Hello and welcome to Seasonal Living with Victoria Harrison. This is a gentle and welcoming community for all those who want to embrace a wilder, simpler way of living. I’m very happy you’re here.
I’m Vicky Harrison, author of Rewild Your Home and Happy by Design. I’m a nature and lifestyle writer and I live in a tiny wild home in the beautiful English countryside. You can read a bit more about me and my books here.
I’ve been writing about homes and gardens for magazines and newspapers for 20 years. I specialise in seasonal living and exploring how a connection to the natural world can help to bring us peace and happiness.
I’m inspired by the turning of the year and the changing seasons and this newsletter is a place for me to explore how we can all weave a bit more nature into our homes and find our way back to an ancient seasonal calendar.
Come and join us
If you love the idea of a simple life, linked to the ebb and flow of the seasons then this is the place for you! Come on in and be part of a community of people who share your interests and love of the natural world.
Sign up for my newsletters and I will send you a regular slice of seasonal magic to help you live a life more wild. From soothing seasonal rituals and delicious recipes to ideas for celebrating the ancient seasonal festivals, I hope each newsletter will be a little seasonal jewel for you to discover and enjoy.
There are two levels; a free subscription plan for those who want to dip a toe in the waters first, and a paid Seasonal Retreat Membership for those who want to dive right into the cool refreshing water and swim under the stars. All are welcome.
“I genuinely look forward to reading every post of Victoria's - her wisdom and down to earth way of explaining how we can tune into the seasons is truly beautiful.”
