Seasonal Herbalism with Meghan Rhodes: Ayurvedic Doshas and the Wheel of the Year Part Two

Hannah Forest interviews Meghan Rhodes on the Old Ways for the New Age Podcast

I am so pleased to be back in conversation with the wonderful Hannah Forest of Old Ways for the New Age Podcast. This is our third chat and the second in a series of three being released.


'Winter Solstice... it's the innermost facing season. It's one of the seasons that's retained so many of the older traditions that are focused on keeping up our resilience, like food, family fire and friends.'

This episode - Seasonal Herbalism with Meghan Rhodes: Ayurvedic Doshas and the Wheel of the Year Part Two - is available across podcast platforms, as well as on YouTube.

In this episode we discuss:


🌿A deep exploration of Yule, the Winter Solstice, and ways you can attune the flow of your daily rhythms, as well as herbs and other practices to weave into your life at this time

🌿The invitation of winter to turn inwards, say no, do less and be less

🌿The energetics and qualities of Imbolc, Candlemas, and if it's really the time to start cleansing/refreshing your body

🌿Spring Equinox, Beltane, Summer Solstice and how our daily rhythms stretch as the daylight stretches

🌿How attuning to the eight seasons fosters creativity and enjoyment within each turning of the wheel

So make a cosy herbal cuppa or settle in for your walk or drive and enjoy!

And if you want more, but can't wait until part three airs or missed part one, have a listen to our previous conversations:

🌿Sensory Herbalism & Exploring Herbal Tastes
🌿Part One
