🌬️ OVERVIEW

Zephyra is the month of the sacred windwalker—the one who hears what others miss, feels what is unseen, and moves with the wisdom of the atmosphere. After the fire and focused emergence of Decem, Zephyra cools the path and prepares the soul for the Solstice stillpoint. This month is an invisible bridge, carried on breath, voice, wind, and whisper.

Zephyra teaches us how to listen, how to carry messages, and how to move without force. It is the sacred practice of alignment without resistance, grace before grounding, and the final breath before the inward turn.
