Have you ever wondered why the date of Easter fluctuates from year to year? Since the early days of Christianity, the celebration of Easter has been connected to spring, when nature is transitioning from winter’s cold, dark days to spring’s light filled, warmer days bursting with new growth and life. It’s also the season for celebrating the Spring Equinox - a time of year when our earth is temporarily balanced between light and dark. By learning ways to align with this seasonal energy we can begin to work with rather than against the natural rhythm of the season. Join us as we explore Easter through the lens of the season of the Spring Equinox and discover ways we can align with its energy. Through short contemplative exercises, simple writing and artistic expression as well as learning what foods will best help us to transition into the season, we can learn how to be more in balance within ourselves and within the natural world.
