Nature is a dynamic psychological and spiritual process and we as humans are also that manifested form.

We delight in seeing the moon in its phases and the wheel of the seasons turn, not because of their newness, but because we are that same dynamic. We experience the dynamic energy that is particular to each season, not just by our cognitive evaluation, but because what we see outside is what we are inside.

We can not escape our essential nature – we are the Cycles of the seasonal reality. As we cycle through life stages, we pass through successive initiatory experiences. We live as the seasonal natural cycle, ebbing and flowing through constant growth, decay, regeneration, and interdependence.

Each of us reflects the ebb and flow that is repeated season after season, year after year. We are nature and our individual natures move through the seasonal dynamics as surely as the natural world does. The Seasonal Initiations process is a spiritual, therapeutic, and psychological process that mirrors in the person the greater natural dynamic.

Through each of the Seasonal Initiations you locate your wholeness. You touch the places in you that are fully developed and those that, are weak or immature, have been stuck or exaggerated, overdeveloped, overlaid or interrupted. The fully developed and whole person moves through the seasons – the dynamics of living and dying – again and again, coming to new wholeness each time.

Each season presents to you an invitation to engage in the initiations of that season. There are therapeutic modalities that are specific to each season and act as Rites of Passage through the initiatory requirements for healing of that season.
