Dreaming the Seasons

with the Five Elements

The world feels out of step – and maybe you do, too.

You may find yourself racing around, stuck or in overwhelm. Too busy, or bored (or somehow both at the same time.) You might be doing a lot of things, but you don’t feel like you’re getting anywhere. And all the chaos surrounding us doesn’t help. You may just find yourself feeling as if you are missing something, some form of connection.

Let’s bring you back into rhythm and connection again.

Join me for Dreaming the Seasons and tap into your inherent cycles and rhythms and feel what it’s like to live the interplay of grounding and expanding, ripening, falling, and rotting.

Dreaming the Seasons is a way to connect to the landscape of our bodies.

It brings us into relationship with the Elements, Seasons and nature that is around us – in all their stillness, vitality, and complexity. Unlike other things you may have tried, this is specifically designed to bring you into alignment and harmony with the energies of the year. (Not keep you permanently up – hello, hacks and optimisation – or permanently down – as in perma-zen, overly regulated nervous system.)

Just like the world around us, you’re constantly changing and in a cycle of birth/growth/life/death. And that’s a good thing.

Now it’s time for you to learn how to meet yourself in it.

I hold a safe, gentle presence and guide you expertly through seasonal embodied imagination practices, settling practices and creative prompts.

The Circles bring you a deeper awareness of the spaces inside you and help to align you with your inner self; together this opens up to how you dream yourself forward in your life and path, especially in relationship to Earth, the seasons and how we interact with them.

"The dreaming circle has been a wonderful experience; enlightening and thought provoking, providing a beautifully safe and supportive space for me to understand myself better. It’s enabled me to really rummage around those deeply hidden parts of my being which can sometimes hinder the journey along my chosen path" Mel

Our cadence for the year:

As we walk with the cycles of the seasons and elements, we tap into the energetic rhythms that can steady us amongst the chaos. In returning to these natural rhythms, we fall back into step with the primordial patterns that support where we are in our cycles of life and death – absolutely and unequivocally.
The result? An opportunity to deepen even further into yourself. A profound sense of support from something much larger than you that brings you a sense of place, belonging, and peace,

I lean back into the beauty of the 5 Elements, this exquisite system that I have worked with since 2006, I am continually learning about them with every day, every circle, every client. We work with these as seasons, Water – winter, Wood – spring, Fire – summer, Earth – late summer, and Metal – Autumn, and how they interact with each other around us and within us.

We are listening to how we respond to the 5 Elements of Earth, and her seasons as we sow the seeds from our winters dreaming, tend the precious shoots of our years intents, nurturing these to blossom and flower, to bear fruit so we can bring in our harvests from the Summer, experience the blaze of leaves, the precious jewels we have received from the year and how we then let go of these moments, composting what we need to in order to be in the depths of stillness of Winter. The potency of the deep dream and we become aware of what we take into this deep place to incubate over our winter dreaming.

My work with the Elements is deeply inspired by the work of Lorie Eve Dechar and Benjamin Fox. I have recently completed their year long mentorship through the 5 Elements
