Episode 3: On “The Months,” by Sara Coleridge, Creative Homecoming and Finding Our Way Back to Voice

Episode 3: On “The Months,” Creative Homecoming & Finding Our Way Back to VoiceDearest enchanted one,In this gentle homecoming episode, let us sit with the quiet wisdom of “The Months” by Sara Coleridge, a poem that invites us into a slower, more attentive relationship with time.Recorded in the stillness of late January, this episode reflects on the subtle threshold between beginnings and becoming from that tender part of the year when the brightness of resolutions softens, and we begin to notice what is truly taking root.Through Coleridge’s poetry, we explore the idea that time is not something to conquer or perfect, but something to live alongside. Each month becomes a companion, teaching us patience, presence, and the quiet labour of growth.This episode is also a personal return to the podcast after a period of rest and a reflection on creativity, vulnerability, and the courage it takes to find our way back to voice. Together we consider:* What late January reveals about our inner seasons* How poetry can hold us through times of transition* Creativity as a relationship rather than a performance* Returning to creative work with curiosity instead of pressure* Living in rhythm with the months rather than racing ahead of them* Setting intentions that unfold slowly and naturallyThis year, I am exploring embodiment and crafting beauty that can be touched, shared, and experienced in real places and spaces.Upcoming offerings include:✨ Take Me To The Lakes RetreatA gathering devoted to slowness, enchantment, creativity, and deep relationship with art and landscape.Download the retreat brochure to discover a small gift card waiting for you inside. https://learn.academyoftheenchantedarts.com/f/take-me-to-the-lakes-retreat-brochure ✨ Language of Flowers Workshops (Later this year)Intimate workshops exploring symbolism, poetry, and the historic language of flowers — old ways of meaning-making gently brought back to life.A Question for You:How has 2026 begun for you?Are there words, feelings, or quiet intentions shaping your year so far?You are warmly invited to share in the comments.
