The spring equinox is the midpoint between the winter and summer solstices. The earth is in balance, leaning neither toward nor away from the sun, the days and nights about equal length. It’s no longer winter and yet barely spring—a fertile, expectant time, a time of renewal, rebirth and awakening—a time to breathe fresh life and energy into our dreams and hopes and plans. The stabilizing energy of the equinox gives us a chance to check in and see how we’re doing as we emerge from winter. What’s awakening in you? What’s in or out of balance? Where are you ready to take action?

This gathering includes a short talk, a guided meditation, journaling and/or sharing, and maybe a little movement or music. If you wish, bring something that symbolizes balance, hope or newness to you (a candle, an egg, some flowers, a piece of clear or rose quartz, a picture of your dream garden, etc.) and something to write with.
