Old version The Wild Remembering - Saved JIC
Something in you already
knows the rhythm.
Before clocks. Before calendars. Before the noise — there was a pulse to things. The seasons turned. The moon rose and fell. And something in you tracked it. The Wild Remembering is an invitation back to that knowing.
Not a course. A return.
We have inherited a way of living that is disconnected from the rhythms that shaped us. We forgot that the year has a body — that winter asks something different of us than summer, that the full moon carries a different quality of attention than the new.
The Wild Remembering is a guided re-attunement to natural time. Over the course of a year, we move together through the great turning — the four seasonal gates, the four Celtic midpoints between them, and the thirteen moons that weave through it all. Woven through each cycle: weekly rhythms, daily practices, and the animals from the Arc(k) that carry the teaching for that time of year.
This is not about doing more. It's about paying a different kind of attention.
The four threadsThe four great turning points — solstices and equinoxes — that mark the body of the year. Each one a threshold, a change in quality, an invitation to shift.
Imbolc, Beltane, Lughnasadh, Samhain — the ancient fire festivals that mark the midpoints between the gates. Where the seasonal energy peaks and turns.
Each full moon carries its own name, its own quality. Thirteen moons in a year — not twelve. The wild extra moon, the one that doesn't fit, is often the most alive.
Smaller rhythms nested inside the larger ones. A way of moving through the week with intention. A daily practice you can actually sustain.
The wheel of the year
Eight spokes. Thirteen moons. One arc.
The schedule
Spring 2026 → Spring 2027
Every turning of the year — full moons, solstices, equinoxes, and the old fire festivals — in the order they arrive. Each one carries an Arc(k) pattern and a crew of three animals.
