Hello and welcome to a meet-head hippie podcast. I'm so glad to be here. It's been so long. I am Emily Schramm and just so

grateful for this conversation I'm about to share with you. This is with Winsome Williams, who has been on

the podcast before talking about farming, but today we're going to take it a totally different direction

and talk about

the 13 moon calendar. So the Mayan calendar and understanding how to connect and deepen our relationship

with nature can maybe be as simple as seeing the calendar or time a little bit differently.

So when we think about our current calendar,

which would be called the Gregorian calendar, there's a lot of reasons it exists and it's also really not quite in sync if you noticed. There's 28 days in February and 31 days in August and there's changes year after year

but that's really not natural and the original calendar or maybe not the original but the calendar

that has been followed and really is so ancient and so directly connected with the moon cycles and nature overall is the Mayan

calendar which allows us to see the interplay of how these elements can help us anchor in

and transition and then in addition to that Winsome has put together a free calendar for all of you

so that you can print it off and follow. So today's conversation is all about how to follow it,

what it looks like, how to explore it, how to navigate it. If you want to watch this visually,

just go to my YouTube, Emily Schramm, on YouTube, and you'll be

able to see the visuals. So it's a little bit more fun to engage with. But the reason I'm the

most excited about this is because not only is it really teaching me about transition, so right

now we're in Earth. And then on August 8th, which is the best day, we transition to metal and we're in a season

of metal, which I'm very unfamiliar with. But every single day is a chakra. So it all spirals up to the

heart chakra. So it's a really beautiful way for us to understand just a new perspective to really challenge our belief system of what time is and is supposed

to be very exploratory and fun and bring a sense of play. So please enjoy this conversation

with Winsome. She does such a good job explaining it. Go follow the 13 moon calendar on Instagram. That's how you'll
