The Life Force of the Seasons

Have you felt the desire to rest when your whole world is pressuring you to keep running?
Do you ever hesitate to make decisions because the time just doesn't feel right?
Are elements of the natural world - trees, rocks, wind, sun - a source of nurture for you?

Every day without us knowing it our bodies are influenced and respond to the atmosphere around us. The atmosphere is alive; the seasons play out this life force, influencing every cell in our body, every inclination of our hearts, every connection to our spirit. In Embodied Season workshops, you will experience an alignment with the seasons, planets and natural world. The benefits are endless.

Four times a year, Stacia offers an opportunity to deepen your relationship with the seasons. Guided by our body's first blueprint - mother earth - and the wisdom of the elements, these workshops will give you direct experience receiving the life force of the seasons. Each workshop includes a crafted selection of activities, reflections, rituals and ceremonies that might include:

Collective Altar: Helps us remember the nature and elements of the season; brings us to the spirit, magic, creative and artistic part in each of us
Ceremony: Guides us to honor planetary influences and other invisible forces, drawing them closer to us, aiding our decisions and actions
Guided Meditation: Connects our spirits to the greater whole and roots us deeply into the earth
Movement: Brings the elements of our bodies - muscles, bones, fluids - into rest & reception
Sound Bath: Harmonizes our body to the vibration of the season
Breathwork: Acknowledges and encourages our relationship with air, both in us and around us, both in giving and receiving

Entering the Cycle
Each season carries a flavor from the one preceding it; each casts its influence on the one to follow. Yet there is no beginning and no end to the cycle of the seasons. Like the seasons, Embodied Seasons workshops altogether form a whole - which like every cycle is more complete when the full cycle has been experienced. However, each workshops can be taken individually, gleaning the specific qualities of the season in focus:

AUTUMN Equinox   RELEASE - TRANSITION - QUEST
WINTER Solstice SURRENDER - REST - RENEW
SPRING   Equinox    AWAKEN - SEED - REBIRTH
SUMMER Solstice   GROW - RIPEN - RELEASE

The Zoom Temple
During the pandemic, Embodied Seasons gathering are conducted virtually. This platform allows for participation from anywhere, bringing the spirit of regions far and wide to the gatherings.

In Person Gatherings
Face-to-face gatherings are generally held at the Crown Hill Center in North Seattle and have been suspended during the pandemic. Occasionally, additional relevant events will be added, such as sweat lodge, vision quest or immersive weekend retreat.
