An inspirational illustrated guide to embracing each season and finding peace, mindfulness, and joy throughout the year, "Ebb and Flow" introduces seasonal living and explains why it is increasingly vital for us to reconnect with the seasons. Illustrated throughout with newly commissioned sketches, prints, and paintings by the author, Tiffany Francis-Baker offers practical, science-backed advice demonstrating the mental and physical health benefits of practicing mindful, seasonal living. Following the Pagan 'Wheel of the Year through a nature-led calendar, Francis-Baker explains the origins of seasonal Pagan and Celtic names, traditions, and events. She outlines the short- and long-term benefits of leading slower lives and encourages us to enjoy closer connections with nature and healthier relationships with our own well-being. Each section begins with an introduction to the season, then details what you can grow and forage, the wildlife you can spot, and which seasonal behaviors to look out for. Crafts and seasonal activities demonstrate quick ways to stay connected with the seasons, even at our busiest times, and illustrated spreads explain lunar phases, hibernation, stargazing, and more. With beautiful images, inspiring words, and imaginative seasonal crafts, this tactile book has something to help everyone connect with the rhythm of the year and feel more grounded with nature.
