Chrysalis Awakening: A Spring Equinox Tribute to the Soul

Doors open at 1:50

As our bodies, minds, and spirits begin to awaken to the warmer energy abound, we are invited to gather in community to tend to our own soul’s reflection of the change of season. We are encouraged to showcase the earth’s expression of spring equinox through our own practices of rooting down and rising unapologetically.

🌿🐦‍🔥

We meet on this day of equal light and dark, to reflect on our shadows, and the themes and experiences we explored in the previous seasons. We treasure the gift of life by pausing to honor these aspects of our being and choosing to truly see them. We become ready to shed the pieces that no longer feed our commitment to vitality, renewal, and rebirth, and we become more fluid in our rise to full expression and expansion.

🐛🦋

💗This is the ceremony of life, the universe’s invitation to come back home to the sacredness of every moment. 💗

✨ In this tribute to the equinox, we bare sacred witness to each other, inspiring our emergence from winter’s chrysalis. Today’s tapestry is a reiki-infused weave of guided meditation, reflection prompts, group activities, partner work, meditation-in-motion, ceremony, and the sacred dream. Seekers (participants) are invited to come as they are. *Wherever we are in the earth cycle, let’s meet each other there* ✨

🫖I will prepare a caffeine-free herbal tea.

👜Please bring:

1. A small altar item that connects you with any theme related to the spring equinox
2. Water bottle
3. Journal & writing utensil
4. Mug for tea
5. Fresh flower (already fallen onto the earth, or from a store) for ceremony
6. Eye cover (optional)
7. Throw blanket and small pillow (optional—if you like a little more comfort)
8. Meditation cushion or pillow (optional)
