Wheel of the Year

As the seasons shift, our bodies and spirits shift too. For thousands of years, women have marked time not by the clock or calendar but by the turning of the earth — planting, harvesting, gathering, and resting in rhythm with nature. This is the wisdom of the Wheel of the Year, an ancient eight-season cycle rooted in earth-based traditions. In today’s world, where we so often push past these natural rhythms, the wheel offers us a way back- a reminder to honor both the light and the dark, the growth and the letting go.

On this week’s episode of the Peaceful Power Podcast, I’m joined once again by herbalist and teacher Meghan Rhodes. Together, we explore how the Wheel of the Year can deepen our connection with nature and guide our practices- not just in the garden, but in our daily lives. We also weave in the Ayurvedic perspective, exploring how the doshas overlay with these seasonal shifts and what it means for our bodies, energy, and self-care.

If you’ve ever felt called to live more cyclically to create rituals that honor the seasons and bring a sense of rootedness to your life this conversation will give you inspiration and practical ways to begin.
