How the season of summer can support us in our lives
run by Shenoah and David
Information that was circulated – As we move towards the summer solstice we witness the fertility and abundance of nature as the spring growth blooms into a riot of green and colour. At this meeting we will explore the relationship between the spirits, natural abundance and ourselves and how we can draw on the upcoming season to support us in our lives. We will be doing some work in Vauxhall Park
Introduction to day – Summer is often seen as a time of abundance, greenery, colours in nature, warmer weather, holidays. By working with the themes of the seasons we can come into the rhythm of nature and receive the gifts each season has to offer
Astronomical summer – In the astronomical calendar the start and end dates of summer are based on the changing position of Earth in relation to the sun and the resulting solar events of equinoxes and solstices
Meteorological summer – Meteorologists, on the other hand, define seasons based on climatic conditions and the annual temperature cycle.
