Book excerpt: As we approach the hectic holiday season, many mamas find ourselves longing to add more meaning, resonance, and ritual to our family traditions. If you're looking to tone down the conspicuous consumption and turn your winter traditions from frenzy to reflection or from mundane to mystical, this book can be your guide. The Sacred Seasons incorporates activities and rituals from indigenous wisdom traditions and the Earth's holy days, based upon the Celtic wheel of the year. The Sacred Seasons is welcoming and inclusive to readers of all backgrounds, faiths, and beliefs. Parents and children awaken the wonder and magic of living more deeply connected to the natural rhythms of the seasons and co-create meaningful traditions on the holy days of winter solstice (Yule) in December, and the birth of spring (Imbolc) in February. Mamas steep in seasonal self-care, personal reflection and ceremony to attune the psyche to the elements and feminine archetypes of winter. As Mamas honor our bodies and the seasons as sacred, we awaken the true meaning of what is holy at this time of year, creating new family traditions that warm the heart and soul, as well as regenerate the Earth.

Download or read book Seasons of the Sacred written by Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee and published by The Golden Sufi Center. This book was released on 2021-05-01 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seasons of the Sacred weaves together poems, images, and stories of Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter, reconnecting us to our roots in the cycles of nature and our own soul. As our world appears more and more out of balance, our destruction of the natural world increasing, there is a vital need to remember what is essential, simple, and sacred. Likening Spring to falling in love, Summer with abundance and spiritual awakening, and Autumn with fruition and wisdom, this book continuously reflects the profound resonance of humanity within nature. Never more relevant than now, the chapter on Winter helps the reader remember what is most essential, showing how there is meaning and even peace amidst the most devastating losses, and how all life belongs to these deeper patterns of change. The book draws from such a variety of sources, such as Rumi, Hafiz, Lao Tzu, Rabia, Julian of Norwich, T.S. Eliot, and others. Each chapter opens with a unique woodcut or engraving image, further illustrating the beauty of our seasons. Vaughan-Lee adeptly connects the reader to the deepest envisioning of contemporary challenges. Climate catastrophe, refugees, cultural degradation, and political divisiveness are all contextualized within natural cycles of birth, loss, and transition, and the reader is guided to listen through the fear and anxiety of our age to the deeper ground of belonging that calls from even the most destitute inner and outer landscapes. Seasons of the Sacred is Llewellyn Vaughn-Lee’s fifth contribution to his spiritual ecology series, which places the human story within the story of the Earth and compels the examination of attitudes, beliefs, and habits in relation to the ongoing desecration, ecological devastation—and potential restoration—of our common home. “Vaughan-Lee encourages reconnecting with the Earth in this heartfelt compilation of essays, poems, and illustrations…. Suitable for readers of all spiritual persuasions, Vaughan-Lee’s soothing observations will inspire a more mindful contemplation of Earth’s rhythms.” —Publishers Weekly “Seasons of the Sacred is a beckoning down into the simple rhythms of nature. With his guiding eloquence, Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee moves us into conversation with the sacred, calling our awareness to the concealed gifts of each season. Drawing on the ancient poetry of Rumi, Hafiz, Julian of Norwich, Wordsworth, and others, we can’t help but fall into step with the numinous found in ordinary life.” —Toko-pa Turner, author of Belonging: Remembering Ourselves Home
