Happy Spring Equinox!
Equinox is all about balance. The balance of light and dark, of unseen forces, of our beloved Earth on her axis. For those of us in the northern hemisphere, this day also marks a return to warmth, growth, and longer days. The sap is beginning to run in the trees, birds are more spirited, and flowers are bringing bright color back to the grey and brown landscape that accompanied us through the Winter.
Though momentous, the equinox is as fleeting as a meditative pause between an inhale and an exhale. Almost as soon as the alignment can be registered it has shifted and our Earth has begun to lean again in the rhythm of its glorious and infinite wobble.
So savor this day, tune in to stillness, take a moment to appreciate your own gravity and connection to this marvelous planet that we call home, Gaia, and mother. Breathe in, pause, exhale. Feel the smile in your heart and be grateful that you've been cast in this incredible and mysterious story of life that is ever unfolding.
Watercolor meditation classes are resuming today after a brief pause while we relocated to our new space. Join us today, and every Friday, from 10am - 11am for a guided mindful painting session. No experience necessary. Materials can be provided.
