The dance of water (feminine) and fire (masculine) intensifies: water replenishing, fire clearing impurities, opposites in delicate harmony, drawing us inward to retreat and realign within our solar cycle.
This is a passage, not just “one day.” Honor the transition over several days rather than a fixed date. In Australia, the shift into summer spans ~4 days; here in the North, winter’s arrival unfolds over ~9 days. Awareness of these shifts supports your inner/outer landscape and reclaims your natural rhythm with place.
We’re spiraling into mastery of self, serving communities with balance and reciprocation, season by season.
May you dance freely with Mother Nature and divine love this winter/summer transition. See what unfolds.

Winter is WINTERING here in the northern hemisphere. The season of “death” with an opportunity to reflect on fear with COURAGE and a deeper willingness to understand what this the threshold of death is truly about. Historically, we have been lead to move quickly at this time of year; however, by running ahead one is bypassing this sacred moment to be, receive and transform. Fear is what places most of us in a freeze state like the cold winter’s snow. When we learn to be still in the freeze state we can give way and receive what is needed to transcend those fears and welcome the fire to melt away those afflictions in the mind, body and soul.
We have made it fully into WINTER and SUMMER with our brother’s and sister’s rocking steady at the equator. We’re spiraling into mastery of self, serving communities with balance and reciprocation, season by season.
May you dance freely with Mother Nature and divine love this winter/summer transition.
See what unfolds. Simply. Listen. Rest in the Void.

Contemplations:

What gives you courage daily?

Humanity + Earth Friendly Goodies
Formulated by the founder and master herbalist, Mason Taylor, this functional mushroom blend is designed to support digestive health, immunity, sustained energy, and sharper focus. It also enhances overall vitality, supports balanced mood and hormone function, and uniquely promotes gut health.
Featuring the combined power of Cordyceps (Cordyceps militaris), Maitake (Grifola frondosa), Poria (Wolfiporia cocos), Shiitake (Lentinula edodes), Agaricus (Agaricus subrufescens), Lion’s Mane (Hericium erinaceus), Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum), and Chaga (Inonotus obliquus) – each selected for their revered traditional uses and modern-day applications.
Made exclusively from Dì Dào (地道) sourced mushroom fruiting bodies, grown on wood – just as Taoist herbalists prescribed over 2,000 years ago.
This is not a trend blend. This is a full-spectrum 10:1 extract prepared using the Huo-Hou (火候)method – a time-honoured technique applying optimal heat and pressure for peak potency, thoughtfully composed for long-term use across the shifting seasons of life.
While compounds like beta-glucans, polysaccharides, triterpenes, and cordycepin are naturally present, our focus is not on isolating or standardising them. We honour the complete biochemical and energetic profile of each mushroom – as used in traditional Taoist and Classical Chinese medicine for millennia.
Mason’s Mushrooms is loved by parents, thinkers, creators, and anyone seeking a resilient system and sustainable energy – as well as those navigating burnout, immune depletion, recovery, or digestive imbalance.
Heart + Mind Food
As we make our way through the final days of transitioning into winter and summer, it is the perfect time to give yourself a deeper pause.
Turn off all the external noise and rest in your own silence. Find your still point within you and rest in the VOID. The DARKNESS. Rest there, HUMANITY.
Within this space, all things exisit and all things do not exisit. Your full potential rests right there. Similar to when your dropped into your mother’s womb. It was DARK, warm and there was a rhythmic beat from her heart and voice. All of which held you in the most sacred retreat while miracles upon miracles formed each and every sacred inch of your being.
The truth is…they tried to rush you back towards the light, tricking you into believing the darkness and the mother are responsible for your suffering and pain. In conjunction with the idea that ‘the light’ was involved in creating the miracle that you are. Yet, it is the complete opposite. The mother, the void, the darkness are the sacred resting point for all creation.
As inspired, create the space to rest there. Even if you do not know how, start with just imagining what it felt like being in the nothingness before you dropped in.
