Seasons of the Sacred offers a timeless exploration and reminder of the sacred connection between humanity and the Earth and its cycles, appealing to readers of all ages. With inspiring guidance, this little book offers accessible spiritual perspectives, inspiration, and nourishment to support individual, cultural, and planetary renewal. In particular it helps the reader to reconnect to our source and sense of belonging in relationship to the natural world. Author Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee adeptly connects the reader to the deepest envisioning of contemporary challenges. Climate catastrophe, refugees, cultural degradation, and political divisiveness are all contextualized within natural cycles of birth, loss, and transition, and the reader is guided to listen through the fear and anxiety of our age to the deeper ground of belonging that calls from even the most destitute inner and outer landscapes.
"Seasons of the Sacred is a beckoning down into the simple rhythms of nature. With his guiding eloquence, Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee moves us into conversation with the sacred, calling our awareness to the concealed gifts of each season. Drawing on the ancient poetry of Rumi, Hafiz, Julian of Norwich, Wordsworth, and others, we can't help but fall into step with the numinous found in ordinary life."

"Seasons of the Sacred invites us to remember what we have forgotten and is itself a remembering of the sacred nature of Reality. Through poems drawn from the writings of Sufi, Chinese, Persian, Indian, Japanese, Native American, and Christian mystics and poets--interwoven with woodcuts and engravings that create a pause for beholding the sacred--Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee invites us to become companions along the way. It has been such an ensouled experience to read and savor. Seasons of the Sacred--this will surely become one of the primary books used at the Center." --Peggy Whalen-Levitt, editor of Only the Sacred: Transforming Education in the Twenty-First Century, and director of the Center for Education, Imagination and the Natural World
