Align Your Life with the Wheel of the Year with Melody LeBaron
There’s no denying that we now live in difficult times:
the pandemic has revealed the fault lines—and the fragility—in all of our systems
families and friendships have been fractured by polarization
extreme weather events are everywhere now, with fires and floods raging around the world
many countries are embroiled in civil war, and others (like my own) are on the brink of civil war
And,
for the first time, our Arctic and oceans have now become a carbon source rather than a carbon sink, foretelling more challenges ahead.
The list goes on.
As I’ve recovered from my own significant emotional, physical and spiritual challenges in these last 6 months, I have been in the inquiry of how I can help.
What can I share that will support you in becoming even more deeply rooted, resourced and resilient?
Over the past 20 years, I’ve cultivated a deep experience in nature based spirituality, including rigorous spiritual training: a 5-year Irish shaman apprenticeship, and facilitator certification in Hermetics, Natural Rhythms and Medicine Walk. As a result, I’ve developed a meta-perspective for attuning to the macrocosm, as well as a daily practice of harmonizing my inner microcosm.
Put simply, here is what I have learned.
In nature, there lies a path forward even if the way seems obscured.
Is it true that you currently seek…
a way forward for yourself in these troubling times?
synchronization with the healing powers of nature?
a sense of security and safety within yourself?
the ability to create sanctuary inside your own home?
ways that work to transform loss and cultivate creativity?
If the answer to any of these questions is “yes,” then “Align Your Life With the Wheel of the Year” may be right for you, right now!
Our Wheel of the Year Container
In this year-long virtual program, for both women and men, we’ll meet as a collective on 9 occasions. (Yes, replays will be available if you can’t play with us live!)
Each of our sessions will take place on or before the holy days, each marking a specific rite of passage.

What you can expect in this course
In our 3-hour sessions, we’ll experience
movement, dance, breath work
personal clearing, creativity, and community.
During this program, your own visions and intentions will be activated and resourced through
reconnection, reclaiming, remembering
rebalancing and re-wilding our bodies
reminding ourselves of our deep connection with Gaia and all of life
I don’t believe in appropriation, so I will be using the directions and elements associated with the astrological wheel of the year, not the Native American or any other indigenous traditional associations. This will provide additional support for those of you who are learning to work with the Elements and the Astrological Archetypes.
Together, we’ll actively decolonize our individual and collective consciousness, working to
repair cultural appropriation
reclaim our roots and kinship
increase ease for your powerful contribution
We ARE the solutions the world needs now.
Throughout the turning year, I’ll host a private Facebook group for sharing resources and offer ongoing support in between Holy Days.
I hold the circle of our community as sacred space.
In our circle…
we journey within in order to integrate all aspects of our selves and our lives, even the uncomfortable ones.
In our circle...
You will be safe to remove any invisible facades or masks in order to be fully authentic, visible, seen and heard.
In our circle…
we remember our true nature, our purpose, our magic.
In order to more fully receive the energies of alignment with the wheel, you will receive relevant, engaging material from me before each session. These offerings will include:
a summary of the meaning of each holy day,
journaling questions,
creativity tips on how to deepen your own experience of the directions, elements and wheel of the year,
and suggestions on how you might create your own ceremony during the 3-day window of each of these sacred timings.
By the end of the course, you’ll have a living resource to which you can refer in future years.
Again, if you choose to “Align Your Life With the Wheel of the Year” with me as your guide, you’ll receive:
27 hours of engaging, relevant content delivered over nine 3-hour sessions
the ability to move your life forward authentically and in alignment with the cycles of nature and the Astrological Wheel of the Year.
access to our private Facebook group
added support and resources in response to your needs and those of the community
Your investment?
A magical $333
Remember, this course begins Sept. 22 and space is limited, so you’ll want to act fast to secure your spot.
Sound good?
Please email me at melody.lebaron@gmail.com for payment details.
Here are the dates our scheduled zoom sessions. Except for this first one, they’ll all be several days BEFORE the actual 3-day window for each turn on the wheel. This is so you’ll be prepared to do a private ceremony for yourself, or a public one for your community during the actual 3-day window. All zoom sessions 6-9pm Eastern. (and yes, they will be recorded!)
