In a year of 365 days, the Earth passes through four seasons, marked by four major energetic shifts.
 
These passages structure the rhythm of nature — and our own.

The winter solstice, toward which we are moving, marks both the entry into the winter season and the darkest day of the year.

Due to the position of the Earth in relation to the Sun, December 21 is characterized by a late sunrise and an early sunset: daylight is at its minimum.

Conversely, June 21 corresponds to the longest and brightest day of the year. It opens the door to summer, a season of full expansion, warmth, and radiance.

March 21 and September 21 are called equinoxes. These moments of balance mark a point of perfect equality between the length of day and that of night.

• The spring equinox lies halfway between the longest night and the longest day.
• The autumn equinox marks the reverse transition, from full light toward increasing darkness.

The four seasons thus form a complete cycle, comparable to a circle divided into four distinct parts, each carrying its own flavor, energy, and teaching.

Each season is unique and expresses itself in many ways:
Temperatures, sunlight, colors, density, rhythm, quality of light, energetic movements…

As living beings born of this planet, we are naturally influenced by the transformations it undergoes. For the Earth is alive — just like us.

Through the passage of the seasons, each one invites us to adjust, inwardly as well as materially. It is therefore deeply natural that our way of living, feeling, and acting evolves throughout the seasonal cycle.

But then, how do we align?

The first answer lies in perceiving. Our system adapts spontaneously over the months, initiating gradual adjustments that make each transition smoother — much like our natural adaptation to temperature variations between summer and winter.

These internal transformations allow us to learn to live in rhythm with the Earth. Accompanying them consciously, through attentive listening of inner perceptions, deepens this harmony.

And of course, this experience varies for each person, depending on lifestyle and sensitivity.

Listening to what is unfolding within is undoubtedly the most accurate guidance. It is there that each person can find the inner posture that suits them.


But that is not all.


Fortunately so, because if understanding the world relied only on the invisible, it would remain difficult to access.

Inside, the sap withdraws and concentrates in the trunk. This movement of re-centering allows the tree to survive the harshness of winter.

As spring approaches, this accumulated energy becomes the fertile ground for buds, flowers, and fruits to come.

Rebirth occurs naturally, carried by planetary energy and the gradual return of light.

A true genius of the living world.

On the outside, the tree appears motionless. Yet its inner work is immense!

To bloom again, it had to shed, preserve the essential, integrate its experience, and begin again differently, at the right moment. That is the cycle.

And what if we, too, had much to learn from this?
Being in harmony with nature is also being in harmony with ourselves.

Being in harmony with ourselves is also being in harmony with nature.
One and the other — not one without the other. It is a path of union of the whole, in everything, and in everyone.
