I started LIVING WITH THE MOON a few years ago, based on my grandmother’s biodynamic wisdom and a handful of cherished tips and recipes. Here is a bit of information about the journey and what it entails.
CREATING A HOLISTIC LIFESTYLE
When I started the Living With The Moon website in 2008, it was grounded in my grandmother’s biodynamic calendar charts, a few cherished family recipes, and a handful of lifestyle tips. This system—what I now call LIVING WITH THE MOON (LWTM)—has always been a part of my life. It’s like my own “magic carpet”—invisible yet grounding, providing purpose and balance, and has been my guiding force for as long as I can remember.
What started as a simple calendar to plan and time activities has grown into getting a monthly or even yearly overview with added layers touching on health & beauty, relationships, gardening, money management, and how to create balance and happiness in your life. It has grown into a Holistic Life Planning system. Events usually happen in cycles, and harnessing this knowledge can make a big difference in planning the right life strategies.
This philosophy isn’t new; it’s rooted in the teachings of Aristotle (born in 385 B.C. in Ancient Greece), who famously said, “The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.” This simple yet powerful statement speaks to the interconnectedness of all life. Just as the body is a sum of its parts, so too is the world.
While it’s challenging for one person to change the world, there’s one place where you have total control: yourself. Imagine if everyone strived to be the best version of themselves—what a beautiful impact that would have on the world!
When you are healthy, happy, and in balance, you radiate positive energy. It’s a mental state, and with a bit of care, anyone can reach that state of mind—no matter where they come from, what their income is, or where they live. Many people seem to have everything on the outside, but still lack true happiness. This is because true fulfilment comes from within.
The LWTM Holistic Lifegoal Planner is designed to help you rediscover your “spark”—the part of you that radiates joy and purpose. It enables you to identify your true desires and gives you the tools to align your actions with your values. Once you understand who you truly are, you can begin building a life that reflects that.
In line with this, the LWTM Lifestyle Calendar offers a beautiful way to maintain balance in every area of your life. By using our coloured-coded symbols, we break down key areas like Health and Beauty, Home and Garden, Relationships, Career & Finance, and finally Well-being and Happiness. These sections are organized to make it easy to find tips, recipes, and guidance for each area of life.
This calendar will guide you toward a life that is balanced and intentional. It’s not about perfection—it’s about aligning the many aspects of your life in harmony with your deeper values and the rhythms of nature.
CREATING YOUR BALANCED LIFE
When I was younger, I remember my grandmother saying, “You can have everything, but not all at the same time.” As a child, it didn’t make much sense to me. But as I grew older, I realized just how true that was. We can’t do everything at once, but we can live a life that balances all the areas that truly matter.
The Holistic Lifegoal Planner helps you answer the key question: “How do you want to build a happy and fulfilled life?” We all have vague ideas of what we want, but it’s only by drilling down to what truly matters that we can begin to shift our lives in the right direction. This process helps you design a life that reflects your true self and your deepest values.
THE POWER OF BIODYNAMICS
The strength of the biodynamic lifestyle lies in its ability to help you balance the different areas of your life. This system works in harmony with nature’s rhythms—like the moon cycles, the seasons, and the natural flow of energy around us. By applying these principles, you can create a holistic, well-rounded life.
Once you understand the system, you can tailor it to fit your personal circumstances. The calendar will give you suggestions on what to focus on each day and how to align your actions with the natural cycles around you. Over time, you’ll see a clearer, more fulfilling picture of your life unfold.
