Seasons
I am always looking for new and creative ways to engage with seasons and natural transitions. This page provides the details for these ideas in case anyone wants to do the same.
BINGO
BINGO is a good activity for people who prefer a grab bag of options and little commitment.
Syllabi
Seasonal syllabi are especially attractive for folks who prefer structure and prompting.

Description
This syllabus invites you to engage more intentionally with the fall season through seasonal activities, reflective exercises, reading, and simple goals. You’ll explore personal growth through the lens of autumn: letting go, preparing for rest, savoring small experiences, and grounding yourself in the passing of time.
Objectives
Identify personal seasonal goals and revisit them
Develop small seasonal rituals
Complete weekly reflection
Engage with at least 3 fall activities
Practice patience, gentleness, and sensory awareness
Strengthen creative or reflective habits
Lessons
This syllabus has 5 time blocked lessons. Pick at least one activity and reflection to complete from each lesson, or make your own that fall under the lesson themes.
Lesson 1: Settling into the season (September - early October)
Themes: Transition, noticing, shifting routines
Activities
Winter is coming
Journaling
Journaling seasonal observations is one of the lowest effort ways to engage. You just need to remember to write things regularly.
Zines
The photo albums (below) were a great way to send my life experiences in bulk, but after a while it was clear I was using them to zine (except the Summer album which apparently I never filled out). So I started making zines instead. I either use Mixam to print these or make them at home, if I have the energy/time.
To be added.
Photo Albums
In 2025 I created photo albums containing all my adventures and connections to the seasons. This was my first full year without sharing on social media.
Fall 2025 will be added after it ends.
