On time vs. Natural Time – Why C.P. Time (natural time) Actually Makes Sense	Mikuak	Many ancient and indigenous cultures have based their timing on a 13-moon sequence because it relates directly to the harmonic balance of the human fertility cycle and coincides with a full solar year. Central to this 'Natural Time' perspective is the 13 Moon/28-day calendar, which is, itself, synchronized with the bio-rhythms of Earth, the Sun, and larger galactic cycles. By learning and attuning our awareness to these natural cycles we begin to shift our consciousness from the pre-dominant paradigm of "time is money" to a dynamic, living awareness that "Time is Art."  Be sure to visit Mikuak's vendor booth for a private reading!
