Poorneet — Season of Renewal and Growth 🌱

We are deep in Poorneet, the Wurundjeri season of tadpoles — a time of renewal, growth, and awakening. Across the traditional lands of the Kulin Nation, this season stretches from September to October, when waterways shimmer with life, blossoms unfold, and the pied currawong’s call threads through the hills.

It is a season that celebrates movement , tadpoles transforming quietly in their ponds, trees shifting from bare to full bloom, and birds dancing through new air. The earth feels awake again, and so do we.This calendar, with its seven distinct yet interconnected seasons, invites a profound awareness of rhythm and reciprocity. A deep knowing that we are part of, not separate from, the natural world. It reminds us that renewal happens not just around us, but within us too.

Finding Balance in the Turning Seasons

In Poorneet, everything is in motion, life rising from stillness, light stretching a little longer each day. Ayurveda, too, teaches that spring is a time to reawaken. After the still, heavy months of winter we’re called to bring warmth, circulation, and vitality back into body and mind.

But this renewal isn’t about rushing forward or striving. It’s about softening into change, honouring the natural process of emergence. We might ask:

• What within me is ready to thaw or dissolve?

• What new growth is quietly taking shape beneath the surface?

• How can I meet this transformation with curiosity instead of control?

Renewal as Practice

To live in rhythm with the seasons — as Wurundjeri wisdom teaches — is to live in relationship. Each breath, each movement, each small noticing becomes an act of connection: with Country, with self, with the vast network of life that holds us.

Poorneet reminds us that renewal is not a task but a truth , an ever-turning, ever-giving cycle that we are always part of. 🌸
