FREE SEASONAL TEACHING + RITUAL

Harvest Season and the Ancestors

Gratitude, Grief, and the Beginning of the Ancestral Season

with Ro Marlen

In this class we’ll explore:

  • Why gratitude and grief belong together at harvest — and what becomes possible when we allow ourselves to receive what has ripened while also acknowledging what has been lost, unfinished, or must now be released.

  • How the seasonal descent is felt in the body and why learning to recognize these shifts can help us meet change with greater Ground and Capacity rather than pushing against the natural movement of the year.

  • How harvest opens the ancestral season and why our relationship with those who came before us is part of a much larger ecology of belonging to Land, Place, community, and generations.

  • What European earth-honoring traditions can teach us about reciprocity, remembrance, and participation without needing to recreate the past or adopt practices that are not ours.

And a simple embodied practice and harvest ritual
for meeting this threshold in your own life and beginning the darker half of the year in relationship rather than isolation.

Teacher

Ro Marlen

Wisdom teacher, spiritual guide, and teacher of embodied ancestral practice

Ro Marlen has spent more than thirty years studying how human beings heal, orient, belong, and participate wisely in the living world. Her work draws from European ancestral wisdom, earth-honoring cosmologies, somatic practice, seasonal rhythm, and decades of direct experience accompanying people through periods of profound change.

At the center of her teaching is a simple understanding: we are not separate from the places, seasons, bodies, relationships, and larger living systems in which our lives unfold. Much of what modern culture treats as an individual problem becomes more understandable when we restore these relationships and learn again how to listen to the body, the Land, and the rhythms that have always shaped human life.

Here to guide those who live at the threshold

Ro works especially with people who are highly sensitive, spiritually attuned, and aware that the dominant culture asks them to live in ways that do not feel entirely human. She calls them Thresholders—people who often sense both what is and what might yet become possible.

Her teaching helps people cultivate Ground and Capacity so they can meet life as it is, remain in relationship with what they love, and participate more fully in the places and communities to which they belong.

Through Sacred Evolutions Wisdom School, Ro teaches seasonal wisdom, embodied spirituality, ancestral practice, and the skills of belonging needed for a life lived in deeper relationship with body, Land, Place, and the living world.
