<strong><a href="https://twitter.com/late_lewis">Louis Bijl de Vroe</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/nowsimon">Simon Ohler</a> (that’s us) are philosophers and brothers in spirit. We are the founders of <a href="http://spitmief.substack.com/">Spiritual Mischief</a>, a podcast that combines culture, comedy, and ancient wisdom. In this <a href="https://interintellect.com/series/life-and-work-in-the-rhythm-of-the-seasons/">salon series</a>, we offer you a peek into our studies.</strong>

Based on the eastern philosophy of The Dao, and the book that Dr. Jaap Voigt wrote on the topic, we show you how to synchronize your life and your work with the flow of the seasons, and find your balance and unlock your natural creativity.

<h4>On the current month:</h4>
<strong>July: Consolidating contacts in the outside world</strong>

In this month you can give your own creative impulses and all that you have acquired a soft ripeness. Do so very carefully and step by step. Think about what your own weaknesses are and try to improve on them. Make your strengths even stronger.

Protect yourself from temptations that are just around the corner in this period. If you are unsure whether something is a new challenge or a temptation, take the time to investigate. In doing so, address all the details.

The potential built up in the first half of the year is starting to emerge in various forms in your life and work. Cherish those new forms and feed them with great care and patience. Don’t act too soon and be aware of the temptations that appear. In general, it is a month in which unimpeded expansion can occur.

<em>Join us to study the energy of this month, or book a <a href="https://interintellect.com/series/life-and-work-in-the-rhythm-of-the-seasons/">"season ticket"</a> to be with us throughout Summer and Autumn.</em>
