Seasonal Self Care
Seasonal living is a powerful way for us to reclaim a relationship with ourselves and the world around us. It reminds us that we aren’t separate to, but an integral part of nature.
Beyond just knowing there are seasons, learning to attune our lifestyle and self-care practices to them, gives us an opportunity to create more vitality, well-being, balance and joy in our lives.
Why seasonal living?
Seasonal living is the art of paying attention to the seasons and aligning our lifestyle and self-care practices to their rhythm.
In our 21st century culture, living with awareness of the seasons is no longer a given, but something we have to choose to pay attention to. Our lives are increasingly detached from nature, governed by the placelessness of the internet, coupled with a fast-paced, productivity-focused culture.
Despite our lack of attention, seasonal shifts and the rhythms of the natural world shape our health and well-being. As the plants surge to life in spring and summer, so do we. As they return to rest and stillness in winter, so do we. The ancient healing traditions all agreed that living out-of-alignment with these natural rhythms was a guaranteed way to bring about imbalance and disease.
Seasonal living gives us the opportunity to be “more aware of ourselves, more fully who we are as human beings”.
Quoted from John Kirkwood’s book, The Way of the 5 Elements

I highly recommend THRIVE – what an incredible event, “Re-imagining Business”. The evening was held so beautifully by Cat Green. The venue, the selection of tea and snacks, and the speakers were simply amazing.
I felt enlightened and curious, seen and heard. Very much looking forward to the next event. Totally inspired and deeply grateful.

Whilst I don’t have any books in stock at the moment specifically about seasonal living – the Chinese Medicine and Ayurvedic books, as well as many of the herbal titles all cover seasonal living as this is a foundational aspect of holistic health.
