Renew

In this week’s episode we chat about winter being a time to renew, and how leaning into renewal all year round can support a wild, spiralling life. Why have we chosen to talk about renewal?* The upcoming Winter Solstice signals the rebirth and renewal of the sun* The tree of December on our Rewilding Wheel is the birch, symbolically connected to fresh starts and new beginnings* Evergreen symbolism is also present this month, reminding us to look for life in the dark, and find hope in the continuation of the cycle What do we chat about?* Renewal as rebirth and regeneration* Finding strength through embracing the continual spiral of renewal* Individual and collective scale renewal, and why both can be empowering and revolutionary* How renewal is not discarding or forgetting what’s come before, but more a process of going back to the roots of something (stripping back the layers) Get full access to The Seed at thewildacademy.substack.com/subscribe
