Lia’s Living Almanac
Lia’s Living Almanac is Lia’s Substack newsletter that brings her work to life throughout the year: noticing the moon and stars, first flowers, changing light, ripening fruit, birdsong and all the small signs that mark the seasons.
Each week Lia shares what she has been noticing and doing: full moons, night-skies, solstices and equinoxes, foraging and baking. Her community of readers add their own and together they create a monthly poem, published on the last day of each month of the year.
It is a place to slow down, pay attention and feel more connected to the seasons.
The weekly seasonal posts are free to read and to contribute to. Come and join the Lia’s Living Almanac Community.
As the Season Turns
As the Season Turns is Lia’s podcast produced in collaboration with Ffern, makers of seasonal perfumes.
Each episode is released on the first of the month and follows the changing landscape of the seasons - from the moon and the stars, to the tides and the trees.
The podcast is now in its fifth edition.
