With all of the conveniences and pressures of modern life, it's so easy to get caught up in endless cycles of busyness and never ending to do lists. When we operate in this way, we override the natural cycles. We lose touch with our connection to the land and our own innate wildness. We forget how to live in balance and reciprocity with nature.For thousands of years, our ancestors depended on the cycles and seasons, and it feels more important than ever to come back into sacred communion with these natural rhythms. A rebalancing is needed on the planet and within ourselves.To receive Elena's free gifts, please make sure to register for the Dreaming the Ancestors mailing list here: https://tara-wild.com/dreaming-the-ancestors
