Seasonal Attunement Through East Asian Medicine and Other Earth-Based Traditions

The sky has always kept time. Long before calendars, people tracked the solstices, equinoxes, and the four turning points between them, the same eight moments honored in the Chinese solar calendar and in earth-based traditions across the world. Same sky, different names for the same turn.

SoLuna gathers monthly at each of these turning points to ask what the qi of the season is actually doing, in the sky above and in the body that mirrors it. We explore the organs asking for our attention as the year shifts, seasonal remedies worth keeping close at hand, and guided acupressure and qigong practice suited to that exact moment in the wheel. Some sessions mark a solstice or equinox, the year's true balance points. Others honor a cross-quarter day, Samhain, Imbolc, Beltane, Lammas, the turning points between them. Every gathering is different, and every gathering is part of the same slow turn.

Womb Ways

Cyclical Body Wisdom & Practice

According to East Asian Medicine, female bodies move in cycles of seven. This thousands-of-years-old medicine observed that each seven-year span marks a real shift in the body's essence, from birth through childhood, puberty and menarche, the fertile years, late adulthood, and menopause. That same cyclical wisdom moves in a monthly infradian rhythm too, follicular, ovulatory, luteal, menstrual. Both rhythms, the monthly and the lifelong, mirror the same elements and seasons: spring's rise, summer's fullness, autumn's release, winter's rest.

Womb Ways is a monthly gathering through that entire continuum, one phase or life stage at a time, held through the lens of the Five Elements and the wisdom already living in the womb. Some months we sit with the sharpened clarity of pre-menstrual time. Others, the altered, seeing state of the bleed itself, or the sovereignty of menopause, or the fire of ovulation. Each session blends real clinical teaching, acupressure, and seasonal remedies with embodied practice and reflection, so the medicine doesn't stay theoretical. It becomes something you can feel and cultivate.
