Transforming Through the Seasons of Loss: The Journey Home to Yourself

Over these past weeks, we've explored how nature teaches us about grief and how our bodies carry wisdom through transformation. Today, we complete our circle by looking at how we integrate these teachings into our daily lives – how we learn to move with the cycles of loss and renewal rather than against them.

The Cycle of Transformation

There's a moment in Demeter's story that always moves me deeply. After her long winter of grief, after searching the world for her daughter, after bringing growth to a standstill in her pain – there comes a shift. Not a sudden spring, but a negotiated dawn. A new way of being that honours both what was lost and what remains possible.

This is the wisdom of cyclic transformation: nothing is completely lost, and nothing stays the same.
