‘In the Chinese calendar there is an extra season that blooms between the spaces of late summer and autumn. Long Summer, as it's called, is a liminal season— one that lasts the small handspan of time between the ending of August and the equinox arrival of fall. A time marked by the fire of late-blooming pineapple sage and copper-headed sunflowers. Fuchsias, gold and grain coming into their ripeness. Traditionally, Long Summer was a time of embracing lush stillness, that quiet that comes with the last breath of heat, the calm that precedes the filling cool of Fall.

Within every big movement is a more subtle cycle, and in this transitional season we enter into the Earth element. A time of butter-light and the bone deep need for rest, this short season of in-between asks us to re-root in our foundations before the sweep of fall. It is a sacred pause for integration. An invitation to come back into a state of balance after the hubbub of summer, and find a place of peaceful neutrality before the waning of autumn begins’-Asia Suler
