Harvest Calendar
Earth completes a full revolution around the Sun, a cycle that governs seasons, growth, and the rhythm of life. However, the word year feels abstract, disconnected from this cosmic reality, and fails to evoke emotion or gratitude. To honor our connection with Earth and Sun, we call Earth’s revolution around the Sun a Loop

A Loop in the Harvest Calendar is divided into 13 equal months, each 28 days long. Unlike traditional months (28, 29, 30, 31 days), this uniformity brings predictability, intuitiveness, easiness, and harmony to scheduling, celebrations, and life’s rhythm.
13
Traditional calendars have weeks that spill over or leave extra days. You can’t even tell which week of the month it is—4.123456789 weeks? It’s counterintuitive, cumbersome, and unnecessary. In the Harvest Calendar, every month has exactly 4 full Phases .

Day
In the Harvest Calendar, each month has 28 days, and every day always falls on the same date. Each week begins on the same day every month, creating a consistent, reliable rhythm. By contrast, traditional calendars are unpredictable—some months start on Monday, others on Tuesday—making scheduling confusing and inconsistent.
28
Instead of leap days, the Harvest Calendar uses a Leap Week, Reflection and Redirection Week or Phase to stay in sync with the solar cycle
