How does living in deep relationship to the seasons and cycles of nature impact your sense of belonging on the earth?

Today's guest, co-founder of Moon Seeds planner - Erica Ela Bartoli, spent some formative years traveling and living in intimate connection with the elements, first in a yurt and later as she traveled around Africa, with the sky often as her ceiling.

During these "rewilding" years, she began to more deeply connect with the lunar cycles (new and full moons), the seasons, and her own body.

Eventually, she began leading moon circles, and from there found her way to co-creating this planner which got her more in touch with tracking her menstrual cycle and realizing how aligned cyclical living was with her lifestyle of seasonal living.

Her story is hers to tell and in this conversation, you'll hear how life-changing synching to her cycle has been, and why she's chosen to continue living in a yurt with her children in the forests of Oregon.

We also talk about the history and practice of holding red tent spaces in large gatherings or in communities, what they entail, why they're important and so much more!
