Exploring Meditation 2026: A Year of Seasonal Practice
As I stay cosy and warm inside this afternoon, a spring rain shower and rolling thunder are putting on a show outside! It feels like the perfect backdrop for reflection, and I’ve been turning my thoughts to the year ahead, mapping out the 2026 calendar for our Exploring Meditation series.
Each season of the year (and life) brings its own beautiful and unique rhythm … a shift in light, energy, and pace that subtly shapes how we move through the world, and how we might approach and expand our meditation practice. I wanted to share some of the inspiration and guidance we can receive from practicing Seasonal Mindfulness within the Exploring Meditation course, where each 40-day program offers a gentle immersion into learning and deepening a personal meditation practice, woven with awareness of the changing seasons and their quiet influence on our inner lives.
I have some exciting plans and big projects lined up for next year (more on those soon), and with family and friends’ events already penciled into my calendar, it’s been a gentle juggling act to find the right dates – but at last, I am happy to share our four seasonal Exploring Meditation programs.
Each Exploring Meditation 40-day course is a standalone journey, offering daily guidance to help you learn and deepen a meditation practice. READ MORE HERE. While the focus remains on building presence and insight, each course is gently attuned to the season, allowing you to notice how seasonal rhythms can support and inspire your practice at that particular time of year.

The 2026 Seasonal Journey:
Summer 2026 – 5 Jan to 13 Feb. *COMING SOON
Summer brings warmth, light, and expansive energy. The start of a new year offers momentum and clarity, inviting us to consider the tools we might need for the months ahead. Long days and vibrant surroundings encourage presence amid activity, supporting a practice of meditation, gentle movement, and mindful breathwork to balance vitality with calm awareness. Join us this Summer to cultivate presence and joy in the midst of all life’s energy.
Early Autumn 2026 – 2 Mar to 10 Apr
Early Autumn is a season of reflection and release. As nature slows and leaves change, meditation, journaling, and gentle movement help us let go of what no longer serves us and create space for clarity and gratitude. Step into Early Autumn with practices that refresh your mind and nourish your spirit.
Early Winter 2026 – 18 May to 26 Jun
Early Winter encourages stillness and restoration. With longer nights and quieter days, meditation, mindful breathwork, and gentle movement help us conserve energy, nurture inner warmth, and deepen self-awareness. Embrace Early Winter to restore balance and reconnect with your inner calm.
Spring 2026 – 7 Sep to 16 Oct
Spring is a time of renewal and growth. Nature awakens, and fresh energy pulses through the world. Meditation, mindful walks, and gentle movement help us align with this vitality, supporting clarity, creativity, and new beginnings. Welcome Spring with practices that inspire growth, creativity, and fresh possibilities.

Over the course of 40 days, each program offers daily guidance, subtly attuned to the season. This gentle seasonal awareness helps you notice how the world around you can enrich and inspire your practice, supporting a deeper connection to both the natural rhythms of the year and your own inner landscape.
A reflection on how meditation is not just a pause, but a way to flow gracefully through the changing landscapes of life.
