This resource is designed to help you reflect on your needs and intentions as you move through the autumn season, arriving at the winter solstice. These questions may lead you through a process that feels complete in itself, or they may offer one piece of the collage you are making as you engage with life through thoughtful reflection and intention.
As we move through late August, September, October, November, December, you'll notice the qualities of daylight, dark night, and outdoor colours shifting. What else do you notice moves and shifts? Things in the external world? Things in your inner landscape?
Feel welcome to choose time frames for reflection that work for you — whether considering the whole season or smaller periods like weeks, lunar cycles, or meaningful dates. Please don't put any pressure on yourself. This is about gently exploring, planting seeds, nourishment. There is no rigidly "one right way" to proceed.
Celebrate and care for the gentle curiosity and the desire to live thoughtfully that are alive in you.
You might want to work through a meta-level overview of late August through the last day of autumn first, then return to consider smaller periods of time. Or you might prefer to adapt questions to focus on shorter timeframes that feel more manageable.
This approach honours that there are many ways to engage meaningfully with seasonal transition. Maybe you would like to create a collage or photo story or spreadsheet or craft alongside these reflections. Follow the creative forms and expressions that want to be followed.
Adapt and modify in ways that feel right for you, that work well for you. This is your process of engaging with life with thoughtful reflection, intention, and an orientation toward what feels meaningful, important, and helpful during this particular time of year.
