About The Earth Spirit Path
|
The Earth Spirit Path is a journey toward a closer relationship with Earth. It is an approach to spirituality, wellness, and sustainability shaped by the wisdom and love within the life web of the planet. It is an approach to environmentalism and healing as something we learn from Earth rather than something we do to Earth.
We honor the seasons and their ever-shifting energies. we seek guidance in nature and the basic forces within. The basic first step is: Go outside. Go outside and listen to the land beneath you, the skies above you, and the seas that surround you, listen to the Stars, Sun, Moon, and Earth. Let yourself be guided home by their gentle, loving voices. |

The Wheel of The Year
We seek to align our lives with the energetic ebb and flow of the seasons. Beginning in February with the quickening deep in the earth, we celebrate First Spring Light. As the fertility awakens in spring, we first celebrate the Spring Equinox in March and as the energy matures with the awakening of summer's passion, we celebrate Summer's Dawn in May. At the peak of summer, we celebrate the joy and exuberance of the longest day at Summer Solstice in June. And as the year begins to ripen, we celebrate First Harvest in August, followed by the more abundant harvest celebrations of Autumn Equinox in September. As the year turns toward the darkness of winter, we celebrate Hallows' Eve in October, and at the peak of darkness we celebrate the rebirth of the sun at Winter Solstice.
