September in the portal – Earthen Body

This month, at its heart, is an invitation to accept and prepare for life’s inevitable changes with grace. September is a bridge between late summer and the early shifts towards autumn – a preparatory period for the shedding and transformation to come. Observing this shift in nature can prepare us for our own transitions.

There is always something to be learned from observing the earth. We too can take the things that served us in a one season and turn them into wisdom that fertilizes the ground at our feet. We can alchemize our heaviness into the gift of nourishment. The earth is a mirror into the Self. The wider world is a doorway to our inner worlds. 

The Earthen Body brings us in close contact with the always changing and uncontrollable nature of our external and internal worlds, bringing these once dissonant parts of ourselves into harmony. Using the earth to understand ourselves, we are able to practice falling in love with life itself. If you’d like to learn more on what the Earthen Body has to offer this month and receive questions to stir your spirit in this conversation, take a moment to watch the welcome video that’s open for everyone here.

You can find the daily practice, called Be Slow To Respond, in the portal now. In moving slowly, or stopping completely, we return to the flow of life with more presence.
