Welcome to And The Wheel Turns

And The Wheel Turns is a different way of looking at the seasons, not as eight dates on a calendar, but as an invitation to live a little more slowly, intentionally and in tume with the world around us.

Here you will find reflections on the turning seasons, ancient wisdom and simple ideas for modern living. Each piece takes something from the tradtions and rhythms of the past and asks a simple question: how might this help us live better today?

You don't have to follow any particular belief system, celebrate every festival or change your life overnight. Simply start where you are. Read what speaks to you, notice where you are in the season, and take one small idea into your everyday life.

Because The Wheel doesn't simply turn eight times a year. It turns everyday and there is wisom to be found in every turn.
