Seasonal Meditations
Meditations on the Seasons
Across time and cultures, people have organized their lives around the rhythms of the seasons—using stories and rituals to guide their survival and make meaning of their lives. The cycle of the year is marked by eight key points—the solstices, the equinoxes and the midpoints between them. This eightfold pattern reflects nature’s cycles of growth, change, death and renewal, and is celebrated in traditions around the world. In eventful times, this annual cycle offers a steady anchor—an invitation to pause and reconnect with the world around us. No matter where you live or what spiritual traditions you practice (including none), this is a wonderful way to relate to nature and the larger rhythms we live within.

Meditation for All Hallows' Eve: Change, Endings & Letting Go
This next gathering celebrates the midpoint between the fall equinox and the winter solstice. It’s a potent time of year, imbued with rich histories and traditions that honor the full cycle of beginnings and endings, life and death, darkness and light.
As we enter the dark half of the year, this midpoint invites us to turn inward, celebrate the power of rest and practice letting go. Are there aspects of your life that are changing or coming to an end? Is there a pattern of thinking, a behavior, a relationship, an attitude, maybe even an old story about yourself that needs to be released? In letting go of what no longer serves us, we make space for whatever wants to emerge next.
What to expect
This gathering includes a short talk and stories humans have told—and continue to tell—about this time of year, along with guided reflections and meditations.
What to bring (optional)
A candle; a photo of an ancestor or loved one who has died; a piece of tiger’s eye or smoky quartz (or any stone you like); maybe a marigold, leaf, acorn or pinecone—anything that symbolizes change, endings or transformation for you.
