After the Summer Solstice, we officially entered the Dark Half of the Year, though it probably didn't feel like it. Subtly we started waning in hours of sunlight each day, and as we approach the Autumn Equinox, it'll grow more and more noticeable.

Lammas, also known as Lughnasadh, is a festival often celebrated on August 1st, marking the halfway point between Summer Solstice and Autumn Equinox, as well as the first harvest of the wheel of the year.

Lughnasadh is the old Irish name for the festival - and the old spelling too. Fun fact: Lúnasa is actually the Irish word for August! Lammas is the more English Anglo-Saxon name.

It's not too late to celebrate! Lammas is not just one day, but a portal, a Season. Time is hyperlocal, and traditions vary.

While some celebrate on August 1, some celebrated much earlier on "Lunar Lammas" with the 8th Full Moon after the Winter Solstice, which fell on July 29. "Solar Lammas" is on August 6 this week!

This replay from the Wild Wellness Women's Circle is an opportunity for you to celebrate now too.

Lammas invites us all to reflect on the first harvest—both in Nature and in our lives. It asks: What has come to fruition? What still needs tending? And what might be time to let go of?

Press play to hear more about...

- Honoring grief this time of year even as we hold joy, the tension between opposites and the magic that can result

- Reflecting back to Imbolc on Feb 1, seeing what has bloomed and what hasn't

- Reasons why we sometimes don't get the harvest we expected, and what to do with that

- Slowing to the pace of Nature as much of the animal kingdom is really quiet this time of year in the oppressive heat, and how this can be our permission slip too

Lammas, also known as Lughnasadh, is a festival celebrated on August 1st, marking the halfway point between Summer Solstice and Fall Equinox, and the first harvest of the year in the Wheel of the Year.

It's a time where Nature is modeling for us the themes of gratitude and abundance, harvest and reaping, transformation and sacrifice, community and sharing, and reflection and planning.

Did you know?

The word Lammas actually comes from the Old English "loaf mass." People baked a loaf of bread from their first harvest and brought it to the church to be blessed. This bread was believed to have healing and protective properties, so they placed it in the corners of their homes and barns for protection and blessing.

Even though the exact date is August 1, we can celebrate this whole season.

In this episode, you'll learn...

• the origins, history, and symbolism of Lammas
• what Nature is modeling for us physically, spiritually, and energetically, and how we can align
• 11 easy and enjoyable ways to celebrate Lammas
• 8 journal prompt themes to help you reflect and process the inspiration of this season

Most of us live inside linear, scheduled time. Our culture measures every minute and asks us to manage time as if it were money. But our ancestors lived by different rhythms. They knew time as cyclical, sacred, and alive.

I've been on a journey of rewilding my own relationship with time. The Celtic Wheel of the Year and the Celtic Lunar Tree have helped me honor seasonal and lunar rhythms.

In 2024, my mentor introduced me to the Mayan calendar, which deepened this path even further by giving me not just a seasonal or lunar energy to attune to, but a daily one.

Unlike astrology, which can feel overwhelming with so many moving parts, the Mayan calendar offers a simple yet profound way to attune to the quality of time every single day.

The Mayan Sacred Calendar repeats in predictable cycles through twenty nawales, or archetypal energies. 

These patterns invite us to notice synchronicities, shift our awareness, and experience life through Kairos time, mythic time that stretches and breathes, rather than only Kronos time, the linear time of calendars and clocks.

In this replay of a gathering of the Wild Wellness Women's Circle, guest expert Diana Paez walks us through:

• The Mayan calendar as a living system: how cyclical time repeats in archetypal patterns

• An introduction to the nawales: the twenty archetypes you will meet again and again as companions on your path

• Your Mayan birth chart: how to begin exploring your unique essence through the quality of time you were born into

• A rewilding of your relationship to time: moving from productivity-driven Kronos time into the spacious, sacred experience of Kairos time

This is not just a lecture. It’s a circle. You'll get to listen, learn, reflect, and sense how this ancient wisdom resonates in your Life.

Ever since I started walking with the Mayan calendar, it has deepened my connection to my Intuition and helped me understand even more how Nature, Time, and Love want to speak to us each day. I know it will for you too!

What if the way through your current challenge isn't to try harder—but to listen to the element that's calling you?

In this replay from a gathering in the Wild Wellness Women's Circle, I teach you the elemental framework drawn from the Taoist Five Element tradition and the Dagara cosmology of West Africa.

Rather than treating the elements as personality types, this approach understands them as living movements found in Nature, the Seasons, and our own lives.

In this episode, we explore how discovering your primary element can help you better understand your natural rhythms, where you tend to get stuck, and what kinds of practices bring you back into alignment.

You'll also learn how each element offers a completely different strategy for navigating uncertainty, relationships, creativity, grief, and growth.

Whether you're longing for more clarity, more rest, or simply a deeper relationship with Nature and your Intuition...

Press play to hear:

• The difference between the Western four-element system and the Taoist Five Element tradition
• Why the Five Elements are better understood as movements rather than personality types
• How to discover your primary element using your birth year
• The gifts, challenges, emotions, and spiritual invitations of Fire, Earth, Mineral (Metal), Water, and Nature (Wood)
• Practical ways each element approaches decision-making and life's challenges
• How the Seasons themselves become guides for personal growth
• Reflection questions to help you deepen your own elemental practice

As you listen, notice:

• Which element feels most like home?
• Which element are you being invited to cultivate right now?
• How might your current challenge look different if you approached it from another elemental direction?

I'd love to hear what resonated with you. Send me a message or come join us in a future Wild Wellness Women's Circle.

Have you ever heard the quote "Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?”

Maybe you knew it was from poet Mary Oliver, but did you know it's from her poem called "The Summer Day?" Gosh that makes me love it even more, and I think it's the most Natural Time of the year to ask ourselves that question.

This episode is a replay of our 2025 Summer Solstice celebration inside the Wild Wellness Women's Circle, and I'm sharing it here to inspire you to live your one wild and precious life this Summer.

Whether you believe we have just one lifetime or many, you still only have this one summer as this age that you are, with your kids at the age they are, with the circumstances and Season of your life being exactly what it is right now.

For much of human history, Summer was a season of pilgrimage.

The weather was right for journeying, and people would leave their homes to walk toward places of meaning, healing, prayer, and transformation.

But pilgrimage isn't only about traveling long distances.

It's about crossing a threshold.

It's about stepping out of ordinary life long enough to remember what matters most.

Press play to hear:

• Why pilgrimage was traditionally associated with Summer
• The difference between a vacation and a pilgrimage

• Why some of the most important pilgrimages happen close to home

• How Nature helps us remember who we are
• Why many people are secretly longing for a threshold experience
• How to create a meaningful pilgrimage in your own life

What if your real life isn't standing in the way of your pilgrimage?

What if your real life is the path?

Wherever your feet take you this Summer, may your path feel sacred and lead you closer to what really matters.

Have you ever wanted something deeply but felt frustrated that your current reality couldn't quite support it yet?

Maybe you want to be a more patient parent, grow your business, have healthier habits, stronger boundaries, or a more meaningful life.

And maybe you've been judging yourself because your current capacity doesn't match your desire.

Not every gap between desire and capacity is a problem to solve.

Today I'm sharing 3 reasons for the gap between your capacity and desire, and which one you should do nothing about.

Press play to hear:

• Why people often give up too soon
• The difference between desire and capacity
• How capacity grows through resourcing, not force
• Why perfectionism sabotages growth
• The power of "Version 1.0"
• The relationship between Summer and sustainable expansion
• Why some dreams require patience instead of pressure
• How to honor your desire without fighting your current capacity
• Why I used to think Summer shouldn't be a Season of rest
• How seasonal living changed my relationship with productivity

Litha marks the Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year, and it’s a time when fertile energy is at its peak, and all around us, new life is rapidly growing. It celebrates the growing crops, the Sun, abundance, the beauty of Mother Earth, and the first day of Summer!

Did you know?

More commonly referred to as Midsummer’s Night, Litha is believed to be a time when faerie folk pass into the human world at Twilight and offer blessings, and sometimes mischief. If you’re familiar with Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, this is a great example of the mischief the faeries do to interfere with humans just for fun.

Even though the exact dates are June 19-23, we can celebrate this whole season.

In this episode, you'll learn...

• the origins, history, and symbolism of Litha
• what Nature is modeling for us physically, spiritually, and energetically, and how we can align
• 14 easy and enjoyable ways to celebrate Litha
• 6 journal prompt themes to help you reflect and process the inspiration of this season
