Syyspolku on ensimmäinen verkkokurssini, jossa yhdistyvät rituaalit, omat juuret ja luonnon syklit.

Toimin kurssin valmentajana – olen Reetta Ranta, tarinankertoja, ammattivalmentaja ja media-alan yrittäjä. Kutsumukseni on olla sillanrakentaja ikiaikaisen viisauden…

Johdatus Syyspolulle: Sadonkorjuun rituaalit Masterclass tiistaina 5.8. klo 18–19Â
Rakastan syksyä! 🍂 Elokuun lämpimiä, pimeneviä iltoja, tähtitaivaan paluuta ja sadonkorjuun aikaa, syyskuun väriloistoa ja sienisatoa. Huomaan kuitenkin, että syksyn tulo voi myös ahdistaa: kesän loppuminen, töiden aloitus, uudet projektit, arkirytmiin siirtyminen ja tulevat kiireet alkavat hiipiä mieleen. Kurkien ja muiden muuttolintujen lähtö, joka saa nomadisieluni haluamaan niiden selkään ja suuntaamaan kohti Lintukotoa! 🪶 Mielessä…
ImagineNATIVE and the Strawberry Moon: What I Learned at the World’s Largest Indigenous Film Festival
It’s hard to put into words everything I experienced last week in Toronto at the ImagineNATIVE Film Festival — but I’ll try.

December: Time to Rest and Celebrate the Return of the Sun
In December, darkness persists, but as the cold tightens its grip, frost blankets the ground, trees, and bushes, lending the landscape a softer and brighter appearance. The starry sky is especially mesmerizing on crisp frosty nights. The Geminid meteor shower can be admired, particularly around the middle of the month, and the year’s final meteor…
November: The Month of Darkness and Death
This November has been heavy on my heart. Last weekend, we celebrated Father’s Day in Finland for the first time without my father, who passed away late last year. I carry thoughts of him with me every day, but these past weeks have felt especially heavy. To add to the weight, our beloved dog was…
October: Harvest Festivals and Remembering the Dead
Gray, dark, wet, and muddy. That’s how we Finns perceive October, especially if we have to recall the dark fall days around midsummer. Another name for the month has sometimes been likakuu, “Dirt Moon”. But our perception of October is quite wrong, as it is indeed a month of celebration!
