We humans have always tracked time using the cycles— both on the ground and up in the sky.  This is the core concept of the EarthCycles calendar: Earth's cycles!&#x20;

Alas, accustomed as we are to square and linear calendars, a circular calendar takes a little getting used to.  However, once you get the gist, its actually all quite straightforward— and you'll wonder why you weren't looking at time this way all along!

This wiki takes you through the different facets of the EarthCycles calendar step by step.  Use the panel on the left to navigate.&#x20;
