A Seasonal Turning Point!
“Four seasons fill the measure of the year;
There are four seasons in the mind of men. ”
~ John Keats ~
Hi,
We’ve just passed the Equinox on March 21, one of two
dates each year when the hours of daylight equal the hours of darkness.
All over the world, rituals are most common at this time to anchor our participation
and oneness with the abundance and cycles of nature. What does this time mean for us?
Those of us in the northern hemisphere are emerging from the dark time when we may have
drawn inward in hibernation. In many traditions, the first day of Spring marks the start
of a new year. It is a time of clearing the slower energies of the winter and preparing
for a new cycle of growth. It is a time of awakening and recommitting to life as spring
brings in energy and warmth. It is a celebration of being born again and resurrected from the dead.
Residents of the southern hemisphere are leaving behind the creative manifesting period
of summer. This is a time of harvest, community, celebration and thanksgiving. It is a
time of completion, balance and realizing the abundance around us. As the sun retreats,
we also retreat inside to rest, reflect on the past and future, and strengthen our spirits.
At this same time, in astrological terms, the sun moves into Aries - a sign representing
energy, drive, initiative and motivation. There is a restlessness and an openness to change
and new experiences.
Whether you are moving into the light or the darkness, now’s a perfect time to reflect
on your relationship to life. We invite you to revisit what brings you personal and spiritual
fulfillment.
We wish you an inspiring, productive and meaningful new chapter in your life's journey.
“Live in each season as it passes; breathe the
air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influences of each.”
~ Henry David Thoreau ~
