COURSE
With Mark Mathews
What if the natural world already held the key to navigating change, presence, loss, and rest and all you had to do was pay attention? The Four Seasons: The Wisdom of Cycles is your four-day journey through nature's most powerful metaphor, showing you exactly how spring, summer, autumn, and winter mirror the rhythms of your own life - and how to move through each one with more grace. Day 1: Spring - Learn the courage it takes to begin again. Identify the one "green shoot" in your life that's ready to grow, and take your first small, imperfect step toward it. Day 2: Summer - Discover why we so often miss our own best moments, and practise the art of being fully present for what's actually good in your life right now. Day 3: Autumn - Explore the grace of letting go. Name what you've been holding onto - a grudge, an old identity, a grief - and begin to release it with honour rather than force. Day 4: Winter - Give yourself permission to rest, without guilt or justification. Understand stillness not as emptiness, but as the essential, active work that makes your next season of growth possible. Each session pairs a reflection on that day's season with words from poets and philosophers who understood these rhythms deeply, followed by a guided meditation you'll experience right in the session, plus a simple daily practice to carry with you. This isn't about astrology or any one spiritual tradition. It's about the simple, universal truth that everything in nature moves in cycles - and so do you. When you stop demanding you always be in full bloom, something remarkable happens: you find peace with exactly where you are. No background needed. This course is for you if you're moving through change, feeling stuck between seasons of your own life, or simply want a gentler, more natural framework for understanding yourself. Just a few minutes a day for four days. A rhythm you can return to for the rest of your life.
