DESCRIPTION:
We will gather to celebrate the many gifts of spring and how the season might invite inner awareness, guidance and inspiration. As part of nature, our bodies are attuned with seasonal changes that we celebrate together.

During our gathering we will experience various meditative practices in nature including a forest soaking walk, the science of equinox, and time to reflect on what is “springing forth” in our life and what needs “cultivating”. We will close our gathering with a time of sharing around a campfire with poetry and a spring blessing for all.

WHAT TO BRING:
Packed lunch or snack
Water bottle
Shoes appropriate for a meditative walk
