About this episode

This episode is a seasonal check in as we move from summer into autumn, my favourite stretch of the year.

Before I get into it, a reminder that our Monday sessions start again on September 14th. Anyone who signs up before the 10th gets a one card tarot reading recorded just for them, a little blessing for the season ahead. Sliding scale, no one turned away for lack of funds, more info here: ⁠https://griefmagic.com/club⁠

I share some of the small rituals I use to mark this transition. Reflecting on the summer that’s just passed, printing photos to stick in my diary, and making space for what was hard as well as what was beautiful. Decluttering summer things out of my space, building a tiny seasonal bookshelf so I’m not overwhelmed by all the books to read. Refreshing my ritual and craft materials, including a little update to my tarot deck collection, putting my garden to bed for the colder months, stocking up on candles and soup ingredients… And of course tapping into that back to school energy in September, even without kids or school, to ask what I want to learn or take away from the season ahead.

I also talk about checking in with friends about what this season might be like for them, and making a little space to support each other through it.

Thanks for listening!

Love,

Yarrow
