Living with the Seasons for self healing

This path was revealed to me while working with yoga groups in Eftalou, Lesvos—a sacred and ancient healing place. There, I felt the healing resonance of natural cycles, and the seasons.

Back in Amsterdam, I began offering seasonal treatments aligned with the alchemy of time—supporting clients to move with the emotions and energy of each season. This evolved into group retreats, and eventually into a healing approach.

Katerina Panagiotopoulou

I am a sun worshiper and a nature lover. In Lesvos, my treatment room is under the trees, and Sofia the cat is my assistant. In Oslo, I walk the river each day, learning from the trees and their seasons. I am blessed to work and walk with the 5 elements—protectors and creators in every tradition I’ve studied, from the I Ching to shamanism. I believe in the simplicity of love: to make someone happy. Imagine if we all did.

I was born in Thessaloniki, Hellas, in 1959: the year of the pink Cadillac, and Tibet's occupation by China. My mother was a pink cadillac woman, and my father a saint. They met during the war, in hospital. She a nurse, and he, a lawyer that lost one eye. She became his eye.You could not tell by looking at my father, so you would not know why she was driving the car, and making more money than he. She went to the top of her profession and lived to be 97! I did not notice that anything was different about my family. At school, they asked: What does your father do? No one asked about my mother! I realized much later how much work these small and great people had done for me. I want to pass so much love that I was given on to all beings coming after me.

The war they fought was not talked about. It was the elephant in the room, the thing we were grateful we did not have.

With mother at work, I was raised by her mother, a small person dressed in black. She smelled of oranges and cooked delicious food. She told me about being thrown out of their home in Turkey, how the Turkish people helped them get in a crowded boat in the middle of the night, and how women were treated in her world.

I was left alone, in the good and bad sense of aloneness. I had a great love and ease with the natural world, and spend my summers on 2 huge fig trees, who taught me kindness and generosity. The rest of the time I was with the sea, who taught me playfulness, trusting, ease, how to live in a non verbal and timeless world. I

By the time the junta was overthrown and flower power hit Ellas, in 1974, I was 15 years old. Thessaloniki was a grey city, people still in shock by war. The holocaust took 70.000 people, more than half the city, is still not talked about today. I remember it as a thickness in the air we were breathing. Invisible, yet pressing on our hearts.

We lived on the 7th floor, and had a big balcony looking down to a street with a youth hostel. And there, came the magic bus! In came the colors, the smells, the music! In my uniform world, came all possibilities of shapes, forms, hair styles, lifestyles! I was so impressed, I used to follow these people around town. As soon as I could, I got into the bus to India. Overland. I travelled with my friend Philip, in 1978, before we lost Afganistan and Persia, just on time to take a glance at these very old cultures, the beauty of art and architecture, the diversity.

I was searching for earth traditions. I needed to learn about the solar system, and the universe. I was searching for my place on earth, to be accepted and cherished by the earth, to be as wise and beautifull, special and real, as everything else.

So I got lost. I was lost. I could not find a place to be and something meaningful to do. In 1979, being back in Thessaloniki, I started studying the classics, anything I could find about earth traditions, Tao, shamanism. Many of my friends were getting into heroin, loosing their honesty, their beauty, sometimes their life. My parents were silently co suffering with me. They said go! Go wherever you like and study whatever you like! I knew some women musicians in London, and stayed with them, studying art...... until in the summer of 1981, during a very rainy camping trip in Scotland with my friend Sally, I was called by acupuncture!

We were camping in the island of Sky, a very silly thing to do, even when you are 20. The word acupuncture was coming from the Sky. Bells were ringing. I hag finally arrived home! I had a place to go, and something to do!

5 element acupuncture is practical spirituality. You are present and inquiring, sensing, touching, being being......at work. Emerging, exploring the holographic field of life. I went on to study classical acupuncture and NLP, Shen Dao acupressure, Feng Shui, Chinese herbs. My first meeting with geomancy was in Sedona, in New Mexico, which then highlighted the sacred sites in England. I was an assistant in Feng Shui Network international between 1996 and the year 200, andtought Feng Shu in Ayhens between 1998 and 2005. Geomancy opened my eyes to the sacred sites of Hellas. Olympos, the Holy mountain, Pilion, places where we are coming into color, that make us more human.

All this led to Living with the seasons: I bought land in Lesvos where I aquired my roots. Being with 25 olive and oak trees, my sisters. The motions of the moon, ebb and flow of all life is deeply healing. Living with the Seasons, is coming from mother earth, nourishes, guides, protects. Whenever I can, I take other people with me, I love to show them the treasures I discovered.

If you feel drawn to walk with the elements, to receive their gifts, or simply to reconnect to what’s real—welcome.
Imagine if we all did.

We have learned a lot, and we need to practice- We will be working in teams, and be alert for local networking. The seasons are our guides and benefactors, and we will be loving them, in celebrations and offerings of song, art, , dance, prayer, presence, grief and honest expression.

"Winter speaks in hushes and sighs.
Beneath the frozen soil, the seed dreams.
This is not death—it is depth.
A time for listening, not launching."

Seasonal Message

Winter is the season of the Water Element—the deep well of ancestral wisdom, the darkness that nourishes roots, the pause before emergence. In a world addicted to light and productivity, winter invites us to become quiet, to rest, to trust the unseen.

Water teaches us about essence—not performance, but presence. Not force, but flow.
It whispers: “Stop pushing. Start listening.”

In this chapter, we begin to attune to that whisper.
We make space for restoration, silence, and slow, honest reflection.

Elemental Teaching: The Water Within

Water governs willpower, rest, and the bones in Chinese medicine.
When in balance, it offers quiet strength, adaptability, and endurance.
When out of balance, we may feel fearful, restless, or frozen in overwhelm.

Winter is not a mistake.
It is not something to escape.
It is part of the cycle. Part of you.

Practice: Dreaming with the Darkness

Materials: A candle, a blanket, and time.

Prepare a quiet space. Light a single candle.
Wrap yourself gently—invite stillness in.
Ask: What is longing to be dreamed through me—not done, not achieved, but dreamed?
Let the question linger. Don’t force answers. Let silence be your companion.

Write or draw whatever arises.

Embodied

Sit or lie down.
Place one hand on your belly, one on your heart.
Breathe in for four counts, exhale for six.
Repeat for five minutes.
With each exhale, release a pressure to do.
With each inhale, invite permission to be.

Reflective Journal

What parts of me feel ready to rest?
What am I afraid will happen if I stop?
Where is life dreaming me forward from the roots?

Closing Blessing

May you remember that darkness is not the absence of light,
but the presence of something deeper.
May you rest like the seed beneath snow—
alive, invisible, becoming.

Looking Ahead

In Spring, Wood will awaken the sprouts.
But not yet.
Now we rest.6

Fire — The Element of Connection and Blossoming

In the season of summer, the fire within us stirs and expands.
This element tends the warmth of our Heart, the discernment of the Small Intestine, the protection of the Pericardium, and the orchestration of the Triple Heater.

Fire invites us to open, to shine, to connect deeply—with ourselves, each other, and the vastness of life. It is joy, yes—but not the fleeting kind. It’s the joy of being met, being felt, being in resonance with the who

When have you felt most radiantly alive in connection with others? What warms your inner fire?

Summer: The Season of Expansion and Sensuality

In the embrace of summer, we turn to the South—toward warmth, movement, and vitality.
We are stirred by the colour red, the pulse of bitter flavours, the vibration of laughter, the bloom of flowers, the awakening of attraction, and the essence of joy.

Summer is not shy. It reveals. It invites us to be seen, to open our petals, to feel pleasure in our aliveness.

Reflection:

How does your body respond to summer’s energy? Where do you feel the fire of attraction, expression, or blooming?

Fire = The Art of Being With

Fire teaches us how to be with—not just beside each other, but in resonance.
This is not just about love, but about presence:
the ability to feel and be felt,
to speak from truth, and
to receive the truth of another without shutting down.

When Fire is balanced in us, we radiate warmth and receive warmth. We become bridges of belonging.

Reflection :

Where in your life do you feel seen and received? How do you offer that warmth to others?

When the Fire in Us Glows Steady

A balanced fire warms without burning.

The Heart pulses with quiet joy.
The Pericardium (our heart’s guardian) allows us to feel safely open.
The Triple Heater harmonizes our inner worlds, bringing peace to body, mind, and spirit.
The Small Intestine discerns what nourishes and what does not—with clarity and trust.

In this state, we feel at home in connection. We can risk being close without losing ourselves.

What does a “steady inner fire” feel like for you? Where in your life do you feel safe enough to soften?

When the Fire Flickers or Flares Too High

Fire out of balance may show up as:

Anxiety or emotional flatness
A sense of not being able to connect—even when surrounded by people
Oversharing or guarding the heart too tightly
Trust that’s either withheld… or given too quickly
Difficulty sensing what is truly nourishing

Sometimes, the fire within us burns too hot. Other times, it nearly goes out. Both are calls for gentle tending.

Reflection :

Which imbalance feels more familiar—overexposure or withdrawal? What helps you return to your center?

The Heart: Sovereign of the Inner Kingdom

The Heart is not a ruler of power, but of presence.
It governs not through force, but through compassion.

When the Heart is at peace, all parts of us find their rhythm.
When the Heart is troubled, the whole inner realm feels the dissonance.

The Heart knows how to listen, to harmonize, to hold joy and sorrow side by side.

Reflection :

What kind of sovereign is your Heart right now? What would it say if you asked it how it’s doing?

Earth: Centering & Nourishment

Weekly Inquiries for Living with Earth:

What truly nourishes me?
How do I give and receive care?
What is my relationship to mother, to mothering?
Can I distinguish between appetite and craving?
Do I worry out of love or habit?
Where in my life am I over-responsible?
How do I restore balance in my body and life?
Do I feel at home in myself?
Can I soften into equanimity?
What helps me feel grounded and whole?

Earth speaks in rhythms and recipes, in belly laughter and quiet knowing.

Metal: Clarity & Release

Weekly Inquiries for Living with Metal:

What is ready to be released?
How do I grieve—honestly, ritually, completely?
What brings clarity to my mind and breath?
Where are my boundaries weak, rigid, or wise?
What values do I hold sacred?
Can I find beauty in simplicity?
What does my inner judge say—and is it true?
How do I experience gratitude in the midst of loss?
What do I treasure most in my practice and life?
What remains when all else is stripped away?

Metal speaks through clean air, crisp endings, and the soft gleam of what’s essential.opening invocation

Opening Invocation

We are calling on the crossings of seasons to honor this crossing into communion with sacred Earth—

Not from a distance,
but from being.
From within a unified Earth field,
more generous, wise, and forgiving than ever before.

This is not a declaration. This is a remembering. A return. A vow to walk again as Earth-belonging beings.

The Cross Ritual of the Five Elements

To honor the sacred relationships between soul, body, spirit, and the seasonal wisdom of the Earth, we offer this simple ritual:

Forehead (Fire):
“I honor the soul rising with spirit fire, seeking the sun of consciousness.”
Belly (Water):
“I honor the essence, deep and fertile, the source of form and life.”
Right Shoulder (Wood):
“I honor the individuated soul, growing, becoming, reaching toward the light.”
Left Shoulder (Metal):
“I honor the body and breath, returning to nourish the Earth.”
Hands to Heart (Earth):
“I honor the center where all returns, the great crossing of love and time.”

You may perform this gesture with breath and stillness, as a daily practice or as a sacred act of relational return.

The Earth Seasons Covenant: A Living Invitation to Sacred Adulthood

Vision
We, children of Earth and kin to all life, recognize that true community cannot exist apart from Nature. We affirm that our healing, our governance, our economies, and our futures are inseparable from the living cycles of Earth herself.

We commit to realigning human systems with Earth’s seasons, tides, and metabolic rhythms. We recognize trauma not as failure, but as an invitation to deeper relational maturity. We remember: Earth herself was born of collision, rupture, and renewal. So too must we.

This Covenant is a living seed. It invites cities, communities, organizations, and individuals to return to the heartbeat of life, to steward places, protect forests, restore waters, and build societies where Earth can thrive.

Principles

Sacred Relationality
Every being, human and more-than-human, is a participant in Earth’s living web. Healing must restore relational belonging across species, waters, soils, and skies.
Seasonal Alignment
We pledge to live, plan, and govern in rhythm with Earth’s seasons: allowing time for growth, ripening, harvest, rest, and regeneration.
Rights of Nature
We affirm that forests, rivers, mountains, and ecosystems are living beings with inherent rights to exist, regenerate, and flourish.
Collective Healing
We commit to healing trauma not only within human communities but within the greater body of Earth, recognizing the grief of colonization, extraction, and desecration.
Sacred Adulthood
We step beyond the immaturity of domination and exploitation into the maturity of stewardship, reciprocity, and joyful service to life.

Commitments

Seasonal Observances: Honor the solstices, equinoxes, and cross-quarter days with communal reflection, gratitude, and Earth-centered ceremonies.
Place-Based Protection: Commit to protecting at least one living place (a forest, river, wetland, meadow) through legal rights, stewardship, or restoration.
Ecological Governance: Embed seasonal rhythms and rights of nature into local policies, urban planning, and community decision-making.
Living Economy: Transition toward bioregional, regenerative economies that respect Earth’s carrying capacities and cycles.
Educational Awakening: Teach seasonal living, ecological literacy, and relational healing in schools, workplaces, and communities.

Practical First Steps

Form a local Earth Seasons Circle to study, practice, and advocate for seasonal living.
Identify one local ecosystem in need of protection; begin the process of legal recognition and stewardship.
Create seasonal ceremonies that bring your community back into relationship with Earth.
Lobby local governments to adopt Rights of Nature ordinances.
Share stories of collective healing that center land, waters, and more-than-human kin.

Invitation

This Covenant is a living document, not a fixed rule. It will grow and change with Earth’s unfolding seasons and our collective maturation.

We invite you—cities, communities, councils, schools, healers, citizens, elders, children—to step across this threshold.

Come home to Earth.
Come home to the seasons.
Come home to your sacred adulthood.

The Earth is waiting.

Signed: [Space for individuals, communities, cities, organizations to sign their commitment]

“Living with the Seasons is not a return to the past. It is a return to the living memory of Earth, breathing us into the future.”

Leave a Comment / Uncategorized / By katerina

Healthy anger is assertiveness, confidence in saying no and having clear boundaries. It is determined direction, commitment, expansiveness, light hearted expansiveness. At times of growth it gives people the strength to separate from the mother or carers. How to support the explosive growth of children and especially of girls, so that assertiveness, strength and confidence are developed.

If this spontaneous assertiveness is compromised, your space and boundaries are not protected, you let someone push you to do things you don’t want to do, you may feel frustrated anger. But negative anger does not help you expand and grow. It is like poison.

Being angry is like taking poison and expecting that someone else will die from it. The Dalai Lama

People suffer immensely from anger and the inability to forgive.

It is the most painful emotion because of its attacking nature. That makes it have so many derivatives like hatred, rage, resentment, hostility, jealousy, envy, frustration, control, guilt and shame. People often find it easier to attack themselves than others, and find it very difficult to forgive themselves. Becoming aware of self blame may be the beginning of forgiveness.

Byron Bays founded school called the Healing journey based on forgiveness after she had cured herself from cancer. She discovered that forgiveness redeems the soul and body from toxic emotions

The Dalai Lama, has become a world spiritual leader after the occupation of Tibet. As the 14th reincarnation of the Buddha of Compassion he teaches compassion as the highest form of love and forgiveness as the highest virtue. When asked who is his greatest spiritual teacher, he said: “Mao Che Tung”. Explosive growth

Living with the seasons. Spring time

Today, the 24 April 25 we tune into the resonance of spring, to explore growth in nature, as it reflects our inner and true nature.

Springtime is explosive, is in love, going into unknown territory, longing to generate life. This is the tree element, that suddenly appears out of the blue long winter, out of still waters, flowering, mating, attracting, manifesting beauty, becoming visible in brilliance, reminding us of how mother earth planned life perfectly stunning and all inclusive.

Every little insect, bird, mushroom, animal, having a function and a purpose in the forest. And…

Ooops! What about us?

We are at a crossroads, waking up from a dream into a nightmare. In our cells and in our souls the memory of human benevolence, the capacity for artistic expression and beauty is fresh and beloved. In our screens and newspapers, our cities and oceans there is dis ease and destruction.

How can we tune into and align with nature’s innocent creative longing for itself? How can we believe in renewal, the now that contains future possibilities, how can we forgive ourselves and our ancestors for betraying and abandoning that what is true and sacred?

I am inviting you to listen to the rhythm of earth through springtime birdsong and let the song guide you to forest which lives beyond human intervention. Explore your place within the forest that also includes healthy degrees of comfort, technology, and architecture. Where the earth is proud of the earthling, where her lessons are being acted on. Take root in that place and from there let’s

Visit some of the places we have been in:

1) Growth in expense of other species. Growing in numbers, volume, size, power, dominance.

2) Growing your digital territory. Your list, clientele, following, influence, space in the cloud.

3) Growth based on lack, using the art of manifestation and the law of attraction to score, fulfil only personal desire.

And the forest is showing us another kind of growth:

4) Growing collectively and organically being functional in an interdependent, ecosystem, gravitating to fertile soil.

5) Developing relationships in integrity, becoming more human, maturing into care and generosity, cultivating your personality to express our soul, being nourished by culture and friendship.

4) Developing warrior-ship, protecting what is sacred, expanding roots into your earthly lineage. Rites of passage, initiating into changing forms.Healing circles: Ignite collective intelligence

This Covenant is a living document, not a fixed rule. It will grow and change with Earth’s unfolding seasons and our collective maturation.

We invite you—cities, communities, councils, schools, healers, citizens, elders, children—to step across this threshold.

Come home to Earth.
Come home to the seasons.
Come home to your sacred adulthood.

The Earth is waiting.

Signed: [Space for individuals, communities, cities, organizations to sign their commitment]

To solve a problem, you need to solve the root. Examine the basis of everything carefully, to see if it has been correctly placed in the beginning. All other things seem to be a consequence of this basis and they stay in agreement, even if they are wrongly placed. So, we can keep making mistakes until we come back to correct the first mistake. Cratilos, p.436
Where attention goes, energy follows.
Your best medicine is being yourself, your own frequency, your personal signature. Your own qualities, your song, self-realization, embodiment.
Rewiring neuro pathways is achieved by daily happiness.
To heal, you treat the spirit
Trauma, personal and collective holds back unfoldment and gets us trapped in repetition. Have compassion for the whole of humanity, predators and victims.
General factors of dis-ease: Environment, climate, diet, exercise, culture.
Creation is intrinsically perfect.
The work of the physician is to remove any obstacles for nature to unfold.

What affects people’s health.

1.nourishment

2.fresh air

3.contact

4.movement

5.time to live

6.Creativity in self-expression

7.Exploitation; Overwork and underpay 8. work that is not satisfying or interesting

Addiction: Trying to compensate for undernourishment with fast energy boosts. Self-medicating with sugar and wheat, alcohol, brown sugar, adrenaline.

Collective trauma of fragmentation is bound on the collective structures of nations, borders, money, property, succession, can only be achieved by creative social structures who are in the holographic unity, in the spirit world. That happens when we are joining efforts in cooperation to take care of all nature, all people.

Collective problems need to be solved collectively

A famous study of strong health and longevity called the blue zones, places where the above factors are solved and suggests a movement to collaborate for more blue zones. Another study study called a new history of humanity suggests that the main collective trauma in our time is the sameness of (lack of) civilization and culture. The people who are taking the last drops of water and resources from our planet right now all wear the same clothes, have the same traumas and convictions, the same education and level of development. Just like cancer cells, these men are owning all the land and all the money, even after they die. They refuse to die, and so live at the expense of biodiversity.

A new history of humanity shows that This happened in the 1700s, and has been a very rapid development. When we allegorize what happened on earth in the last 300 years as cancer, we have some principles that are observed in laboratory.

Cancer cells will eat each other at the end. Biodiversity is self-regulated and ever transforming, and will reincarnate. Trauma can only exist at the expense of life. It has no spirit of its own.

Gabor Mate in his study the myth of normality is calling this phenomenon the last 5 minutes out of an hour of human development. A new history of humanity suggests that there are no norms, and nature is the creator of a humanity as wonderful and magical as all other species. We need to understand that inventing norms for nature is a useless mind set. We need to be not knowing about diversity.

Part of the loss of ecosystems we call colonisation, which is too nice a word for the genocides and plundering done to people and nature.

As the Dalai Lama reminds us: There is nothing normal about war. War is a terrible crime. Tibetan culture also has shown us that nature is what we are, and there is a deep wisdom and compassion, perfection in what makes us. That is what the nature traditions followed, not dogmatically but intimately and adventurously. That is the shortcut we are offered and challenged with today, to each one of us come back to the source of life and be nourished by our own essence, by being ourselves.

When there are more embodied people we can divert our attention to restoration, not of societies, but of ecosystems which include these societies. I cannot see how this will happen without thriving organisations. Fragmentation is over, competition is a false concept, and we need to connect, each one in our place.

A famous study of strong health and longevity called the blue zones, places where the above factors are solved and suggests a movement to collaborate for more blue zones.Healers, medics, psychologists, we need to be honest about what we are healing. Coming from the need of the diseased person, we need to be solving the root of problems.

A movement for real food in schools, hospitals, public places, work places. Educate children about biodiversity, not as an idealized concept, but as their true nature, the natural state of things. Teach them how to take care of nature. Get money into biodiversity farming.

Living with the seasons course

Five online teachings within the course of one year, to receive the healing power of the seasons.

Every season affects our outer and inner world in profound ways, activating processes that touch every individual differently. Becoming aware of these processes and their emotional-mental-spiritual dimensions is an ongoing healing journey where health, life, and human development meet.

Spring is freeing the flow of life, removing pain and stagnation, promoting growth and development. Transforming anger into forgiveness and compassion. Aligning our dreams and visions with the optimizing life force. Neck release acupressure treatment to relax and open the liver and gall bladder meridians.

Summer is the time of expression and discharge. Time to transform empty excitement into joyous love and free our heart and our relationships. Develop your communication skills and learn bodywork and meditation to open the heart.

Late summer is the time of body-mind nourishment. Sympathy and worry transforms into positive thought. Not knowing, innocence and curiosity are a cure for dogmatic thinking.

Learn a special diet to heal obesity and develop the sense of taste, and bodywork to connect body and mind.

Autumn is the time of letting go. Grief transforms into gratitude. The lungs and colon are the organs that aid inspiration, embodiment, meditation. We will work with breathing and more ways to clean the body.

Winter is time of storage. Through the preservation of life, fear transforms into the wisdom of the survival instinct. Become familiar with willpower in Taoist alchemy. Bodywork and warming on the back.

In the night of winter, when water gravitates back to the source,

her invisible liquid arms

are sculpting us with unyielding softness

into a new unknown day

In our collective dreaming

new worlds emerge

weaving into bridges and coincidences

filling up the gaps with powerful ease,

becoming answers to longings

re pairing our souls into alchemy

In the night,

stardust is falling

through the fingers of sacred geometry

building our

Fluid, fluorescent harms of eternity
