Reinventing the Wheel
Lunar in Nature is an experience for those who want to show up to the mystery. We will grow and learn together as our journey unfolds, co-creating with the phases, the seasons, and one another. We'll move through a full annual cycle together, taking time at each solar station to explore (and generate) story, myth, and symbol, work with the corresponding lunar phase, look at art together and create art together, dream, make magic, learn, and grow.

"April, I just started using your calendar (recommended by two friends) to help me better understand myself to then move forward in my own evolution and finding peace. I really love what you are doing. I think many people need this kind of practice/understanding."
"The Moon is my Calendar has become my daily touchstone to observe the connection between the lunar cycle and how the energy shifts within me. It’s bringing alive my capacity to use that energy in ways that encourage my planning and visioning for my personal and professional life."
