An inspirational and informative guide taking you through the seasons with words, illustrations and ideas on how we can embrace each season to find peace, mindfulness, beauty and joy throughout the year.
 
Illustrated throughout with specially commissioned sketches, prints and paintings by the author, Ebb and Flow introduces seasonal living and explains why it is increasingly important that we reconnect with the seasons.
 
Tiffany Francis-Baker offers practical, scientific advice demonstrating the mental and physical health benefits of practicing mindful, seasonal living. Introducing Pagan and Celtic ideas, Ebb and Flow follows the Pagan "Wheel of the Year" through a nature-led calendar. Throughout, the author explains the origins of Pagan and Celtic names, traditions and events, many of which we still use, such as "equinox", and touches on the threat of climate change and seasonal shifts.
 
Each seasonal section begins with a short introduction before providing details of what to grow and forage, what wildlife you can spot and any seasonal behaviours to look out for. Crafts and seasonal activities throughout show quick ways for busy people to stay connected with the seasons, and feature spreads are scattered throughout to demonstrate lunar phases, the science of sunlight exposure, hibernation, stargazing, and more.
 
A beautiful, tactile book that will help you connect with the rhythm of the year and feel more grounded with nature.
