From the End arises the Beginning.
Time is not linear. Time curves.
So why are you still using a linear calendar and pretending that you can chart your life in a straight line?
If you are going to do some serious solar-cycle reflections, and if you care about aligning with Earth Time, not just Clock Time, this is one of the most powerful and substantial processes out there.
An Ancient Temporal Technology
ReCrafted for Navigating Contemporary Chaos
A Proven Tool to Ground, Reflect, Discern, Compost, and Grow.
“A linear society that thinks in terms of ‘cradle to grave’ will have an endpoint. It won’t be sustained. However, a culture that thinks cyclically and reinvests all ‘waste’ into its livelihood will continue like a circle, it will never end.”
— Lyla June Johnson,
Indigenous environmental scientist, educator, and poet of Diné (Navajo), Tsétsêhéstâhese (Cheyenne) and European lineages

More testimonials
“Using a circular calendar helped me see patterns in my life that I wouldn't have seen otherwise. It's inherently a more natural and spiritual process than using a traditional calendar. It's a great tool for reflecting on and then re-imagining how we want to live our lives and where we want to put our energy.
I love participating in these gatherings on the solstices and equinoxes.“

“Everything about this process - the workbook, the sessions, the community, Sara Jolena's insights, and the incredible warmth and strength we garnered - has helped me. Months after participating in the Annual Circling Through Time Ritual, I am still using circular calendars and they are helping me to see the patterns in my garden, my client's lives, and in my family life.”
— Krystina F.

“I’ve been using the circular calendar for nearly two years with my garden and with my family. It has been so fascinating and helpful!
Now, as we enter this tragic and painful time, when I am filled with so much grief, I am grateful for the lessons this tool keeps offering us. Seeing the patterns more clearly helps us understand how they and we can change.”
