Align with the Solar Year: A 2-Hour Planning Session

Sunday, February 8 | 10am–12pm EST | Virtual | $45
The earth is still in its dormancy and our alarm clocks still deserve a few taps of the snooze button. Soon though the wood (spring) element will begin to pick up momentum and overlap with the water (winter) element.  While the wisdom of winter is to hibernate and contemplate our dreams and interests, Wood’s energy invites us to plan, to vision, and to root our intentions before the growing season takes hold.
For many of us, spring "begins" in mid-March when we're so sick of winter and the trappings of the cold season. But if you listen closely and make movements a bit sooner, you can ride the cyclical wave of the season. You'll receive the benefits of starting your seasonal planning before the external world fully looks like the season you're accustomed to.

What We'll Explore Together

In this relaxed and lively two-hour virtual gathering, we'll map the solar year from February 4, 2026 to February 4, 2027 and learn to read the land's wisdom and apply it to your own life.
We'll review:
  • The major solar terms of: equinoxes, solstices, cross quarter days
  • How we map these on culturally important holidays
  • How to anticipate your energy throughout the year—when to create more solo or family only time, when to launch that project, when to say no to invitations that will deplete you
This isn't about rigid planning. It's about working with the seasons instead of against them, so you can move through your year with more ease, less burnout, and better alignment with your own natural rhythms.

Why Now?

We'll be in the initial stirrings of spring—that liminal space when the Wood element supports visioning and planning. Before the full force of growth season arrives, you have this window to think clearly about what you want each season to hold.
You can always pivot. But starting with awareness of the year's natural architecture gives you something to pivot from—a framework that honors both your ambitions and your capacity.

This Program is For You If:

  • You're tired of feeling burned out by June
  • You want to plan your year in harmony with natural cycles rather than arbitrary calendar months
  • You're curious about solar terms but don't know how to apply them practically
  • You keep overcommitting because you can't see the bigger picture of your energy across time
  • You're ready to get ahead of drain, depletion, and overscheduling

What You'll Leave With:

  • A clear map of the 2025-2026 solar year with all key dates
  • Practical guidance for working with each season's energy
  • A seasonal planning framework you can return to year after year
  • Permission to align your life with something older and wiser than your inbox
