Today… a needed break…

New Year - New Beginnings…

2024 has come to a close, and here we are stepping into 2025. Every time this shift in the year occurs, I find myself reflecting on the arbitrariness of our calendar system. On a practical level, it’s the Gregorian calendar, which governs our work and industrial lives. It’s the dominant framework and common language of our current era. While I’m not particularly fond of it, it’s the structure I must navigate.

However, the calendar that resonates most deeply with my heart and soul is the Pagan Wheel of the Year. This system centers around the natural cycles of the solstices, equinoxes and the midpoints between them. Aligning more closely with the rhythms of the Earth and the passage of time in a way that feels more meaningful to me. It’s a gift to step out of this capitalist-driven progression of time, and instead align with the present moment. Connecting with life, resting back into my body and grounding into a deeper sense of presence.

With all that said, I’m beginning this ‘New Year’ with a brief pause. After attending to and completing the 12 Days of Yule Retreat, I feel the need to step back and take some time to contemplate my next steps here in substack. I’m not going anywhere; I simply need a moment to gather my thoughts and plan a path… though I almost used the word “forward” ( a reminder of how embedded this capitalist thinking is). Instead, let’s make it more meandering, circular, and cyclic!

For now, I’d like to extend an invitation to those who took a break from Substack at the end of the year, or didn’t have the chance to participate in the 12 Days of Yule Retreat. Here is an opportunity to dive into a subject or topic that truly sparks your interest. Please enjoy and have fun…
