As the leaves begin to change and the days grow shorter, the transition from summer to fall brings more than just cooler temperatures and pumpkin-spiced everything. For many, the changing seasons can also bring a shift in mood and mental health. While autumn can be a time of reflection and renewal for some, others may find themselves struggling with feelings of sadness, fatigue, or anxiety as daylight decreases and routines change. Understanding how seasonal changes impact mental health is important for recognizing the signs of seasonal depression and taking steps to maintain your mental well-being.

According to the American Psychiatric Association, some Americans experience seasonal affective disorder (SAD), a form of depression that comes on in the fall/ winter and is thought to be related to decreased exposure to sunlight. Symptoms of SAD include negative mood, changes in appetite and sleep patterns, and decreased energy. But it’s not just our moods that shift with the changing of the seasons. In a new review (Hohm, Wormley, Schaller, & Varnum, 2023) found that seasons affect a wide range of mental and behavioral phenomena.  Seasons also affect sex, aggression, and generosity. Our aesthetic preferences and cognitive abilities also vary throughout the year and change with the seasons.

Why Seasons Affect Us

There are a number of reasons why seasons may affect us the way that they do. Some of these reasons have to do with changes in exposure to sunlight as is likely the case with SAD or seasonal variation in sexual activity. In other cases, such as seasonal variation in generosity, the cultural associations we hold with different times of year, such as the traditions and norms surrounding Christmas, may be driving the effect.

Join us for an informative evening where together we will discuss:

Why Seasons Affect Us

The Science Behind Seasonal Mood Changes: How Your Brain Responds to the Seasons

Causes and Risk Factors for SAD.

Treatment Options for Seasonal Affective Disorder

Practical Tips for Managing Seasonal Affective Disorder

And ultimately How to cultivate a life of gratitude which is less likely to lead towards SAD.

Discover the powerful influence, meaning & vibration of numbers!

Numerology is the study of numbers and their energetic influence on our lives. Because we see and interact with numbers every day, it’s easy to take them for granted. But numbers are symbols that carry energetic vibrations which impact humanity on a cosmic level. All number’s vibrations are unique and, therefore, each affects us in a different way.

Numerology can be used to find direction and meaning in your life. It can also be used for forecasting, to see what kind of energy will be influencing you in the future. Many people even use Numerology as a resource when naming a child or business. The numbers present in a name impact its overall personality and potential, so some will put great intention into choosing a name that brings the desired results.

Your birthday is made up entirely of numbers. Even the letters in your name correspond with specific numbers. There are numbers in your age, your address, your phone number, your paycheck… They are all around you — and within you! The most direct way that they affect your energies is from your very own Numerology chart. The numbers in your chart — like your Life Path and other core numbers — influence you in very personal ways because they are derived from YOUR birth date and full name.

We will decode each person’s name, birthdate & life path number!

This is just a sampling of what you will learn in this Numerology Class for Beginners.
