The future enters into us, in order to transform itself in us, long before it happens.
-Rainer Maria Rilke
Moving through the Transformational Cycle is a natural process that each of us is always engaged in, whether we see it or not. Consciously and mindfully engaging in the cycle yields better and more profound results. We can use the metaphor of a garden and the four seasons to illustrate how the cycle operates.
Winter: A vision emerges from within us while in the resting stage of winter. We articulate it during this quieter season.
Spring: We look for fertile ground to plant the seeds of our vision with others. We align our lives to our new vision; preparing ourselves to tend to our transformational garden.
Summer: We are now deeply involved with the nurturing of our garden; weeding out what we don’t want and watering what we do. We are learning from fellow gardeners and from our own trials and errors.
Autumn: We persist and now harvest the fruits of our labor. We have embedded our vision into reality and the world has been changed.
